When Jake Paul picked Israel Adesanya as the only UFC fighter, he wouldn't fight
Jake Paul is on the up and up in his boxing career. 'The Problem Child' has already clinched notable wins against the likes of UFC legend Anderson Silva, former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and Nate Diaz.
Five of the seven wins of his boxing career have come against former UFC stars. However, there is one UFC star he wouldn't dare to take on in a fight; the two-time middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
During an interview with Sean O'Malley, Paul explained the rationale behind him not wanting to face the Nigerian-born Kiwi.
"Honestly bro, he is like, he is probably the only fighter in the UFC that I wouldn't fight," said Paul. "He is tall as f**k... I think he is probably, arguably, one of the best strikers, top three ever in the history of the sport... He is probably, literally, the only one who I wouldn't [fight]."
