Michael Bisping Calls Jake Paul's Potential Fight with Francis Ngannou 'No. 1 Bulls***'
Michael Bisping isn't buying the rumors about Jake Paul's potential boxing match with Francis Ngannou. Bisping, a UFC Hall of Famer, believes that Paul is taking on opponents who are significantly older and smaller than him, such as Mike Tyson and Nate Diaz. He finds it absurd for Paul to potentially box Francis Ngannou, who is a former MMA fighter and much larger than Paul's previous opponents.
Bisping highlights the irony in Paul's choices, stating, 'Gervonta Davis really did take the piss. That was the craziest shout ever. To go from fighting Gervonta Davis, way smaller, to now boxing Francis Ngannou — listen, if he does it, fair play, but I just call 'No. 1 bullsh*t on this, brother. I don’t see this happening. I just don’t believe it. I don’t believe it at all.'
He also points out that Nate Diaz has already beaten Paul once and would likely be eager for another substantial payday. Bisping suggests that Paul's boxing career has primarily involved older and smaller former MMA fighters, and he has hinted at future fights against top boxing names like Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez. However, Bisping acknowledges that if Paul were to face Ngannou, it would be a calculated risk worth taking, as it could boost his reputation and draw attention.
Despite his skepticism, Bisping respects Paul's dedication and improvement over the years. He concludes by saying, 'For Jake Paul, it would almost be worth that calculated risk. It would be a [win-win]. Because even if he did lose — which he would — people would be like, 'Look at the balls on him!''
