Jake Paul Makes Bold Claim While Calling Francis Ngannou A Terrible Boxer
Jake Paul is once again stirring conversation in the combat sports world. The 29-year-old YouTube-turned-professional boxer has set his sights on former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou, pointing to the Cameroonian-French fighter’s loss to Anthony Joshua as evidence of what he sees as a mismatch.
Ngannou, known for his devastating knockout power in MMA, faced Joshua in the boxing ring and suffered a stoppage, highlighting the challenges MMA fighters often encounter when transitioning to professional boxing. Paul believes this history illustrates why he would have the upper hand in a bout against Ngannou under boxing rules.

Jake Paul calls out Ngannou
Speaking on the potential matchup, Paul said: “That’s an easy fight for me, I think he’s a terrible boxer. [I’d] knock him out like Joshua did, render him unconscious.” The statement reinforces Paul’s confidence in his own boxing skills and his strategy of targeting high-profile MMA fighters for crossover bouts
This isn’t the first time Paul has gone after fighters outside the boxing world. From Conor McGregor to Anderson Silva, he has consistently suggested that MMA athletes’ lack of boxing-specific training makes them vulnerable in a professional boxing match. Ngannou, despite his raw power, now falls into that category in Paul’s eyes.
Ngannou has not publicly responded to Paul’s remarks, leaving fans to debate the potential fight online. Some see Paul’s technical skill and boxing experience as a clear advantage, while others warn that Ngannou’s extraordinary strength could create unpredictable and dangerous moments.
Regardless, Paul’s comments have done what he intended: generating buzz. He has mastered staying at the center of combat sports conversation, using bold statements to keep fans and media talking.
Whether the fight ever happens remains uncertain, but Paul is clear about his prediction. In his mind, Ngannou is a straightforward target in a boxing ring, and history specifically Joshua’s stoppage only reinforces that confidence. Fans will be watching closely to see if Ngannou accepts the challenge or continues to avoid a crossover bout, but Paul is already convinced of the outcome.
