"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 back with an image of a ticket dispenser with the words
"get in line" before sharing a screenshot of their chat. "Man been boxing for 12 years, has over 100 fights between amateur and pro and fought on my undercard…hahaha," "But f**k it... I’m going to have Nakisa talk to Frankie Warren and get you in line for the throne. Unlike Artur, at least you have a few thousand fans."
Paul responded
Dubois isn't the only boxing icon to have called out Paul. The 27-year-old was also called upon by Beterbiev, who recently beat Dmitry Bivol to become the undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO light heavyweight world champion.
