Jake Paul has heaped praise on MMA fighters as having more heart than boxers after two failed bouts with Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr.
Both of Paul’s previous opponents, Fury and Rahman, didn’t make it to the ring despite weeks of hype in the media whereas Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and Anderson Silva, all of whom represent MMA, stepped up to the plate and put their reputations on the line against a much younger albeit more inexperienced fighter in Ohio’s Problem Child, Jake Paul.
The 25-year-old YouTube star, who defeated Anderson Silva at the weekend, credited MMA fighters for their willingness to step up and fight on short notice, which is more than can be said about boxers Fury and Rahman, both of whom he alleges were ducking him.
