Heavyweight world champion Daniel Dubois has called out Jake Paul after the YouTuber-turned-boxer defeated Mike Tyson on Friday. Paul beat 58-year-old Tyson by unanimous decision at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas, leading to various boxers to offer to be Paul's next opponent. Dubois beat Anthony Joshua in a devastating performance at Wembley in September to claim the IBF heavyweight belt, dropping Joshua to the canvas three times before winning with a knockout in Round 5. With no opponent locked in for his first title defence, Dubois has turned to Paul on social media. "Hi Jake, good business on the weekend but how would you feel fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world this is Daniel Dubois calling you out. Let's get it on," Dubois said. Paul responded on X, saying: "Man been boxing for 12 years, has over 100 fights between amateur and pro and fought on my undercard...hahaha." "But f--- it ... I'm going to have [promoter] Nakisa [Bidarian] talk to [Frank] Warren and get you in line for the throne. Unlike Artur [Beterbiev] at least you have a few thousand fans." Light heavyweight world champion Beterbiev, who beat Dmitry Bivol to become undisputed champion in October, also indicated on social media he would fight Paul. "After four years it's time to have serious challenges. Didn't notice your acceptance or rejection. So what are we gonna do?" Beterviev said to Paul on X.
