Jake Paul has angered fans by calling out Oleksandr Usyk after his latest win.
The pound-for-pound boxing superstar became a three-time undisputed champion on Saturday night.
Oleksandr Usyk brutally knocked out Daniel Dubois in the fifth round of their rematch at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Post-fight, Jake Paul climbed into the ring and shared a surprise face-off with the WBO, WBA, WBC, and IBF heavyweight champion.

Jake Paul slammed for calling out Oleksandr Usyk
Earlier this week, fans expressed their concern for Paul after he agreed to fight Anthony Joshua.
The 28-year-old confirmed that fight ‘is happening’ during a ringside interview before Usyk vs. Dubois 2.
Post-fight, Paul took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to build hype for a potential fight with Usyk.
“First AJ then OU. Book it,” he wrote to incite angry reactions from many boxing fans.
“Delusional mate, absolutely delusional,” one person replied. While another added: “Stop lying.”
“Bro gonna wait for Usyk to turn 40 lol,” a third fan joked
“You been drinking?” someone else asked.
“Never happening,” another X user insisted.
“Stop will ya you clown,” a sixth fan fumed.

Paul quickly shut down the possibility of facing Usyk in the boxing ring.
“Congrats to one of the greatest heavyweights of all time @usykaa on a huge win,” he wrote alongside footage of their staredown.
“I respect you a lot. Now we do an MMA match for the world @MostVpromotions.”
Paul has a contract with PFL, and has been talking about switching sports for several years.
After Nate Diaz rejected a $15 million MMA rematch, Paul decided to stick with boxing.
Usyk has already confirmed his willingness to change sports for a fight with Logan Paul‘s brother.
