PFL CEO Gives a Resounding ‘Yes’ for Jake Paul vs Oleksandr Usyk

Notably, while there were outrageous plans, such as fighting on the moon and running a presidential campaign (which might not be that outrageous on second thought), he had mentioned that he wanted to beat Usyk. And it looks like Usyk might have taken offense to the fact that beating him was the fifth thing that Paul wanted to do on his list.

Adding a personal touch to the retweet, Usyk stated that he wants to be the first obstacle that Paul tackles and said that he wishes to fight him in a cage. He further went on to taunt him by stating that he wanted to see if Paul “got the balls or just a hunger for hype.”

When Martin was asked if PFL would provide a platform for this potential fight, his response was one that combat sports fans wished to hear.

“The answer’s yes!” he said. “That’d be amazing. I mean, look, Jake has done extraordinarily well in boxing, and I think he’s surprised a lot of people. And I would love to have the opportunity to consider him doing an MMA fight with PFL.”

“Got To Stay Locked”

While Paul is significantly larger than his upcoming opponent, Davis, his brother Logan Paul believes that this is no reason to undermine his opponent. Using his fight against Floyd Mayweather as an example, Paul urged his brother to stay locked in throughout the fight.

“He’s just got to stay locked in the entire fight with Gervonta because this one is going to be tough, I’m telling you. This is what I realized with Floyd, I’m quick when I’m like 190,” he said, “He’s [Mayweather] so fu**ing hard to hit.”
