‘He’s Useless, He’s a Bully’: Retired World Champion Rips Into Jake Paul
‘He’s Useless, He’s a Bully’: Retired World Champion Rips Into Jake Paul
On Saturday, July 20, Jake Paul (10-1, 7 KOs) dominated Mike Perry (0-2, 0 KOs in boxing) at the Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay, Florida, live on DAZN pay-per-view. Paul dropped the bare-knuckle boxing star three times en route to a sixth-round TKO victory. “The Problem Child” dominated throughout, controlling the distance, and landing heavy shots almost at will. Following this win, the retired super middleweight champion Carl Froch has ripped into Paul and how he selects his opponents.

‘He’s Useless, He’s a Bully’ Froch Has His Say on Jake Paul
Paul had no problems defeating Mike “Platinum” Perry, and in doing so looked considerably heavier than his opponent after rehydrating, seemingly infuriating Froch: “Jake Paul at around 14 stone has a 2 or 3 stone weight advantage on these guys, it’s a mismatch, it’s not fair, it’s an unfair advantage. He’s that much of a b**ch. Why didn’t he fight somebody his own f**king size?”

Froch continued to criticise Paul: “Then because he can’t stand what I say about him, the truth, he pretends he doesn’t know who I am. He can’t be quoted as saying Carl Froch should fight Anderson Silva, then I’ll fight him. Carl Froch needs to prove himself. Carl Froch is just jealous. Carl Froch has got no money. And then all of a sudden, who’s Carl Froch? Is he part of team Tommy Fury? He’s useless, he’s a bully, and he’s got a massive weight advantage over everybody he takes on.”
What’s Next for Jake Paul?
Jake Paul is scheduled to be back in the ring on November 15, when he takes on Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, live on Netflix. “Iron Mike” had to postpone the original fight for July 20, after suffering a medical episode during a cross-country Miami to Los Angeles flight due to what his spokesperson described as an “ulcer flare-up.”
