Internet reacts to Anthony Ogogo challenging Jake Paul to a fight
As soon as Anthony Ogogo posted on X (formerly Twitter), netizens flocked to comment with their views, with many suggesting that Jake Paul only fights easy opponents.
One wrote, "@jakepaul is a coward who only fights guys who won't beat him. You would f him up in 1 round, so he would never take that fight. Sad to say, we all know Jake & Logan are p**sies who only do things to make themselves look good, they don't care about real competition."
Another remarked, "Oh, Jake Paul, the world is eagerly awaiting you to fight a 'real' boxer. You've shown us all how serious you are about boxing."
