IShowSpeed could earn $20M for beating Jake Paul in boxing match
YouTube star IShowSpeed has stirred excitement in the boxing world by claiming he could defeat Jake Paul after the latter's victory over Mike Tyson on November 15.
Speaking at ComplexCon, Speed confidently critiqued Paul’s boxing technique, stating, “I feel like I can beat Jake Paul in a fight... If I have six months of training, I’m beating any boxer in this world.”
In response, Paul’s manager, Nakisa Bidarian, allegedly offered $20 million if Speed could back up his words in the ring. The offer includes a $10 million upfront payment and a $10 million bonus if Speed secures a win. Fans have shared mixed reactions, with some dismissing Speed’s claims as delusional while others speculate on the potential fight’s outcome.
Paul himself reportedly downplayed the challenge, saying, “Speed knows better.” The possibility of a match has sparked online debates, adding to Speed’s recent ventures, including a race against Olympic runner Noah Lyles earlier this month.
