The boxing legend with a boxing personal record of 77-10-4, Eric Esch aka Butterbean is ready to come back in the ring. For his comeback, he wants nothing more, and nothing less, but the popular YouTuber and rising star boxer Jake Paul.
According to Butterbean, he is in the best shape of his life at the moment and feels like 30 years ago. Young, powerful, and full of rage and determination in the ring. However, the 55-year-old boxer is in retirement for almost a decade at the moment and hasn’t won a fight since 2007.
Butterbean Calls Out Jake Paul – I’m In The Best Form Ever, Fight Me If You Dare!
Known for his brutal power, strange technique, and most of all, unusual unsporting look, Butterbean is one of the most preposterous boxing stars.
Butterbean never had a chance to compete for a world title, even though he is boxing for more than two decades. However, he remains one of the most recognizable boxing stars.
Now, in 2022, Butterbean is looking to re-enter the boxing scene once again, stronger and more powerful than ever. Moreover, in the shape of his life, in great condition and strength.
“I’m feeling in the best shape I ever have,” Butterbean says. “I’m at fight weight. You’ll have to listen to my podcast coming up to find exactly how much weight I have lost, but I haven’t weighed this in over 20 years so that’ll give you an idea. The big announcement is I’m gonna fight one last fight. It’s gonna be one year from now. Jake Paul, if you’re ready, I’m here for you, my friend.”
“Let’s get it on, me and you Jake Paul. I bet it would be an awesome fight. After you said what you said about me in the magazine, I’m ready to fight you. Are you ready? I don’t think so.” – Butterbean mocks the heavyweight and provokes him into a fight.
However, Jake Paul is not short of offers. And the last thing he needs now is a comic boxing fight that will not bring him any fame or money. Jake announces that he will be back in the ring. But who will win the prize money lottery is still not revealed. There are rumors that his next opponent will most probably be someone from the UFC since he already has bad blood with UFC’s headquarters staff. Conor McGregor, Kamaru Usman, and Jorge Masvidal are just some of the names he called out during this period.
“I understand why people don’t want to respect me yet.” – Jake Paul says – “I’m putting the work in. I’ve dedicated my entire life to this, I’ve forfeited so many opportunities for this sport, all because I want to box. I wouldn’t want to have it any other way. I’ve already made a lot of money. Now I want to die a legend.”
Joe Rogan, Jon Jones, Brock Lesnar, Marvin Vettori. These are some of the UFC names that have respect for the boxing newbie.
Jake Paul’s goal is to get a title shot in the next years and become a champion. Fighting Butterbean might not do any good, or bad for him. But most definitely will not gain him some significant advancement in his career.
