YouTube star Jake Paul called out for boxing fight by 330lb bodybuilder 'Big Boy'

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has received one of his first major callouts of 2023, with bodybuilder and influencer 'Big Boy' pushing for a fight.

The former Disney star is 6-0 as a professional boxer, and appears to have left the influencer boxing scene behind after wins over MMA legends such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. But he is still frequently called out by fighters who compete on the celebrity circuit, with 'Big Boy' set to make his debut against Tito Ortiz later this year.

The 330lb bodybuilder, whose real name is Jake Johns, has been pushing for a bout with former UFC light-heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz, whose boxing debut saw him viciously knocked out within a round by Silva in 2021. And should he manage to beat Ortiz, he wants to take on his namesake Paul in his sophomore outing.
