Knock, Knock. Who’s there? Trouble. Trouble who? Jake Paul. After a recent dig, he made yesterday, the response has arrived for Floyd Mayweather. Yesterday while on ‘The Tonight Show’ starring Jimmy Fallon, Mayweather seemingly brushed off the success of the blockbuster Jake Paul–Mike Tyson fight as nothing worth singing praises on. The series of remarks has now invited the wrath of the Problem Child who took the opportunity to slam the former five-division champion.
While on the Tonight Show, Mayweather was just trying to be honest, the remark must have rubbed Jake Paul the wrong way. “When you are watching boxing for free, you can have millions and millions and hundreds of millions of views. I did pay-per-view numbers. Check the records,” Mayweather had stated. The snide remark, it seems, may have started a new feud in boxing because Jake Paul today decided to fire back with a sharp retort.
Jake Paul promises to knock out Floyd Mayweather
The Problem Child took to his ‘X’ and replied to the viral clip posted by ‘Happy Punch’ from the NBC show. He exclaimed, “You bum. Deji gave you a black eye in an event that had 4,000 people in it. Deji hahahah,” referring to the exhibition fight between Floyd Mayweather and the British YouTuber Deji Olatunji back in 2022. While the legend stopped the fight in the sixth round, he indeed left the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai with a black eye. Furthermore, it was definitely one of Money’s rare misses as it reportedly only did 20,000 PPV buys.
You bum. Deji gave you a black eye in an event that had 4,000 people in it. Deji hahahah. I would knock you out in 2 rounds and you can’t sniff Mike Tyson’s toe. https://t.co/j1pTQwOxNW

The self-proclaimed El-Gallo was not done as he continued, “I would knock you out in 2 rounds.” Jake Paul even decided to reply to Mayweather’s cheeky dig against Mike Tyson, claiming that Mayweather, “can’t sniff Mike Tyson’s toe.” Well, the Mayweather-Tyson is a debate that has divided the boxing community for years now. However, if we are using Deji Olatunji as a benchmark, the Londoner did leave Jake Paul with a bloodied nose – a feat that even Deji takes immense pride in. So, it looks like the scales are quite even if this fight ever happens.
What do you think? Can Jake Paul deliver on his knockout promise this time? Or, as Floyd Mayweather said on the show, the fight would be “too easy”? Let us know your thoughts down below.
