Jake Paul calls out Conor McGregor and Dillion Danis
Jake Paul called out former UFC Champion Conor McGregor for a boxing bout before the fight against Robinson:
There’s no other fighter with as big of a platform as me that’s calling him out right now. He wants to fight Manny Pacquiao, Manny Pacquiao will destroy him. It’ll be another embarrassing night for him, just like when he got embarrassed by Floyd. And so Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor is bound to happen.
Paul revealed ahead of the fight that his stint in boxing is to take him back to his high-school days as an athlete:
For me it made perfect sense, because it took me back to my competitive high-school self, and I’ve fallen in love with boxing over the last three years. I’ve had two fights already, and it’s something that’s really helped me stay focused on becoming the best version of myself.
Robinson, on the other hand, wanted to prove he's one of the best athletes in the world, irrespective of sports disciplines. A boxing fan his whole life, Robinson wanted to prove himself in the ultimate testing ground of combat sports.
I've been a fan of boxing my whole life. Me and my brother, we used to slap box and use boxing gloves in the backyard with my dad. So, it's nothing new, it's just real business now. I've played in front of thousands of people my whole life hooping, so just being able to step into a realm that I've never been in before is challenging for me, but it's also fun to try to see how far I really can go with this."
