Jake Paul's dad responds to fight call-out from 52-year-old Simple Simon

Jake Paul's dad Greg has accepted the fight challenge of British TikTok star Simple Simon - as long as the fight happens in bare-knuckle boxing or in MMA.

The 58-year-old Ohio native is seemingly the only member of the Paul family who doesn't fight, with his sons Jake and Logan having competed nine times between them. He is an avid MMA fan and got his sons into the sport early, and has been jokingly called out by YouTubers for years.

But he now appears to want to step into the ring for real, and seemingly has interest in fighting 'Simple' Simon Colbran, a TikTok star who made his debut in London last weekend. He was knocked out by 19-year-old Ed Matthews, but insists he wants to fight again.
