Chris Eubank Jr has laid down a challenge to Jake Paul and insists that he will step in at short notice to save the August 6th pay-per-view show at Madison Square Garden. Paul was meant to fight Hasim Rahman Jr this Saturday night in New York, but the fight has been cancelled and it looks like the show has collapsed.
The professional middleweight and former IBO world super-middleweight champion has challenged Paul to fighting a ‘real’ boxer. It remains to be seen what will happen next for ‘The Problem Child’, but it is doubtful he will take Eubank Jr up on his offer.
Chris Eubank Jr Challenges Jake Paul To Fight
After Jake Paul vs Hasim Rahman Jr was cancelled at the weekend, ‘The Problem Child’ has been left without an opponent. This also means that the whole pay-per-view card from Madison Square Garden has fallen to pieces, with Amanda Serrano scheduled to fight as the co-main event.
However, the event has now been cancelled due to Jake Paul no longer fighting on it, as it seemed he was the one who was selling the tickets and making it a sell-out pay-per-view event.
Despite rumours that Chris Eubank Jr is scheduled to fight Conor Benn before the end of the year, ‘NextGen’ has thrown his name into the hat to fight Jake Paul next, saying that he could beat him with ease and that he can squeeze fighting Jake Paul into his schedule before his fight in a couple months time.
Here is what Eubank Jr had to say to Jake Paul after his fight with Hasim Rahman Jr was cancelled on Saturday night:
Fumbles & Crumbles are not ‘boxers’ they are guys who put gloves on every now & again for clout… no different to you. I’m fighting in a couple months but I can squeeze you into my schedule next week & save your show if you have the heart to get into the ring with a REAL boxer.

What Next For Jake Paul?
The question now is, what is next for Jake Paul? After both f his scheduled opponents for August 6th reportedly had to pull out of the fight (Tommy Fury and then Hasim Rahman Jr), there are lots of questions surrounding Paul and who he will step into the ring with next and when that will be.
Will the Tommy Fury fight get made for the third time and finally happen provided the Englishman gets granted a VISA? Could Paul return to more celebrity boxing and face the winner of KSI vs Alex Wassabi who throw down on August 27th? Will ‘The Problem Child’ fight Conor McGregor in a huge celebrity crossover boxing/UFC fight?
Jake Paul: "Me vs Conor McGregor is a way bigger fight [than Floyd Mayweather rematch]. We've already seen that fight. Me vs Conor's gonna be way more competitive, way more s*** talk, way more entertaining. That's the one everyone really wants." [@DAZNBoxing Show]
