Revealed! The Only Two Fighters Jake Paul Is “Afraid” To Challenge And The “Shocking” Reasons Why He Won’t Step Into The Ring With Them
Jake Paul, a name synonymous with YouTube stardom and controversial boxing matches, has never shied away from calling out top fighters. However, there are two names that even Jake Paul finds too daunting to challenge: Oleksandr Usyk and David Benavidez.
In a candid interview with Barstool Sports, Jake Paul confessed, “There is like, some heavyweight. I think Usyk and David Benavidez are probably the only two people. That’s about it.” This revelation has stirred the boxing community, raising questions about why these two fighters stand out.
Oleksandr Usyk, the Ukrainian powerhouse, is renowned for his incredible agility and technical prowess. As a former cruiserweight champion who successfully moved up to heavyweight, Usyk’s skills in the ring are unmatched. His ability to outmaneuver and outthink opponents makes him a formidable adversary, even for the most seasoned fighters.
David Benavidez, on the other hand, is a different kind of beast. As Jake Paul puts it, “David Benavidez is just a monster, man. That non-stop pressure coming forward. You can’t slow him down, and he just throws bombs switching stances.” Benavidez’s relentless aggression and power make him a nightmare in the ring. His ability to maintain pressure and deliver powerful blows from various angles keeps opponents constantly on the defensive.
“I mean, that guy’s a menace. That’s why he’s my favorite fighter. But yeah, I don’t think I’ll match up against those guys,” Paul admits. This admission highlights the sheer respect and acknowledgment of the talent and danger posed by both Usyk and Benavidez.
For Jake Paul, stepping into the ring with these two fighters is a challenge he isn’t ready to accept. Their combination of skill, power, and relentless drive sets them apart in the boxing world. As Paul continues to navigate his boxing career, the names Usyk and Benavidez will remain on the list of fighters he deeply respects but chooses not to confront.
