Paul is looking to make a big impact in the boxing world, and he’s recently laid down the challenge to Pimblett regarding the opportunity of sparring.
Pimblett is open to the chance and has even gone as far as saying that Paul’s fights could be fixed.
“Jake Paul is actually not that bad now, even though I think his fights are fixed,” said Pimblett when speaking on The Pub Talk podcast.
“I don’t think the Tyron Woodley knockout was fixed because when you get knocked out like that and you land face first, if you’re not unconscious you’re going [puts arms out]. You can’t help it that’s a human reaction.
“I have seen an angle of a punch he hit Anderson Silva with the other day when he sat down, and he didn’t even hit him.”
