Paul bets he’d thrive in the NFL while doubling down on boxing bravado
Jake Paul claims boxing is harder than football and that he could join the NFL at 29, even catching a touchdown with zero training, on The Pivot Podcast. UFC/MMA figure Josh Hokit replied that he’d beat Paul in any sport, prompting Paul to fire back with trash talk and an invite to box in Puerto Rico. The piece notes Paul’s 12-2 boxing record (losses to Tommy Fury and Anthony Joshua, the latter breaking his jaw), and mentions plans for a boxing return before year’s end and a 2027 MMA debut.
