Always keeping an eye on UFC stars for boxing challenges, Jake Paul stated that, in the company's current roster, there is one name that he would not like to face. In a rare moment of humility, the youtuber expressed his opposition to a possible fight against Israel adesanya, middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg.). In an interview with 'The Timbo Sugar Show', the digital influencer explained the decision.

“He (Adesanya) is probably the only UFC fighter I wouldn’t fight. He's tall as hell and his striking is excellent. He is one of the best representatives of stand-up fighting in the history of the sport,” he admitted.
A new boxing sensation, Jake frequently proposes challenges to athletes from the company chaired by Dana White. The athlete even faced Ben Askren and Tyron woodley (twice), when the veterans were no longer linked to the company. In the three fights, Paul emerged victorious, in two of them, with brutal knockouts.
Wanting to prove to the world that he is capable of boxing at a high level, Jake had a commitment confirmed for the beginning of August. Initially, the youtuber would face Tommy Fury, who ended up being replaced by Hasim Rahman Jr. The two challenges, however, ended up cancelled.
