Jake Paul
After his insane knockout victory over former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley in a boxing rematch, Jake Paul is on the seventh cloud. He improved his boxing record to 5-0, and now he’s thinking about making a transition to other sports as well.
During the buildup for this rematch, he states that he wants to compete in MMA, and he thinks he will do pretty well inside the octagon. In a media scrum for his rematch with Tyron Woodley, Paul said to ESPN Correspondent Marc Raimondi, “I don’t see why if I can do boxing at that high of a level, I couldn’t do MMA at this high of a level. I’m gonna go get coached up by Javier Mendez, Team Khabib, and that’s that. They’re down. A 100%.”
“It’s more simple in a way,” Jake Paul compares boxing and american football
Talking to his brother Logan Paul in the recent episode of Impaulsive, Jake stated that he wants to make his debut in the NFL, he said, “I wanna go to NFL after this like like legitimately just just to play like safety and just deck people. No, I swear to god and I’m about to.. I’m about to bring hell of ratings to whatever team I’m on.” When asked about the team he would like to join, he said, “Sh*t, The Browns, bring it back like who would have ever thought I would play for the Cleveland Browns, no right. I don’t know that would be crazy.”
He believes given his athletic background, he will find immense success in football, he said, “I got hands but that’s what I’m saying that’s not the equivalent if you just start boxing as an NFL player, you’re gonna get fu**ed up, but I’ve been playing football my whole life and it’s much different than boxing. Its..it’s more simple in a way I know, it’s I know it’s very tough and the defense is intricate and you have to put in so much time to understand all the plays and stuff but at the end of the day it’s coverage knowing your plays and then just being fast and willing to sacrifice your body to make a tackle you could be a team player.”
