Kamaru Usman is open to boxing Jake Paul.<\/p>\n

At UFC 261 on Saturday, Usman scored a highlight-reel KO over Jorge Masvidal<\/a> to defend his belt for the fourth time. At the event was Paul who the crowd was going after, and Daniel Cormier even confronted him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Although Paul called out Cormier, Usman says he’d rather see the former champ-champ stay retired and he can handle the YouTuber and says he’ll beat the sh*t out of him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day that\u2019s Daniel Cormier, one of the best to do this and Jake Paul needs to put some respect on his name when he speaks about DC,” Usman said to TMZ Sports<\/a>. “They\u2019re not even in the same realm, so it’s not something I would even entertain, I wouldn’t allow DC to entertain that. DC sit down, let me take care of that for you, let me take care of that.”<\/p>\n

To no surprise, shortly after the interview with Usman went public, Jake Paul took to social media to accept the welterweight champs challenge. However, it’s unlikely Dana White would allow “The Nigerian Nightmare” out of his contract to box the brash YouTuber.<\/p>\n

Challenge accepted.@USMAN84kg<\/a> if your boss Dana gives you permission to box me and make more money than you ever have, let me know and we can lace them up. I promise it will be your biggest pay day.<\/p>\n
