See why Jake Paul wants to fight Floyd Mayweather.
American social media personality and professional boxer Jake Paul has issued a surprise call-out for his next fight.
Paul has stated intentions to take on American boxing promoter and former professional boxer Floyd Joy Mayweather Jr.
According to several sources, Paul and Mayweather came face-to-face following the conclusion of an NBA game involving the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Paul claims Mayweather and a group of men confronted him after the game while he only came to the arena with one security guard.
While Mayweather's men were coming up to him, Paul made a run away before it got messy.
Since his brother Logan took on Mayweather in an exhibition match Paul has been at odds with the legendary boxer.
Paul took to his official social media platforms to give his perspective on the confrontation with Mayweather.
On Instagram, he said, "So I'm leaving the Miami Heat game and Floyd Mayweather and 50 dudes pull up out of nowhere, out of like some side alley, waiting for me outside the stadium, and they're like, 'So what's up? what's all that talk now?.
"I'm like first of all, what did I say to you Floyd? I just took your hat and you're still mad about it? Come on, bro. And then 50 dudes literally start surrounding me to jump me, and I'm out that bitch, ok?"
Paul challenges Mayweather
Paul has now taken to his official Twitter account to propose a fight in the ring against Mayweather.
He said, "Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his “exhibitions”. Now he ambushes me 🤣. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bullshit.
"Floyd if you want to fight 1 on 1 we can do that but don’t try to hop out of 3 cars 25 dudes deep tryna to jump me while I’m tryna enjoy my Wednesday night."
Paul’s challenge to Mayweather comes after he suffered a loss to British professional boxer and reality television personality Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.
Paul has suggested an immediate rematch against Fury but the challenge to Mayweather is now reportedly being set to the forefront.
