Jeremy Stephens calls out Jake Paul for a MMA fight in the PFL

Jake Paul will have no shortage of fighters calling him out as he prepares to make his MMA debut in the PFL this year. It appears that Jeremy Stephens is the latest fighter to call him out.

Stephens took to Twitter to challenge Paul to a fight whenever he makes his PFL debut. The lightweight tagged the promotion in the tweet as well to drum up some interest in what he promises to be fireworks.

He tweeted:

"Excitement starts with giving a true underdog a shot. @jakepaul wants to help fighters, we’ll I been deep in the game knocking mother fuckers out for years and will stand with you giving up size advantage. I don’t give a fuck let’s give them a real banger! @PFLMMA"

'The Problem Child' has yet to respond to 'Lil Heathen's challenge but that hasn't stopped fans from trolling the former UFC fighter. Some fans immediately replied with the famous Conor McGregor GIF from when he responded to Stephens claiming to be the hardest-hitting featherweight in the UFC at the time.

Based on the weight-discrepency, a bout between Stephens and the YouTuber-turned-boxer in the PFL is unlikely, but it doesn't hurt 'Lil Heathen' from issuing the challenge and building interest for his next bout.

It looks like Jake Paul and Tommy Fury will settle the score as they compete in a boxing bout that is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on February 25. One of the biggest developments is that both fighters will be enrolled in drug testing in the leadup to their bout.

According to Ariel Helwani, the VADA testing program will be used to ensure that it is a clean bout. 'The Problem Child' has been accused of taking PEDs by the likes of Paddy Pimblett and UFC President Dana White, so VADA testing could help answer silence his detractors.

Helwani tweeted:

"Jake Paul and Tommy Fury are both enrolled in the @Vada_Testing program for their Feb. 25 fight, per sources. The fight, which has yet to be officially announced, is scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia. (@InsideFighting_first reported the location.)"

It will be interesting to see what transpires during the long awaited bout between 'The Problem Child' and Fury, and whether the result will delay the YouTuber-turned-boxer's plans for his PFL debut.
