Jake Paul Earns Darren Till’s Respect, Hints at Mega Pay-Per-View Fight

Till entered the Misfits/crossover boxing world with a dominant sixth-round stoppage win over Anthony Taylor on January 18, and returns on the upcoming KSI-Danis undercard against Stewart. When speaking to Genting Casino, “The Gorilla” was asked about the ability of Jake Paul, and said:

“I think Jake is a legitimate boxer. I think he puts real work, real hours in. He’s got a fully functional 24-hour team at hand because he’s got the money, obviously, to have this. So Jake’s a pro boxer now. Obviously, every fight I see him, he gets better. He improves. [He’s] a little bit slow, you can still see he lacks in certain areas. But by no means is he an influencer boxer  that everyone was saying. For me, he’s a proper, proper boxer.

“He’s on my radar–am I on his?  Who knows? He’s the big guy, I’m the little guy. He’s the big guy. As funny as it soundsas I’m from the UFC [but] he’s the big guy, I’m the little guy. I know what’s what. If you put an orange in front of me, it’san orange. I just know that Jake Paul’s the big guy, I’m the little guy. I’m not gonna sit here and go, I’m Darren Till from the UFC. He’s the big guy. I’m the little guy. So call it for what it is.

“That [me v Jake Paul] would be a mega pay-per-view. Not in America, in England, especially bringing in the whole Logan, Jake, KSI, me.”

Whether Jake Paul-Till happens remains to be seen, but if the fight can be made, it would be a test for Till, who showed against Taylor, that he picks his shots well and can finish an opponent when they are in trouble.
