JAKARTA - Former heavyweight boxer Eric Scott Esch or known as Butterbean is fed up with 25-year-old Jake Paul, an influencer who is now a boxer.
The 55-year-old boxer plans to return to the ring in the coming months and wants to face Jake Paul.
Meanwhile, Jake Paul will face Tommy Fury at Madison Square Garden New York on August 6, the first time he will face a famous boxer.
"I'm not an ordinary boxer, I went there to fight, I wanted to bring someone down," said Butterbean at SunSport, quoted by Marca, Thursday.
"Jake Paul laughs too much, he never fights with anyone, I want to fight him. But I think people want to see Tyson and me fight too much, which will be a very bad draw," he added.
"He knows about it, I know 100 percent he knows about me challenging him. I will wait until I am closer to be ready but I have several fight offers, some big names"
"I don't want to say who, but they have sent me some contracts," he said.
Butterbean then explained his relationship with Mike Tyson, who is a legend for him.
"I think people want to see Tyson and me fight, which will be a great fight."
"My and Tyson are actually friends, but I don't mind fighting with friends," Butterbean said of fighting Tyson.
The last Butterbean boxed in 2013.
