Jake Paul sends X-rated response to Carl Froch boxing challenge after Mike Tyson win
by Josh Holland · Manchester Evening NewsNo more than 48 hours after beating the iconic Mike Tyson, in Texas, Jake Paul has already began setting his sights on his next opponent. The YouTuber beat Tyson by unanimous decision in the rearranged bout this weekend which was shown worldwide live on streaming giant Netflix.
Paul, 27, is 31 years younger than Tyson, leading to controversy surrounding the fight. The manner of how the bout played out and revelations made in the aftermath by ex-world heavyweight champion Tyson - in which he claimed he "almost died" in June - have resulted in many slamming Paul.
However, the internet sensation has wasted no time in beginning the trash talk with a possible next opponent in Carl Froch. The 47-year-old ended his own career with a 33-2 record but last fought in May 2014 when he knocked George Groves out at Wembley.

"I will tie one arm behind my back and finish you for good," Froch said on social media platform Instagram, while the former super-middleweight world champion posted a short video predicting that he would demolish Paul in one round, but that was not the end of it.
And shortly after his points win over Tyson, Jake was quick to respond to Froch. "F*****g sour loser [sic]," he said. "Shut the f**k up. I've done more in four years than you have in your life.
"First and last time I respond to your broke salty a**. Let me know if you want to wash my cars."
Some boxing fans defended Froch's record, suggesting Paul might be overconfident. One fan commented: "Froch would absolutely sleep you that's why you would never fight him," while another said: "Kneel when you speak to a hall-of-famer."
