Jake Paul offered $1M. This former NFL player had a response
“The Problem Child” even offered $1 million to any NFL player who can box him better than he can run routes against them.
“Will pay any NFL player $1 million dollars if you can box me better than I run routes against you Internet is judge. Will send my jet to pick you up who’s down?” Paul wrote on X.
“Not a single NFL player could last 2 rounds in a professional boxing ring,” he wrote in another post. “Meanwhile I can catch a touchdown pass tomorrow in the NFL with 0 training.”
Former football player Hokit didn’t let Paul’s comments pass. “The Incredible Hok” is confident that he can beat Paul not only in boxing but in any sport in the world.
“With all due respect, [Jake Paul] Not only could I beat you in a boxing match, I’d beat you in any sport under the sun,” Hokit posted in response.
Paul believes Hokit is just trying to chase clout and is open to boxing the Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight in Puerto Rico.
“I see your hustle. You do your best to sell,” Paul responded. “If you want to fly down to Puerto Rico and box – anytime I will gladly embarrass you.”
Hokit (10-0) originally looked to make a career in the NFL. However, he went unpicked in the 2020 NFL draft before being signed by the San Francisco 49ers as an undrafted free agent. Hokit’s NFL career never took off and he transitioned to MMA soon after. He has four UFC wins with three knockouts and three bonuses. The undefeated heavyweight has also quickly grown in popularity with his polarizing comments and antics.
