EDDIE HEARN was not afraid to speak his mind as he told Jake Paul how he doesn't believe he can be a world champion boxer.
They have teamed up to promote Katie Taylor's undisputed title match with Amanda Serrano.
Jake Paul, undefeated, is trying to win
a world boxing title.
Together, they will embark on a massive media tour, including the UK to promote the historic women's showdown.
Hearn, Matchroom chief, helped promote the YouTuber’s first pro-boxing bout.
Paul went on to record a record of 5-0, which is an unbeaten record. He has also declared his desire for a world title in the ring.
TalkSPORT Breakfast interviewed him: "I was ready for a fight against a professional boxer. I had a poster from Eddie up in my gym that said 'When are you going to face a real fighter?' I look at it before I enter the gym.
"It has been only two years since I made my debut, and I have increased my level of opposition.
"I still have a lot to do because I spar against world champions, and I have a huge chip on my shoulders to prove everyone wrong. I'm going to have fun!"

He replied, "I don’t believe so, but I like proving people wrong and not gonna lie."
"But there are so much great fighters out there, and the problem with Jake is that his wrestling background means he has spent some time in combat.
"But he didn't come from boxing, and it is not disrespectful to Jake. You can't just go to boxing to become the world champion, but Jake will try to prove us wrong."
Paul responded: "I believe boxers are easier fights than MMA fighters because it is more predictable and they don’t hit as hard." They can't take as much punch."
The American spoke out about his desire to be world champion and said that he values sport more than his brother Logan.
After his clash with Tommy Fury, which was scheduled for the same date, he is yet to face a professional boxer in the ring.
He defeated Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren for the second time in 2021. He also spoke of his desire to compete against Canelo Alvarez, pound-for-pound.
