JAKE PAUL has called out Floyd Mayweather to a “real fight” after turning down “numerous” exhibition offers.
Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor but he has returned for six exhibitions since.

Floyd Mayweather has boxed in six exhibitions
One was against Paul’s brother Logan in June 2021, which went the full eight round distance.
A month beforehand, the YouTuber-turned boxer clashed with Mayweather at a press conference, stealing his hat and sparking a mass brawl.
It has kept the feud brewing so much so that Paul was confronted by the boxing legend and his entourage after a Miami Heat match.
Paul was filmed running away from the altercation and later hit out at Mayweather, offering to settle it in the ring with their records on the line.
He said: “Floyd will not see me 1 on 1 in a real fight. That’s a fact. His team has hit my team numerous times to do one of his “exhibitions”.
“Now he ambushes me. Come see me in the ring, real fight, no exhibition robbing fans bulls***.”
Paul, 26, was just beaten for the first time in seven professional bouts, losing to Tommy Fury, 23.
The pair are now targeting a rematch in the summer following Fury’s split-decision victory in Saudi Arabia.
One night before, Mayweather, 46, rolled back the clock against Geordie Shore’s Aaron Chalmers, 35, in his UK boxing debut.
Paul has maintained he will only fight the American icon if it is professionally sanctioned with his 50-0 record at stake.
But the weight disparity makes the bout almost impossible to overcome with Mayweather never weighing more than 11st.
Meanwhile, Paul was around 13st for his loss to Fury, meaning there is TWO STONE between them.
The social media sensation in the past has offered to fight Mayweather at 175lb, with his rival coming in at 165lb to bridge the weight gap.
