Jake Paul Called Out By BKFC Champion To Bareknuckle Fight

Jake Paul has been called out to a BAREKNUCKLE fight by a BKFC champion, who used to fight in Bellator and the UFC.

Paul, 24, has his next fight on deck in the shape of a boxing bout against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

But that assignment against Woodley hasn't stopped Hector Lombard from calling out the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

Lombard, who was a title holder in Bellator and fought under the UFC banner, has thrown down the gauntlet to 'The Problem Child'.

On Instagram, he shared a mock poster of a potential Paul vs. Lombard bout, accompanied with the caption: "We do it at @bareknucklefc or we do it in a boxing match @jakepaul??

"I know you wanna make it happen the question is where do you want to do it??

"I know you want to do it in a boxing match.. but do you have the balls to do it at BareknuckleFC???"

The veteran fighter, 43, added: "Where would you guys like to see it??? Everyone tag #jakepaul."

Paul improved his professional boxing record to 3-0 following his knockout victory over Ben Askren last April.

He reckons the 'world would be so happy' if he and his brother lost inside the boxing ring.

He said: "Imagine if one of us gets knocked out, the world would be so happy.

"The Earth will smile, that's what people want.

"They want to see it happen because they don't wanna respect us as 'boxers'."
