Jake Paul has told Carl Froch to fight Anderson Silva and "grow his name" in the United States if he wants to secure a fight against the YouTuber-turned-boxer.
Paul, 26, is scheduled to fight bitter rival Tommy Fury on Sunday in Saudi Arabia after two previous bookings between the pair have fallen through, but that hasn't stopped him from teasing a potential fight with Froch down the line. Paul has told the "desperate" former world champion that to set up a fight against him, he must increase his fanbase in the US by fighting UFC legend Silva.
"You seem pretty desperate, you seem like you want money and that's why you're talking all this s*** out of nowhere at your age," Paul said of Froch to BT Sport Boxing. "He needs to grow his name in the US because not many people know him. For me to make big fights, they have to be a draw in the US because that's where my fanbase is big, so that's why I said fight Anderson Silva and we'll see what's up."
