A legendary heavyweight boxer, known for his powerful hitting style and deadly hooks, wants to come out of retirement after a decade just to take on Jake Paul.
Eric Esch, popular by the name Butterbean, fought in the heavyweight division and gained popularity among the crowd because of his strength and knockout ability.
Now, Butterbean is planning to make a grand comeback in the ring just so he can “knock out” and shut the big “mouth” of Paul, letting him know what it means to fight a real boxer!
Boxing legend ‘Butterbean’ wants to fight Jake Paul or Mike Tyson
In a recent Instagram live session, the veteran boxer expressed his desire to make a comeback only to fight Jake Paul.
“I’m going to fight one last fight. It’s gonna be one year from now. Jake Paul, if you’re ready, I’m here for you, my friend. Let’s get it on, me and you, Jake Paul.” Butterbean said.
The 56-year-old retired boxer began his professional boxing career in 1994 and has since racked up a record of 77 victories (58 knockouts), 10 defeats, and 4 draws. It will be interesting to see him in the ring against The Problem Child as he’s about 400 pounds.
“I’m not a typical boxer, I go out there to fight. I want to knock somebody out, Jake Paul or Mike Tyson. Jake Paul runs his mouth too much, he’s never fought nobody, I would love to fight him.” Butterbean said last year.
