Anthony Pettis believes he possesses the skill set necessary to defeat Jake Paul in a boxing match.
Pettis may have the opportunity to take on Jake Paul following the announcement that the YouTube sensation has recently signed a deal to compete under the Professional Fighters League banner.
Paul currently is undefeated as a boxer holding a professional record of 6-0. The YouTube star’s most recent outing saw him defeat former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva in October 2022.
Despite now appearing to make the transition to compete in MMA, Anthony Pettis revealed in an interview with InsideFighting that should the opportunity ever arise to box Jake Paul he is extremely confident in getting his hand raised.
‘I’ve been boxing professional boxers since way back when I was a champion in 2015 so I’ve actually spared against professionals. I’m not talking s**t but guys like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley they come from a wrestling background where their transition to boxing is brand new. Yeah, they’re strikers and they are knocking guys out in MMA, but they don’t know the science of how to do an 8-round fight. They’ve never been in there and felt that fire of how to stick to the science of boxing. I’m confident in myself.’
Pettis did go on to credit the skillset that Jake Paul has acquired since he began his journey into boxing but still remains confident that should the two ever meet, he could and would knock him out.
‘I’m looking for the knockout obviously, but Jake Paul’s boxing skills are good bro. I think he’s exploited an area of MMA, but he got the right guys to box against. He’s making his name in there and he’s definitely got boxing skills but I for sure have way more years of sparring and boxing against real professionals than he does.’

Paul launched his career in boxing in 2020 and has not turned back from fighting since then. In 2021, Paul was victorious over Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley twice in boxing, to most of the combat sports world’s surprise.

In stunning news, Jake Paul will venture into the realm of MMA, officially signing a deal with the PFL to fight under their banner. It has been reported that Paul has offered Nate Diaz a two-fight contract; one boxing match and one MMA. Despite Paul’s sights being set on Diaz, another competitor would like a piece of ‘The Problem Child’.
Upon hearing the news of Jake’s entrance into MMA, Anthony Pettis wasted no time in throwing his name into the hat of possible opponents for Paul. Pettis took to Twitter to show his desire for a fight with Paul, hoping to “welcome him to MMA’s league.”
Welcome to the PFL @jakepaul

Former undisputed UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov has admitted there are three opponents that come to mind that he wishes he had shared the Octagon with during his time with the promotion, including former duel-weight titleholder, Georges St-Pierre, and scheduled foe, Tony Ferguson.
Khabib, a former undisputed lightweight champion under the UFC banner, called time on his professional mixed martial arts career back in October 2020 in Abu Dhabi, UAE – defeating former interim titleholder, Justin Gaethje with a second round triangle to successfully unify the division championships.
In the time since, Khabib has been linked with a slew of potential fights to snap a retirement, however, has insisted he will not return to the Octagon, after promising his mother to never make a professional walk following the loss of his coach and father, Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov.
Admitting there are three opponents he wished he had of fought before calling time on his professional career, Khabib weighed up a fight with long-time rival, former interim gold holder, Ferguson.
“Of course, it was Tony Ferguson for sure,” Khabib Nurmagomedov said during an interview with Class A Events. “But this has never happened.”
“In my mind? Yes, it was couple fighters – it was couple fighters for sure,” Khabib Nurmagomedov explained. “OK, GSP (Georges St-Pierre), if you want – but I respect this guy a lot. I grew up with his fights. When he became UFC champion in 2007, I (hadn’t started) my professional career. I was an amateur fighter and watched a lot of his fights with my father. GSP was like a role model in MMA for me. If you guys want (that) fight, OK – let’s say GSP.”
As for Khabib’s third choice of opponent, he picked former UFC and WEC lightweight champion, Anthony Pettis, who was previously linked briefly with a 2019 fight against the Dagestan native.
“And I think it was 2014-15 when Anthony Pettis was UFC champion,” Khabib Nurmagomedov explained. “(At) that time, I really, really wanted to fight this guy, but then he lost his title vsd. Rafael dos Anjos. After that his career go down – he never came back. It was Anthony Pettis, Tony Ferguson, and Canadian superstar GSP.” (Transcribed by Yahoo! Finance)
