Jake Paul has been on top of the world since knocking out Ben Askren. However, he is still bullish about who he could fight next. UFC lightweight Dustin Poirier suggested fellow UFC man Mike Perry would be an interesting next foe for the YouTuber. Paul responded with an insult aimed towards ‘Platinum.’
He tweeted, “He was light work. In his own words “you kicked my ass.” I want to see Jake Paul vs. Dustin Prober.”

Mike wasn’t going to let the insult slide. He shared a video clip from his sparring session against Paul and claimed that even though he got clipped a few times, he was the more aggressive boxer. He said that even though he initially respected Paul after their sparring session, he now considers him a spoilt brat.

J’Leon Love shot to fame overnight after he got involved with Tyron Woodley. His utter disrespect for the 5 times world champion brought him to the limelight. Many fighters offered to shut him down, Mike Perry also tweeted, “Let me fight @JLeonLove.”
In response to this tweet, Love replied, “Mike please bro I watched Jake beat the shit out of you. Please don’t do that to yourself. Suicide. Trust me, bro. I like you at that. I met your family and all don’t do that to yourself kid.”

Perry, aka “Platinum”, sparred with Paul in the build-up to his fight with Askren. However, any chances of a fight between Perry and Paul are all but void. While Perry’s future in the UFC appears uncertain, he lacks the social media following to attract enough attention. It appears Paul is already exploring other options regarding a potential fight with Poirier and Tommy Fury.
Cormier is yet to respond to the callout. However, if he agrees to fight Paul, fans will look forward to the bout because DC is not just a wrestler, he is a legend. Till then, keep guessing who would this surprising young boxer take on next.
