Boxing heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has a clear message for Jake Paul amid a callout for an MMA bout.<\/p>\n
Usyk hasn\u2019t retired from the sweet science just yet, but the 38-year-old knows that father time is an enemy to everyone. The king of the heavyweight division has teased taking part in some special attractions once his pro boxing career is over. Could one of those attractions be an MMA showdown with \u201cThe Problem Child?\u201d<\/p>\n
Recently, Paul posted a video where he laid out a five-year plan. One of his plans is to not only meet Usyk inside the cage, but to defeat him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just finished my Jake Paul 2030 five-year plan,\u201d Paul said. \u201cBecome world champion, become a billionaire \u2026 beat Usyk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Usyk caught wind of Paul\u2019s plan and he responded<\/a> by accepting a future MMA bout.<\/p>\n \u201cGood plan, @jakepaul . But I\u2019m not here for 5th place \u2014 only first. Soon, I\u2019ll close the book on boxing, and after that, I\u2019ll be waiting for you in the cage. Let\u2019s see if you\u2019ve got the balls or just a hunger for hype.\u201d<\/p>\n Many are wondering what Usyk\u2019s next fight will be. He has been on the sidelines due to an injury, but the WBO has requested updated medicals after Usyk was seen dancing on stage. Many argue Joseph Parker should be next in line to challenge for Usyk\u2019s titles. Parker is set to meet Fabio Wardley on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n As for Paul, he is scheduled to face Gervonta \u201cTank\u201d Davis in an exhibition match<\/a> on Nov. 14. The bout will be contested at 195 pounds and is scheduled for 10 rounds. There will be three judges scoring the exhibition at ringside. Paul vs. Davis will be streamed live on Netflix. Things got testy between \u201cThe Problem Child\u201d and \u201cTank\u201d during the first press conference<\/a> hyping up the exhibition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boxing heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has a clear message for Jake Paul amid a callout for an MMA…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-166772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
