Jake Paul, the media influencer wey turn boxer, don reportedly decide to return to the ring again, just six months after Anthony Joshua destroy im jaw. According to reports, Paul dey consider fighting again, even though e take serious beating from Joshua for December.
Paul, wey be talented rising promoter, don do well for women boxing and even arrange Ronda Rousey versus Gina Carano for Netflix. But despite all these options, e still want to fight again. E get determination, but many people dey wonder why e go want to risk another beating.
Paul business partner don hint say Paul fit fight MMA great Francis Ngannou or former world champion Tyson Fury. If e fight Ngannou, Paul go give up weight advantage while Ngannou go give up ring experience. For Fury, e be different ball game. Fury tall like Joshua and very skilled. Even though Ngannou nearly beat Fury, Fury go learn from that experience and come well prepared.
The main concern na say Paul take real punishment from Joshua. Person no fit take too many of those kind shots. Fury and Ngannou punches no go undo the damage wey Paul receive from Joshua fight. Paul still need time for im jaw to heal, so e no fit just rush back into the ring.
Of course, all these declarations fit just be hype to keep Paul for public eye. E get way to go before im jaw heal. But if Paul dey seriously think about fighting top opposition, e need to tink well well before signing any contract.
Novelty fights don become common, and even top fighters like Oleksandr Usyk almost lose to a kickboxer with just one boxing match. Established fighters better take novelty fights seriously, because any underdog fit cause upset. Paul don do well for novelty fight business, make am plenty money. E no be bad fighter, but e no be championship material.
Boxing fit be like siren song, wey dey lure intelligent men and women towards easy high profile payday. Paul don learn the price once. One wonder why e go want to pay again.
