Jake Paul and retired boxer Carl Froch had been going back and forth for a while now. Paul recently made some comments on a potential fight with Froch. Here is what happened:

Louis Hart from Boxing Social spoke to Jake Paul ahead of his fight against Ryan Bourland. Talking about a potential fight against Froch, Paul said: 

Of course he would, he wants payday. I'm the new Floyd Mayweather in the sport, seriously. Because I make my own decisions, I do the biggest PPVs, and I'm my own boss so I can move and go wherever I want. So yes, I am the new Floyd in this sport, and yes, everybody wants to fight me.

Jake Paul responded to Carl Froch’s interest in a fight by calling him “desperate” and laid out his terms for the potential bout. Froch questioned the legitimacy of Paul’s wins, particularly noting instances where Paul secured victories with a single shot. Froch even extended an offer to fight both Jake and Logan Paul on the same night. Despite the back-and-forth, ‘The Problem Child’ reportedly backed out of a potential fight with Carl Froch after a public spat.
