UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman recently fired a warning at YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul as the war of words between the two continues to get bigger. Both the fighters are currently the talk of the town as they both won their last clash. While Paul knocked out former UFC fighter Ben Askren in April, Usman arguably scored the biggest win of his career by finishing BMF Jorge Masvidal in the second round of their rematch at UFC 261.

The feud between the two began after the conclusion of UFC 261, where Paul had a heated confrontation with Daniel Cormier, with the former UFC double champion even threatening to “slap” the YouTuber. When asked about the same at the post-fight conference, Kamaru Usman said that he would gladly take care of Paul because none of the fighters in his own division were making enough noise to keep his attention. A day later, Paul accepted the bout, saying that Usman would earn his biggest paycheck if he fights him.
