"Let's get youTube great again" - Turki Alalshikh takes cheeky dig at Jake Paul while teasing "big pay-per-view" fight featuring 79-year-old fighter

Turki Alalshikh recently took a sharp jab at Jake Paul in a recent social media post. Paul, who transitioned from being a YouTuber to a professional boxer, has expressed his ambition to become a boxing champion. However, he has faced significant criticism for the opponents he has chosen, as he has primarily fought aging MMA and boxing veterans who are past their prime.

In a recent post on X that appears to be aimed at Paul, Alalshikh shared a video featuring 79-year-old social media star Frank Gilfeather, jokingly suggesting him as a potential next opponent. Alalshikh wrote:

"79 years in great shape...he is a friend and I can convince him... Think about it... Big pay-per-view... Let's get YouTube great again."

Gilfeather rose to social media stardom in late 2022 when his boxing training videos went viral. As of now, the 79-year-old has nearly 500,000 followers on Instagram.

Notable figures from various combat sports, including Conor McGregor, Bas Rutten, John Wayne Parr, Teddy Atlas, and reigning UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis, are among his followers.

In November 2024, Paul faced significant backlash from fans for fighting 58-year-old Mike Tyson. Many, including UFC CEO Dana White, criticized him and suggested a list of aging celebrities for his next fight. Alalshikh's recent post has also followed this trend.
