UFC light-heavyweight champion Alex Pereira has responded to Jake Paul's latest call-out
UFC light-heavyweight champ Alex Pereira has shut down the possibility of squaring off with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in the ring anytime soon. 'Poatan' fought for the third time this year, his latest bout against Khalil Rountree Jr earlier in the month. The Brazilian star successfully defended his title on American soil at Salt Lake City's Delta Centre.
Straight off his win against Mike Perry, Paul didn't miss the chance to challenge another fighter during his post-match moment, saying: 'Alex Pereira, you said you want to box. I'm the king of this. I'm the king of this. Come over. 'We can make it happen. I want you, Alex Pereira. Indeed. I just beat a BKFC champion. I beat multiple UFC champions. And he said he wants to box. So Alex Pereira, after Mike Tyson, let's make it happen.
