Daniel Dubois called out Jake Paul for a free title shot for his IBF heavyweight belt. This would be a huge fight if the International Boxing Federation sanctions it for its belt.
If that happens, it would be excellent publicity for Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs), the promotional company he works for, and, of course, Jake. Most Valuable Promotions revealed the appeal from Dubois to Jake on social media today, and it has created a lot of fan interest in this matchup.
Fans giving pain to Dubois
Dubois is getting a lot of flak from fans on social media for calling him Jake Paul, but it’s a smart career move for him. Jake is possibly the No. 2 star in boxing right now, possibly even a No. 1, and the money Dubois could make fighting him would be huge.
The fight would make Dubois a bigger star, and he could benefit from the popularity of fights against Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
If the IBF gives the green light to the Jake-Dubois title match, it would be up to Jake (11-1, 7 KOs) if he wants to go through with it because it’s a big step up from the kind of opposition that he is. fought during his four-year career.
Last Friday, November 15, Jake defeated former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson by unanimous decision in the eighth round in front of a crowd of over 70,000 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Former heavyweight champion Tyson, 58, was no match for Paul’s youth, but he tried, and it was interesting to watch to see if he could land one of his big shots to save him.
Paul vs. Tyson Punch Stats
– Jake: 78 of 278 shots for a 28% connection rate.

Dubois (22-2, 21 KOs) is coming off a career fifth-round knockout victory over former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on Sept. 21.
The Jake Paul fight could also be the biggest fight in the world for the 27-year-old Dubois, because the young influencer has a colossal following on social media and is a much better marketer for his fights than Joshua, who can just speak
