Eddie Hearn has reiterated his desire for Jake Paul to take a step up in competition by facing Team GB Olympian Cheavon Clarke.
The former amateur standout is just 2-0 as a professional, and as recently as April Paul agreed to face him during a heated row with the Matchroom Boxing boss. And with Tommy Fury now seemingly out of the scheduled bout between himself and Paul, the American is on the lookout for a replacement opponent.
Clarke has knocked out both of his opponents since switching to the pro ranks after the Tokyo games, and at less than 10-0 falls under Paul's criteria for a fair challenge. However, he would be a big step up in class from the opponents the YouTube star has been facing since lacing up the gloves in 2018.
