After Paul and his promotion canceled the bout, dos Santos took to social media to call for the bout to happen.
Junior dos Santos calls to box Jake Paul
Jake Paul, Jake Paul, my gosh, man,ā Junior dos Santos said on X. āYou are picking fights again, you are choosing easy fights again. Come on, I thought you moved past this phase of your careers, but looks like I was wrong. I saw you were challening Francis Ngannou for that boxing fight, and looks like itās not interesting for him. I have to give you the credit in a boxing match, I think you would do a good fight against him, he has a lot of power but heās slow, man. Thatās the truth.
āThe thing is, you shouldnāt be looking for easy fights or to take advantage of MMA guys. Letās do this, letās fight, me and you. Letās make this fight happen, I will beat you up. But, donāt worry I will be gentle, I wonāt hurt you, I wonāt knock you out. Iāll beat you up and then Iāll fight Francis Ngannou in a boxing match, and Iāll beat him as well. Letās do this.ā

They trying to kill Jake Paul?!?!?
JDS murders Paul unless itās rigged his other matches
this
Junior dos Santos?
Itās for sure rigged, and heās old enough they can just say āwell, heās a bit older now, so it was going to be harderā when he could probably kill him in the first exchange, but there will be money paid out instead.
Iād bet on Paul heās a decent boxer you guys need to get a grip
JDS would murder him.
Paul is lucky Tyson was injured when they fought.-- because even 58 year old Tyson would knock Paulās dick in the dirt if he was healthy.
cray cray
Isnāt gervonta Davis like 150 pounds?
No one wants to see JDS vs Paul
JDS isnāt a boxer and is old. Why canāt this fag just box boxers his age and weight?
SN mostly checks out
Well because him
Vs a ranked 100 guy wonāt sell.. a top guy will beat him soundly
- Itās not a ppv
- Paul vs a top ten in his weight would draw interest from people who want to see him knocked out
