UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman has said he is ready to take on Jake Paul. Upon speaking to TMZ Sports just two days after his brutal knockout victory against Jorge Masvidal, Kamaru Usman said no one in the UFC has shown any intent to fight him.
However, the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ said he would gladly take on YouTube star turned boxer Jake Paul.

Upon hearing the callout from Usman, Jake Paul instantly took to his Twitter account to accept the challenge. Being critical of Usman needing Dana White’s permission to fight him at a boxing event, Paul said:
Jake Paul pulls a fast one on champion Kamaru Usman
Although Kamaru Usman was the one to initially issue a callout to Jake Paul, the welterweight champion seemed to have vaguely pulled out of the internet beef. Not expecting Jake Paul to dig deep into his personal life, Usman was subjected to yet another troll by the internet sensation.
Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz listed his own opinion on the matter by issuing a warning to Jake Paul. Posting a picture of Kamaru Usman’s daughter in a sarcastic sense is considered by many to be unwise, and therefore, Abdelaziz said:
Do you think a mega pay-per-view exhibition between Usman and Jake Paul could be on the cards? If so, in what discipline do you see it happening? With Daniel Cormier saying that Paul must now earn his respect in the famed UFC octagon, is an MMA bout a possibility as well?
