Following his controversial callout of UFC light heavyweight champion, off the back of his latest professional boxing win last weekend, Jake Paul has been backed to potentially cause a massive upset for the ages against the Brazilian, by Octagon veteran Kamaru Usman.
Paul, who scored his tenth professional boxing win over the course of last weekend in Tampa, landed knockdowns aplenty against former UFC welterweight contender, Mike Perry in ‘The Sunshine State; – en route to a blistering sixth round knockout win.
And in the immediate aftermath of his triumph, polarizing striker, Paul called for a fight with former duel-weight UFC champion, Pereira, claiming a matchup between the duo makes sense given their alleged similar stature.
