The secret to fishing is all in choosing the right bait. Jake Paul has made an entire boxing career out of hustling athletes from other sports to face off against him in the ring. Most recently, he picked up a unanimous decision victory over former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, his fourth straight win over a former MMA title holder.
While Paul’s next professional boxing opponents seem most likely to be either Tommy Fury or Nate Diaz, the celebrity pugilist’s feud with UFC owner Dana White has seen him make regular ovations to face active UFC talent. It may be that he’ll finally get his wish.
