Of course, because everybody needs Jake Paul in boxing right now, he could say these things unchallenged, just as he can punch unchallenged and make callouts unchallenged. It is his world, this world he has built, and within the borders of this world everything makes sense and appears absurd only to those outside it. Within its four walls, Jake Paul is an actual boxer who impressively beats boxers and will later this year perhaps even fight a world champion. There is talk of Gilberto Ramirez, the WBA and WBO cruiserweight champion, for example. There is also talk of Badou Jack, who holds the WBC belt. Both men are seemingly on Jake Paul’s radar and both, based on the attention and money it would generate, would no doubt accommodate him and agree to a fight. The sanctioning bodies, they wouldn’t be a problem. They have already taken turns to twerk for Paul and with most of them run by sycophants or attention-seekers it wasn’t long before they revealed their desire to get Paul ranked and become involved in his ecosystem. Get Paul ranked, you see, and a world-title shot can actually happen; yes, even without him fighting a single ranked contender. Get Paul ranked and there is money for everybody.
