YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul has issued a formal challenge to 19-year-old internet personality IShowSpeed, following Speed’s claim that he could beat Paul with six months of serious training.
The proposed fight comes with a lucrative $10 million offer, which Speed says he is ready to accept immediately.
Paul’s management has reportedly agreed to the terms, paving the way for what could be one of the most anticipated crossover matches in recent times.
This development follows Paul’s recent victory against 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson, a win that has further solidified his presence in the boxing world.
The 27-year-old has faced criticism for avoiding established boxers in favor of less conventional opponents, with some fans mocking his latest callout.
“Bro is ready to fight everyone except the actual people that he is supposed to fight,” one comment read, echoing sentiments that Paul is prioritizing entertainment over genuine boxing challenges.
As the buzz around this potential fight builds, the question remains: will Speed’s confidence and six months of training be enough to face the seasoned Paul in the ring?
