According to himself, Jake Paul has reportedly finished fighting the old UFC legend.
The “problem child” has been out of the ring since facing Anderson Silva in October. The fight was the biggest test of the former YouTuber-turned-boxer’s career so far, and he lived up to expectations. While the fight was approaching, an eight-round knockdown secured Paul’s victory by decision.

Since beginning his boxing career, Paul has chosen not to fight lower level journeymen or established boxers. Instead, he went up against older MMA fighters of his, such as Tyrone Woodley and Ben Askren.
