Jake Paul- Khabib Nurmagomedov
Jake Paul has aspirations of pursuing a fighter’s life in the long run, and not just in boxing. Paul so far is 4-0 in his professional boxing career and it wasn’t seen as a big of a deal until Paul knocked out former world champion of MMA Ben Askren in the first round in April this year. If the excuse of Askren being primarily a grappler was enough, Paul decided to take on former UFC Welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. To the world’s surprise, Paul really did well against Woodley to secure a decision victory.
Now Paul was supposed to fight a professional boxer in Tommy Fury within a couple of days, till it was announced that Fury cannot fight due to a grave injury, that’s when Woodley jumped as a replacement to avenge his loss to Paul. Paul is aiming at remaining an undefeated boxer so that he can make his transition big and interesting for another sport.

A 100%.” Javier Mendez, famous for coaching in boxing aspect of MMA, is the head coach and founder of American Kickboxing Academy.
