Mayweather points to Paul ‘problem’ after YouTube star calls out TBE

Floyd Mayweather has responded to Jake Paul calling him out. TBE dismissed the challenge by pointing to The Problem Child’s next ‘problem’ Tommy Fury.Mayweather faces British YouTube star Deji Olatunji in his latest exhibition contest on November 13 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Since retiring from professional boxing in 2017, Mayweather has continued fighting in showcase bouts across the world including an eight-rounder last year against Jake’s older brother Logan.During the build-up to that fight, Jake grabbed the headlines after snatching Mayweather’s hat in a heated altercation at a pre-fight press event. Mayweather retaliated by striking the YouTuber with his bare fist and there has been bad blood ever since.In a recent call out, Jake claimed that Mayweather is ‘too scared’ to face him and is adamant he will ruin his perfect 50-0 record if they ever do battle in the ring. When asked about Jake’s words during a recent press conference ahead of the Deji fight, Mayweather said: ‘Jake Paul got problems right here (points to Tommy Fury), he talks a lot of things I’m not sure he means. Floyd Mayweather believes Jake Paul should focus on his next ‘problem’ Tommy Fury (Image: GETTY)’He is doing good for what he is doing. It is what it is he is a lot of talk. It is different when you are at the highest level, once you get in there against a real fighter it will be over for him. Of course, he wants to fight me I am 50 years old.’Paul is expected to be in attendance for Mayweather vs Deji with a third attempt at making the Fury fight a real possibility for his next bout.
