After being bombarded with messages pleading for him to be humbled, CHEAVON CLARKE is available to take calls from fans and fight Jake Paul.
The Tokyo Olympian was sleeping when Paul, a YouTuber turned boxer, told Eddie Hearn that he would beat any prospect with less than ten fights.
Hearn said that he believed he would beat anyone on your roster with less than ten fights. Anyone.
"Anyone of your fighters who has had less than ten fights is eligible." Any weight
Hearn offered Clarke to him, who had only one professional bout but was an elite amateur before.
Clarke accepted the challenge, and his inboxes filled up with fans on social media pleading for him to take down the social media sensation.

SunSport was informed by him that he had tried to respond to every person who attempted to message me but gave up.
It's like, "Please take this Jake Paul fight". One of them said, "Do us a favor and take him down two pegs."
"Another guy said, "Don't even knock he out, just play along with him."
Paul has only had five pro fights, all with four knockouts. He is yet to face a recognized boxer.

Paul is now ready to address critics who have criticized his boxing career.
Clarke, 31 years old, said that Clarke had been training and we must show him respect.
"And by fighting someone similar to myself, we'll be able to see what he has learned, won't you?"
"He has two eyes, two hands and two legs just like me, so it's fair. He's been training, so technically we don't know what he has learned.
"We have to give him a fair chance at the whip."
Paul, 25 years old, is expected to return to the arena on August 13, following talks with Tommy Fury (22), who pulled out of their December celebrity bout.
Clarke will fight next Saturday undercard by Joshua Buatsi (29), who headlines against Craig Richards (29).
Buatsi was a standout from the Rio Olympics 2016 cycle and is on the verge of winning the world title.
Lawrence Okolie (former Team GB training partner), won gold after only 16 bouts at cruiserweight.
Clarke is not one to be rushed, nor to be compared with other Olympic alumni. He chooses to follow his own path and not to copy others.
He stated, "I want the pace that's right to me."

People talk about being fast-tracked and other things. I don't know all that much, so I just accept the fights as they come.
"I know I don't worry about anyone on the scene, and I'll fight anyone, Eddie just has to line them up, and I'll take out them."
