Jake Paul is sure he saved boxing
It is not clear exactly where Paul will be placed in the Council rankings. It will probably be in the heavyweight category (up to 90.7 kg).
Jake Paul decided on his preferred opponent last night. So what is it, Beterbiev or Bivol? The YouTuber’s current rival himself claims that he was forbidden to knock out Jake Paul.
