This time he went a step further, moving from talk of a potential boxing clash with Price to suggesting he could also make an impact in darts. \u201cYeah I wouldn\u2019t want to embarrass him, but I\u2019m thinking of coming in and just taking over the game\u2026 I\u2019m a hunter and I have perfect aim,\u201d Paul said in conversation with Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>It is not the first time the American has inserted himself into elite sport outside his own discipline.

He has previously floated the idea of a crossover clash with Gerwyn Price, which prompted a firm response from the former world champion. \u201cHe\u2019s a YouTuber, not a fighter, right?\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/dartsnews.com\/pdc\/gerwyn-price-jokes-about-boxing-match-with-jake-paul-one-punch-and-it-would-be-all-over\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Price said at the time<\/a>, dismissing the suggestion outright.<\/p>\n<p>Price also revealed that Paul later contacted him privately following those remarks, adding another layer to their brief exchange.<\/p>\n<p>That history provides some context, but Paul\u2019s latest suggestion that he could step into darts and \u201ctake over\u201d moves the conversation in a different direction.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/gerwyn-price-2-69d3684067473.JPG@webp.webp\" class=\"w-auto h-auto\" alt=\"Gerwyn Price in action during the Premier League Darts\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Gerwyn Price captured one world title in his career<\/p>\n<p>Comments spark reaction<\/p>\n<p>For now, there is no indication that anything concrete will come from Paul\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n<p>As with many of his previous callouts, the comments are far more likely to generate attention and reaction than lead to any serious crossover into the sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"American influencer and boxer Jake Paul, who has shared the ring with the likes of Mike Tyson and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,129224,180863,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-519119","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-gerwyn-price","10":"tag-pdc","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
