When Jake Paul 's exhibition boxing match against Gervonta "Tank" Davis fell apart last year, former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou was contacted to step in as a replacement. "The Predator" did not take the offer seriously and was offended that he was even asked. Of course, former Olympic gold medalist and two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua replaced Davis and the match was no longer an exhibition.
Joshua stopped Paul in the sixth round via TKO leaving the influencer-turned-boxer with a broken jaw. Ngannou is booked by Paul's Most Valuable Promotions to face Philipe Lins in the Rousey vs. Carano co-main event on May 16, at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
Paul hopes to meet Ngannou in the boxing ring next. "I'm definitely going to keep on fighting. We'll see how the jaw continues to heal up," Paul told Sky Sports Boxing .
"I would say there's a long list of opponents. I think most recently, Francis Ngannou was talking a lot of smack. "I think that's an easy fight for me," said Paul.
