YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has hit back at Katie Taylor's assessment that he "knows nothing" about high level boxing.
The social media star is 5-0 as a professional boxer, and has headlined three major pay-per-view events in America. But Taylor believes that his lack of ability at the top level of the sport means that he isn't qualified to have much of a say in her undisputed lightweight title fight with Amanda Serrano, aside from in his role as co-promoter for the bout.
Paul has been working to increase Taylor's opponent Serrano's profile among the casual boxing audience, and his involvement has been listed as one of the main reasons the bout ever materialised. The pair were unable to get it made for years despite their status in the sport, but since Paul got behind Serrano, they have both become more valuable commodities.
