Jake Paul wasted no time in firing back at Khamzat Chimaev after he claimed he could 'smash' the Paul brothers on the same night.

Chimaev made a triumphant return to the Octagon, submitting Li Jingliang in the first round of their welterweight bout at UFC 267 last month.
'Borz' emphatically reintroduced himself to the MMA world following a lengthy period away from the sport as he battled Covid-19.
The hype for the 27-year-old is through the roof and he's capitalising on the fame by calling out 'The Problem Child' on social media.
On Twitter, he posted a picture of himself next to the Paul brothers, accompanied with the caption: "I can smash this guys same night BOXING."

Well, Paul swiftly responded in ruthless fashion as he continued his attack on UFC fighter pay.
He tweeted: "Listen Kumquat... you are just another UFC fighter pretending you can box. Sit down, shut up and pray you get paid fairly."
