JAKE PAUL has called out Floyd Mayweather for a “massive”; catchweight fight – just over a year after his brother’s showdown with the boxing great.
The YouTuber turned boxer’s older brother – Logan – went the distance with the former five-weight world champion last June, much to the surprise of many.
Jake, however, ended up trading blows with Mayweather and his bodyguards before his brother at a pre-fight press conference.
And he’d like to settle the score with Money once and for all, telling MMA Fighting: “It would be interesting, still, to actually fight Floyd, though, in an actual professional bout.”;
Jake, 25, reckons the grudge match would do big business if Mayweather came out of professional retirement to take the bout.
He continued: “First of all, that’s still a big fight and still a massive, massive draw.
“And if it was an actual pro match, I think people would be super, super interested.”;
Despite the huge weight and age discrepancy between the pair, Jake is confident the bout would be sanctioned.
The former Disney star said: “He fought my brother and Logan was weighing 190lbs.
“I could get to 175lbs and Floyd could weigh 165lb and a commission would approve that.”;

Mayweather, 45, never came close to tasting defeat in his professional career – which he closed out in August 2017 with a tenth-round TKO victory over UFC star Conor McGregor.
But Jake firmly believes he has what it takes to put the first blemish on the legend’s record.
He said: “I just know that I would win. i would love to take his O.
“And it would be a massive fight as far as pay-per-views are concerned.”;
Mayweather, 45, is currently gearing up for an exhibition bout with YouTube star Deji.
Jake, meanwhile, won’t fight until next year following his decision victory over UFC great Anderson Silva late last month.
