  • YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul is getting called out by another aging former boxing champion who wants to test his chin.

Jake Paul, known for his YouTube fame and subsequent boxing career, has issued a challenge to former heavyweight boxing champion Larry Holmes, who is now 73 years old. This call-out follows Paul's pattern of targeting older, retired boxers, as seen with his previous fight against 57-year-old Floyd Mayweather. Paul's challenge to Holmes was made via a tweet where he humorously suggested that Holmes, who retired in 2002, could come out of retirement for a bout. This move has sparked discussions about the ethics and entertainment value of such matchups, especially given the significant age and physical condition differences between Paul and his potential opponents.
