Jake Paul ACCEPTS fight with boxing world champion and 'leaks' DMs confirming call out
Jake Paul has seemingly accepted a call out from a boxing world champion after exposing their private messages on social media.
Last weekend, Paul eased to a points victory over boxing legend Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The three judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73 in favour of the 27-year-old.

Speaking after the fight, Paul said: "I've been in this sport for four years, I've been so active. If people want to see more then give me a couple more months. I'm going to accomplish more.
"It can happen in the next 24 months, I believe I can become a world champion within six years of learning how to throw a f***ing jab. It'll be the greatest sports story ever. The cruiserweight division is pretty open."
On Tuesday morning, the former YouTube and Disney sensation posted a screenshot of his conversation with heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois.
In the picture posted on X, Dubois' message to Paul read: "Hi Jake. Good business on the weekend but how would you feel fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world. This is Daniel Dubois calling you out, let's get it on." To which Paul replied with: "Get in line."
However, when posting on X, Paul wrote as his caption: "Man been boxing for 12 years, has over 100 fights between amateur and pro and fought on my undercard…hahaha
"But f**k it…I’m going to have Nakisa talk to Frankie Warren and get you in line for the throne. Unlike Artur, at least you have a few thousand fans."
Dubois is currently the heavyweight champion of the International Boxing Federation, a title he has held since Oleksandr Usyk vacated the belt in June.
In September this year, Dubois held on to the IBF belt after beating fellow Brit Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium.
