Jake Paul Rips Floyd Mayweather's Exhibition Win vs. Deji, Says He's 'Ruining' Boxing

Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. continued his run of easy exhibition wins with a dominant sixth-round TKO victory over YouTuber Deji on Sunday, but one of his contemporaries isn't happy.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with Mayweather's post-retirement boxing performances:

Sunday's match marked Mayweather's fifth exhibition fight since defeating Conor McGregor in 2017 to retire from professional boxing with a 50-0 record.

Paul was in attendance at the exhibition event in Dubai and sat ringside. During the co-main event, he had gotten into an altercation with longtime rival Tommy Fury and his father John Fury after heckling the 23-year-old throughout his lackluster performance against Rolly Lambert.

John Fury, who is also the father of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, confronted Paul and ripped off his shirt while beckoning for him to get in the ring. Paul continued to fire insults at both father and son from the commentary table.

Martin Domin of Mirror reported that there was a near two-hour delay between the co-main event and the main event partly because Mayweather refused to walk to the ring for his fight until Paul left his ringside seat.

Mayweather and Paul do have some history, stemming from the buildup to his older brother Logan Paul's exhibition match against the 45-year-old last summer. A viral moment occurred when Paul stole Mayweather's hat, which enraged the former five-division world champion.

On Friday, Mayweather mocked Paul for his recent win over MMA legend Anderson Silva, saying he's not impressed with the 25-year-old's six-fight win streak over lesser competition.

"He’s just a lot of talk," Mayweather told reporters in Dubai. "It’s different when you’re [facing boxers] at the highest level; once you get in there with a real fighter that can really fight. Is he doing good? Absolutely. For who he’s fighting. Guys 50, guys 40. Does he want to fight me? Of course, I’m nearly 50 years old, of course, he wants to fight me."

If Paul can continue to rack up some high-profile wins as their rivalry continues to grow, it would not be out of the question to see him matched up with Mayweather in the future.
