Jake Paul will be looking to continue his forray into boxing with another busy year of fights and one potential opponent has thrown their hat into the ring when it comes to taking on 'The Problem Child'.
Donald Cerrone, who has competed in UFC's lightweight and welterweight division, has expressed his interested in a fight with Paul, who has already beaten a number of MMA stars including Ben Askren and Anderson Silva.
"Would I like to fight him?” Cerrone responded when asked by Thicc Boy Studios about facing Paul.
“How could I say no to millions of dollars? I would definitely go out there and do it, but I’m not sitting here saying, ‘Jake you’re a YouTuber, you’re not worth a f—k, blah blah blah.’ No, man.
"You’re making money and if you want to throw some money my way, I’m with you. The Jake Paul phenomenon is kind of crazy, it’s got everyone calling him out."
Cerrone then went onto compare Paul's rise in popularity in combat sports to that of former two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor, who is someone Paul has often been linked with when it comes to going head-to-head in the ring.
“It’s kind of like the big Conor push. I feel like that’s happening with Jake Paul," Cerrone explained.
"Everyone wants in, and I don’t see why they wouldn’t, that’s a big money fight. You can't take it away from him."
