Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Jake Paul will probably never fight, but that doesn’t mean they can’t continue to verbally jab at each other. The rivals have a long history dating back to when Paul’s brother Logan Paul met in an exhibition boxing bout in June 2021.

"The Problem Child" was referring to an exhibition bout between Mayweather and YouTuber Deji, the younger brother of KSI, that took place in 2022. Although Floyd won via technical knockout in the sixth round, he was given a mark under his left eye caused by a punch.

Jake Paul has responded to Floyd Mayweather's interview on Jimmy Fallon calling the unbeaten former world champion a bum and claiming that he will knock him out in two rounds.

“Me and Logan [Paul], we done an exhibition and that’s why he moved to WWE because he wanted to hold me the whole night,” Mayweather joked about the 2021 bout, which had no judges or official winner. “I think WWE is good for Logan.”

Jake Paul has made a name for himself in the boxing ring but Floyd Mayweather isn't too impressed with the influencer. Whether you love him or hate him, 'The Problem Child' has been one of the biggest names in the sport over the past few years.
