Daniel Cormier shrugs off Jake Paul challenge: ‘I would kill him’

Daniel Cormier isn’t taking the bait.

Following a first-round knockout of former ONE and Bellator champion Ben Askren this past Saturday, Jake Paul has begun to solicit for his next boxing match and several fighters have already volunteered their services including Tyron Woodley and B.J. Penn.

Woodley cornered Askren against Paul, so that clash of personalities was seemingly inevitable. Boxer J’Leon Love has jumped to Paul’s defense and offered to fight Woodley himself, a suggestion that Paul finds appealing after Cormier addressed the Woodley-Love beef.

“Okay fat boy,” Paul said, responding to Cormier on Twitter.
