Jake Paul hands challenge to former boxing champion on eve of Tommy Fury fight

Jake Paul has publicly challenged Carl Froch to a fight after his upcoming bout with Tommy Fury

Jake Paul has publicly challenged Carl Froch to a fight after the former boxer said a fight with the YouTuber-turned-boxer would be a "mismatch."

Paul is currently preparing for an eagerly anticipated bout with Tommy Fury, a fight that has been two years in the making. Two meetings between the bitter rivals have already fallen through, but the fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, looks set to go ahead on February 26.

The pair are both undefeated in their professional boxing careers, with Paul holding a 6-0 record and Fury coming in at 8-0.

Paul is already in Saudi Arabia preparing for the fight, but he has made it clear who he wants his next opponent to be.

Earlier this week, Froch, a super middleweight champion who retired in 2015, said he would have 'no problem' beating Paul in the ring.

In response, Paul challenged Froch to fight him as long as he can replicate Paul's own victory against Brazilian MMA veteran Anderson Silva. Here's what Paul said:


Earlier this week, Froch told iFL TV: "If a fight with Jake Paul genuinely transpired and he thought to himself, 'Yeah I'll take Froch on', which he never-ever would because it would be ridiculous... I might be 45 years old but any retired professional world champion that keeps themselves in good shape would have absolutely no problem playing with Jake Paul.

"It would be like a mismatch. You'd probably have to train a little bit, just to get the lungs and heart filled up with a bit of air. Get yourself so you can do at least two minutes of one round.

"You don't have to worry about doing two or three rounds, but you do need to be able to throw at least 10 punches. So yeah I'll get myself in the 10-punch state but it ain't going to happen."
