Henry Cejudo and Jake Paul
Henry Cejudo or the “King of Cringe” is open to fighting Jake Paul but first, the YouTube boxer has to bend the knee before “Triple C”.
It has been more than a year since the former bantamweight and flyweight champion of UFC decided to hang up his gloves bid adieu to combat sports. Since then most of Henry Cejudo‘s fighting has been online and in podcasts or interviews. He is not known as the King of Cringe for no reason. The fighter believes he could take on Jake in a fight.
Recently, Cejudo was at the Vitor Belfort vs Evander Holyfield fight and was interviewed by FightHype.com. The Olympic champion started off the interview by saying Jake actually has a crush on him.
“Don’t underestimate the fun-size. I would beat Jake Paul because of that reason. I know I’m short…but I’m 160 and what is he, 185? I can get up another 20 pounds if I have to. At least another 10… Jake the snake, if you wanna come at me, you will bend the knee to King Triple C. That’s all I got to say,” said Cejudo.
Henry Cejudo breaks down Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley fight
Jake is coming off a win against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The two stars faced each other inside the boxing ring last month in Ohio at a SHOWTIME pay-per-view event. Paul won the fight via split decision. Most of the MMA fans did not give Jake his credits but Henry believes the YouTube boxer won it fair and square.
“He beat (Tyron) Woodley fair and square. I called that. It’s different with the MMA glove, with the width of the glove and the weight of it, it’s different. You can’t just rely on that right hand. In MMA, you can get that every day, but in boxing, you got to know your combinations,” said Triple C.
