Since starting his boxing journey back in 2018, Jake Paul has fought influencers, MMA stars, and even a basketballer – but could one of the world’s top darts players be next?

Paul, who last boxed former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson, has been sensationally called out by Welsh arrowsmith Gerwyn Price for a fight.

‘The Iceman,’ a former darts world champion who also once played professional rugby, said it would only take “one punch” for him to defeat ‘The Problem Child.’

Speaking to talkSPORT, the 40-year-old also claimed Paul “is not a fighter.”

“He is a YouTuber, he’s not a fighter, is he? I think it would just be one punch, and it would be all over. Out cold.

“It would be a waste of money for people to tune in. He’ll never beat me in Wales. Nobody beats me in Wales.

“He’d probably beat Canelo [Alvarez] but he’s not beating me, no.”

Despite his initial confidence, Price seemed to quickly change his tune after he received a message on social media from Paul.

After he revealed he had been told by the YouTuber to “name his price,” he admitted he may need some preparation first.

“I was a bit scared! No, I need to get some training in.”

Fans of Paul are awaiting news of his next fight with bated breath, after talks for a blockbuster against Canelo Alvarez fell through at the last hour.

A curveball was thrown into the mix this week, as the controversial 28-year-old boldly called out two-time heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua on his podcast BS W/ Jake Paul.

“I want to fight Anthony Joshua,”

“Because I know I will f***ing beat Anthony Joshua’s a**.

“He doesn’t have a chin and he has no skill and he’s stiff.

“I love you Anthony. We’re friends all this s***, but I want to fight you.”
