Jake Paul is really starting to grab the combat sports world by the balls and as a result he’s aiming high when it comes to his revamped boxing bucket list.

Paul, who has transformed from social media star to professional boxer in just a few years, is coming off the biggest win of his career. Earlier this month, Paul fought former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in a short-notice rematch that produced absolute fireworks inside of the boxing ring. Paul ended up knocking out “Chosen One” and turned him into a stiff board with one single punch. It was arguably the best finish in boxing this year (check it out HERE).

Paul is now 5-0 in his professional boxing career and with this most recent stoppage over Woodley his ego is soaring at an all-time high. It’s hard to blame the social media influencer for gaining so much confidence over the past two years considering the results he has had, but things are only going to get tougher for “Problem Child” as he challenges better fighters moving forward.

Earlier this week Paul took to social media to reveal his boxing bucket list for his budding career. Some of these matchups will never work for one reason or another, but it’s still interesting to see who Paul covets most when it comes to his boxing legacy. Check out Paul’s list below:

My boxing bucket list:

1) Canelo Alvarez
2) Floyd Mayweather
3) Mike Tyson
4) Tyson Furry
5) Dana White

Out of all of these matchups the one that would be most interesting and the most likely to happen would be a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. The undefeated boxing legend is coming off a exhibition win over Logan Paul and is always searching for his next massive payday. That is exactly what Paul offers and it would be an easy paycheck for “Money,” who would absolutely wipe the floor with Paul regardless of ruleset.

What say you, Maniacs? Which matchup would peak your interest the most?

Sound off!

Jake Paul put a stamp on his rivalry with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley last night (Sat., Dec. 18, 2021) live on Showtime PPV and FITE.tv from inside Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, as “Problem Child” demolished “Chosen One” with a sixth-round knockout.

Woodley started a little faster than last time but he still had trouble getting inside as Paul kept him at distance with a stiff jab. Paul gained the momentum in Round 2 when he landed a power right. Woodley responded by initiating a lot of tie ups inside and throwing some short body shots.

An accidental elbow in the third round badly cut Paul on his head. Woodley took advantage of the bloody moment to rush the social media star with a combination that put Paul on his heels. Woodley ended up taking Paul down in the fourth and was warned by the referee that he’d take a point if it happened again.

Both fighters were exhausted in the later frames, often tying up without a single punch being thrown. That was until the sixth round when Paul landed a ridiculous overhand right that stiffened “Chosen One” like a plank. Woodley crashed to the canvas and the fight was over.

This will was the second time Paul and Woodley are meeting inside of the boxing ring.

Paul was expected to take on Tommy Fury tonight on PPV before an injury knocked him out of action and “Chosen One” stepped in.

Former NBA all-star, Deron Williams, outlasted the NFL’s No. 3 all-time rushing leader, Frank Gore, earlier tonight (Sat., Dec. 18, 2021) live on Showtime PPV and FITE.tv from inside Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The two world-class athletes met in an exciting four-round exhibition boxing match.

Williams looks real technical in the early going as he defended nicely, countered with quick combinations, and launched crisp right hands from range. Gore showed a nice jab, but he struggled to get inside to land his power shots.

The second round saw Gore land a huge right hand that wobbled Williams. The former NBA star was able to recover and rushed Gore with a wild combination. Gore was on his heels and Williams pushed him through the ropes and tried to land a punch while Gore was on the ground. The referee stopped the action and when it continued Gore rushed Williams and ended up pushing him through the ropes.

Both athletes tired in the third round as more shenanigans occurred along the ropes. Williams was the aggressor and landed the better shots, but Gore was hanging in. Gore landed a nice right in the fourth and final frame as he needed something to gain some momentum back. Williams was hard to hurt as the former NBA all-star countered with dirty boxing inside and kept pushing forward. In the end, it was Williams who walked away with the split decision win.

Derrick Lewis became the UFC’s all-time knockout leader earlier tonight (Sat., Dec. 18, 2021) at UFC Vegas 45 live on ESPN+ from inside UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, when “Black Beast” flattened surging heavyweight contender Chris Daukaus with a first-round finish in their main event.

Daukaus used his speed and footwork to hit Lewis with leg kicks in the early going. Lewis kept his composure and waited for his window of opportunity. It came. “Black Beast” launched a flurry of punches that hurt Daukaus along the cage. Daukaus somehow recovered, but Lewis leveled him with three brutal right hands that slept Daukaus.

It was a big performance by Lewis, who was coming off a TKO loss to Ciryl Gane back in April. The knockout finish is the 13th of Lewis’ career and now leaves him as the sole owner of the UFC’s all-time knockout record.
