“I Want a Real Fight”: Ryan Garcia Reacts to Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, Calls Out Jake Paul for a Future Match
Rising boxing superstar Ryan Garcia has made his thoughts clear on the rumored clash between YouTube sensation Jake Paul and heavyweight legend Mike Tyson. Speaking candidly in a recent interview, Garcia dismissed the idea of spectacle-driven fights, declaring, “I want a real fight,” before directly challenging Jake Paul to step into the ring with him.
Garcia, known for his lightning-fast hands and undefeated record before his first professional loss, has been vocal about his desire to maintain the integrity of boxing. Reacting to the hype surrounding the potential Paul vs. Tyson bout, Garcia criticized the trend of influencer-driven matchups. “These fights are entertaining, sure, but they’re not what boxing is about. People want to see skill, passion, and real competition—not just a show,” he stated.
Despite his critique, Garcia acknowledged Jake Paul’s efforts to transition into the boxing world but made it clear he believes Paul has yet to face a true professional challenge. “Jake’s fought some names, but let’s be honest—none of them are elite-level boxers. If he really wants to prove himself, I’m right here. Let’s make it happen.”
Jake Paul, who has made waves by defeating former MMA stars and retired athletes, has repeatedly expressed his ambitions to fight legitimate boxers and even become a world champion. Garcia, however, sees himself as the ultimate test for the YouTuber-turned-fighter. “He talks a big game, but I’ll show him what it’s like to face someone at the top of their craft. If he’s serious, let’s give the fans a fight worth watching.”
Fans and analysts are already buzzing about the prospect of a Garcia vs. Paul showdown. The match would pit Garcia’s technical prowess and speed against Paul’s size and power, creating a fascinating clash of styles.
While Jake Paul has yet to respond to Garcia’s challenge, the callout has added a new layer of excitement to the ongoing debate about his place in professional boxing. For Garcia, the message is simple: “If Jake wants to prove he’s the real deal, it’s time for him to fight someone who’s been doing this their whole life. I’m ready whenever he is.”
As the boxing world waits for a response, one thing is certain: a fight between Ryan Garcia and Jake Paul would draw massive attention and could potentially redefine the trajectory of both fighters’ careers.
