Combat sports fans recently expressed their opinions on Jake Paul's addition to the popular boxing game, Undisputed. Many were disheartened that Paul was included before legends like Mike Tyson.
Paul has been criticized heavily by the boxing community, especially following his decision to fight the 58-year-old Tyson. He may have managed to get his hand raised at the end of the eight-round affair, but it didn't do his reputation any good.
Post-fight, a significant portion of the boxing community accused Paul and Most Valuable Promotions of rigging the fight with Tyson through contract manipulations.
A recent X update from @PlayUndisputed (Undisputed's official account) revealed that gamers will have the option to use Paul as their in-game character from December 12 onwards.

Jake Paul's former rival suggested a name for his next rival
Jake Paul faced BKFC middleweight champion Mike Perry on July 20, winning via a sixth-round TKO. Following the defeat, Perry then refocused on his BKFC career.
During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Perry revealed that he attended the recently concluded Dirty Boxing event to watch retired UFC star Yoel Romero fight. He also suggested Romero as a potential next opponent for Paul.
Perry said:
"I think, you know, [Yoel Romero's] the age that Jake would like to try. I think that's a possible matchup they should possibly make, with Yoel Romero vs. Jake Paul. And my brother, 'mi hermano' Joey [Romero], would put a whopping on Jake for me."
