Fans reacted to Jake Paul calling an unknown person "a total clown" on social media.
In November 2024, Paul extended his professional boxing record to 11-1 with a unanimous decision win against 58-year-old Mike Tyson. 'The Problem Child' produced a highly successful event, but many fans have questioned what is next following the controversial fight.
On Thursday, Paul took to Twitter and had this to say about someone who could be his next targeted boxing opponent:
"My guy…you are a total clown. You don’t control your own career. The conductor conducts what you do and don’t do, and you bow and say thank you for the payment sir."

Fans responded to Paul's Twitter post wondering if he was referring to Conor McGregor.
"Conor vs Paul confirmed sigh"
"Who the heck are you talking about?"
"Why were you all quiet around Conor? The whole world seen it. Conor pulls the strings and you know it."
"He is talking about his step-dad, @TheNotoriousMMA"

Earlier this week, Conor McGregor and Jake Paul were placed on the same transportation bus to the U.S. Presidential inauguration of Donald Trump. Varying footage went viral of them seemingly having a good time, while another video showed McGregor calling Paul out.
It should be noted that Paul could have been referencing several other people in his previously mentioned Twitter post, including KSI, Tommy Fury, and Darren Till.
Darren Till teases potential boxing match with Jake Paul
On January 18, Darren Till returned to the combat sports spotlight when he headlined the MF & DAZN X Series 20 crossover boxing event. Till was initially supposed to face Tommy Fury before the latter pulled out, leading to an eight-round bout against Anthony Taylor.
Till secured a sixth-round knockout win against his short-notice opponent, creating interest in his future in boxing. The former UFC fighter took to Twitter and teased his next fight potentially being against Jake Paul:
"Just had some potential big fight news could happen in the summer #Anfield #JP #paul #Jake"
Jake Paul has continuously voiced his intentions of becoming a professional boxing world champion. Paul's latest fight against Mike Tyson generated millions of views but arguably didn't help him move toward a major title.
Therefore, Paul's next boxing match should be against a worthy opponent like Darren Till or Tommy Fury, who aren't at the back end of their fighting careers.
