Paul’s determination to focus on Ngannou left former two-division UFC titleholder Daniel Cormier scratching his head.
“Jake Paul simply received his head bashed in by Anthony Joshua. Proper? That was about as large a studying lesson that anybody might have been taught,” Cormier stated on his YouTube channel.
“This is the issue. Jake Paul has confirmed to be, he is confirmed to be one, hard-headed, two, extra daring and courageous than anybody might have ever imagined.”
Cormier considers Paul ‘daring and courageous’ for agreeing to struggle Joshua with out stipulations. That ‘daring and courageous’ mentality additionally put Paul in over his head, and Cormier thinks it’d once more.

Not Jake Paul. You possibly can love him, you possibly can hate him, however he is courageous,” Cormier stated.
“I might have thought, I swear to God, I might have thought that after what occurred with Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul would say, ‘Okay, let me rematch Anderson [Silva] or anyone … You’d have thought Jake Paul would go, ‘You recognize what? I’ll rematch Anderson. Possibly I will discover one other blended marital artists man that is a bit of bit over the hill to attempt to struggle the place it is extra protected and it is a extra managed setting as a result of the issue with the Anthony Joshua struggle is it wasn’t managed.

However I feel what’s occurring with Jake is he is wanting different present that Anthony Joshua did not knock scared into him, which in actuality he most likely ought to have knocked a bit of scared into him,” Cormier stated.
Cormier believes the decision out of Ngannou by Paul was a mistake and that the influencer-turned-boxer ought to rethink.
