Eddie Hearn recently FaceTimed Cheavon Clarke after Jake Paul agreed to fight the former Olympian in boxing.
Paul and Hearn recently sat down for a face-to-face chat ahead of the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano fight. 'The Problem Child' claimed he'd beat any of Hearn's fighters who have experience of less than 10 fights. The promoter asked if the YouTuber turned boxer is ready to take on Olympian Cheavon Clarke:
"He's finally said that he will fight any of my fighters under 10-0. I've said earlier, we have an Olympian [Cheavon] Clarke, he's 1-0, cruiserweight. I've got 100 guys."
When asked by host Ariel Helwani if he would accept the challenge, Paul replied in the affirmative.

Hearn later FaceTimed Clarke and asked the boxer if he's ready for a clash against 'The Problem Child'. The Jamaica-born Brit replied by saying that he was born ready.
Hearn went on to say that he is looking at a potential date of May 21 at the O2 Arena:
"Mate, I hope you're ready. He was like any fighter under 10 fights, who you've got at cruiserweight? Chev Clark... I think it's good for your profile. Also, I am glad you'd take the fight, because I was worried you wouldn't... I'll see if he's ready for May 21 at the O2."
The Matchroom boss added that he would check with Paul to see if he is a man of his word and will fight a genuine Olympic-level boxer.

Who will Jake Paul fight next?
Paul currently has an undefeated professional boxing record of 5-0. In his last fight, he earned a vicious knockout in a rematch against former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. 'The Problem Child' won a decision in their first fight.
A rescheduled bout between Paul and Tommy Fury was hinted for a while. While that hasn't materialized so far, it seems like the Cleveland native may finally have an opponent to fight.
If a bout between Paul and Cheavon Clarke is made next, it will be the first time that the 25-year-old will be facing a genuine boxer inside the ring.
