In an interview, Jake was clear and made a point of expressing his interest in fighting MMA. It is worth pointing out that the youtuber is no stranger to martial arts. Currently, the internet star focuses on his development in boxing, but in the past, he was a wrestling practitioner. Moreover, the celebrity constantly discusses and challenges Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, among other UFC athletes to fight in the ring.
Excited about what the future holds for his career, ‘The Problem Child’ surprised and revealed that he has already started conversations with Khabib Nurmagomedov and Javier Mendez, the Russian’s main trainer, to help him in a possible migration of sport. And Jake’s choice makes sense, since the professional turned the athlete into an MMA legend and ‘The Eagle’, undefeated in his time as a fighter, remains undefeated also as a coach.
“People forget that I used to wrestle. I don’t see how not. If I can do boxing at such a high level, why couldn’t I do MMA at such a high level? I will be trained by Javier Mendez and Khabib and that’s it. They accepted, 100%, I don’t know yet. I want to go 10-0, 12-0 in boxing first and then have an MMA fight,” declared the youtuber.
Jake Paul, 24, is starting his boxing career, and so far his results in the ring are satisfactory. In good phase in the sport, the celebrity even released a list with the name of his main targets, such as Conor McGregor, Kamaru Usman, Nate and Nick Diaz, Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez, among others.
