Retired Daniel Jacobs Open to Jake Paul Bout: “I can put -me in shape” for a “fun struggle”

Daniel Jacobs says he would be interested in leaving retirement to fight Jake Paul to give him a credible to fight. The ex-champion of 38 years of two years, Jacobs (37-5, 30 ko), believes that Paul (12-1, 7 kos) is looking for “credibility” in his boxing career, but he needs someone like him as an opponent to give him this.

Credibility: Offer of Jacobs

Jacobs retired last year in July after a ten -round decision loss to Shane Mosley Jr. However, he says that his skills are still there, and that what he has learned during his long career continues to continue to his knowledge bank.

The question is whether Paul would like to take the risk of fighting someone credible as Jacobs, because it would be risky. Jacobs has power, and has only been withdrawn for a year. Although he is 38 years old, he would still be very dangerous, especially in the first rounds.

“To fully judge Jake to say that he is not biased, he is not equipped, he is not hacked, although he really does not feel it, but I can see, or I can understand the statements,” said Daniel Jacobs in the TreadmillSpeaking of Jake Paul. “It would be needed for him (Jake) fighting someone really respectable. Someone who has a struggle to give and is a bit more consistent because I think this is what he really looks for. Credibility, right?”

Fans doubt Paul’s reasons

Some fans believe that Jake’s reason to select opponents has nothing to do with credibility and more to do with the generation of money. The choice of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. And Mike Tyson, 59, as opponents is a backward way to obtain credibility. It was an excellent way for Paul to make millions. If credibility, Jai had not addressed Jake, Jai Opteia, the IBF cross champion? He has considered the best in this division by far.

“Obviously a boy like me even leaving retirement (Note: Jacobs has been withdrawn for only one year. He hung his gloves on July 6, 2024). This is the type of credibility you are looking for (Jake Paul). Old world champion, a guy that is respected among most. “”

Compared to some of the sport fighters, Jacobs is relatively young. He has just turned 38 in February and is the same age as Oleksandr Usyk. However, Jacobs lost the last two fights for John Ryder and Shane Mosley Jr, but this was more than a situation he spent after he started strongly on both fights.

In the first fights, Jacobs looked like his vintage self, but then he faded to the midpoint and fought with fumes. It is more than a training topic than a topic related to age. A little more cardio in the camp would have made a big difference in these fights.

“I would never reject a scenario like this simply for what it represents. I do not try to be competitive, but for me, this is a fun struggle. I can put in shape. There is still skill. I never forget. I will not go back to boxing, especially on a competitive level. But if the proper dynamics came out where it could have fun -me, why not,” said Jacobs.
