Paddy Pimblett’s net worth 2025: How “The Baddy” turned swagger, skill, and wins into UFC stardom (Image Via Getty Images) FC star Paddy Pimblett has once again taken aim at Jake Paul. This time, the Liverpool fighter has gone beyond jokes and trolling. Pimblett now believes he could step into a boxing ring and face the YouTuber-turned-boxer himself. His comments come as he prepares for a huge UFC fight against Justin Gaethje. The two are set to headline the UFC’s first event under its new Paramount deal on January 24.While Pimblett remains focused on MMA success, the idea of boxing Paul is clearly tempting. He has already mocked Paul publicly, including suggesting special boxing shoes to help Paul deal with his height disadvantage against Anthony Joshua. Now, Pimblett says a real fight could happen, but only if the financial rewards are big enough to justify it.
Paddy Pimblett says money will decide any Jake Paul boxing bout
Paddy Pimblett has made it clear that he is open to boxing Jake Paul under the right conditions. Speaking to SPORTbible, he explained that he would be interested in the fight, but only if the payment reflected the risk. He said he would happily box Paul, but stressed that the money must be very good and worth his time.Despite the talk, Pimblett insisted that boxing is not his main goal right now. His full focus is on MMA and his upcoming clash with Justin Gaethje. A win there would make him the interim lightweight champion. He said that opportunity comes first and takes priority over everything else. Only after that fight would he consider anything outside the UFC.Pimblett added that if Paul truly wanted the fight and could pay properly, he would accept it without hesitation. He said that if the money was there, he would box Paul on any day of the week. Those comments followed his recent jokes aimed at Paul before the Anthony Joshua fight. Pimblett had mocked Paul for complaining about a five-inch height difference and joked about using a step ladder to close the gap.Pimblett also suggested that Paul prefers controlling fight conditions rather than facing equal opponents. Paul’s recent loss to Anthony Joshua, which left him with a broken jaw and surgery, has raised questions about his boxing future. Still, given Paul’s history of fighting MMA names, a bout with Pimblett remains a real possibility if the price is right.
