WBA Champion Dmitry Bivol thinks blogger Jake Paul can last a few rounds against him in a boxing match.

How would your fight with Jake Paul go according to you?
– I do not even know. I didn’t watch his fights. I don’t even see how this could happen in the near future.
– So you can even imagine some kind of equal fight?
– I do not know. I don’t know how he boxes. Maybe he’ll start running, or maybe he’ll attack.
– To clarify, can you imagine former blogger Jake Paul going four rounds against you?
– Why not? Maybe that’s good. It also depends on my preparedness. Maybe he’ll kiss all the rounds or run away from me there.
– If you were offered the same amount as an opponent of good status, would you accept such a fight?
– So far, no one has offered me anything for this fight, and it doesn’t even exist in my head. I have other tasks, I did not even mentally open this option.
– At the same time, Jake Paul himself said that he resembled you in style. What do you think about it?
“Maybe he saw something that he too can do like me. A few little moments.
– Would the weight count for you in such a fight?
– Again, I did not even open such an option in my head. I am a professional boxer.
