Fresh off his unanimous decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Jake Paul stunned fans by announcing his next fight against a wheelchair-bound opponent, sources have confirmed.
The audacious callout came after the fight at Anaheim’s Honda Center, with Paul crowing, “Butterbean’s next—wheelchair or not, I’m breaking records!”
The crowd gasped as Paul referenced a viral clip of the 58-year-old ex-heavyweight, recently seen using a wheelchair due to health issues, vowing to “still knock Jake out.”
Posts on X erupted, with fans slamming Paul for “bullying a legend,” while others hyped the “freakshow” potential.
Critics, noting Paul’s 12-1 record, called it a disgrace, but his team insists it’s “respectful” to Butterbean’s legacy.
As of press time, Paul’s pushing a Netflix “Wheelchair KO” special, Butterbean’s mulling the offer, and Chavez Jr. fumes over being upstaged.
