Boxing Fight: While Jake Paul was leaving an NBA game, Floyd Mayweather and his crew attacked him. Since then, the social media celebrity has challenged Mayweather to a “one on one” fight.
Jake Paul, who abruptly walked away from a confrontation with the heavyweight champion, wants to settle his score with Floyd Mayweather in a “one on one” match.
Video of the social media star and Mayweather engaging in a tense standoff as he left the Miami Heat’s NBA game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night has surfaced.
Paul was mocked by a member of Mayweather’s group who said: “What took place? You haven’t spoken since your loss, are you? What changed following your loss?”
Then Paul sprinted away as Mayweather and his security personnel advanced.
The 26-year-old, who last month lost to Tommy Fury for the first time in his professional boxing career, has subsequently shared his account of what happened on social media.
Floyd if you want to fight 1 on 1 we can do that but don’t try to hop out of 3 cars 25 dudes deep tryna to jump me while I’m tryna enjoy my Wednesday night

He said, “Floyd Mayweather and 50 guys pull up out of nowhere.
“So what’s up?” they said as they waited for me in a side alley outside the stadium. What’s all this talk about now?
“First of all, Floyd, what did I say to you? You just let me steal your hat, and you still don’t like it?
“Around 50 guys literally surrounded me in an attempt to jump me. I’m done with that.
“Floyd, if you want to handle it alone, that’s OK, but I’m not naive. I don’t need to demonstrate my toughness; I am tough.”
Paul and Mayweather have a contentious history dating back to May 2019, when Paul tore a boxing legend’s cap from his head during a media gathering in preparation for the 46-year-exhibition old’s match against his older brother, Logan Paul.
Paul has asked for a rematch in the wake of Fury’s split decision victory, but their encounter could also have paved the way for a future fight between Mayweather and Mayweather, who last month competed in an exhibition fight at The 02 in London against Aaron Chalmers.
