Jake Paul: I’d love to spar with Dustin Poirier to prove how good I am

YouTuber Jake Paul isn’t looking to start any beef with Dustin Poirier, but the 24-year-old does want to trade punches with ‘The Diamond’ behind closed doors.

Paul has invited Poirier to a sparring session — no cameras, no trash talk — in Florida to prove how good he is as a fighter and that he is taking his boxing career very seriously.

Paul extended an invitation to Poirier ahead of his upcoming boxing match with Ben Askren on April 17.

“I’ve challenged Dustin Poirier to a spar, we are both here in South Florida. Masvidal was like ‘yo, you and Dustin would be friends I can tell.
