Jake Paul believes Sean Strickland is a bully. And “problem children” like Paul don’t like bullies.
On Friday, the former middleweight world champion made headlines again after a video emerged of him hitting popular Rumble streamer Suneco. The two had met a month earlier at an event, and Strickland had invited him to the gym for a few rounds.
When Strickland cornered Suneko in a cage, the fun disappeared.
Many people in the MMA community praised Strickland for leaving the boy bloodied and beaten. But not everyone found it entertaining. Jake Paul took to social media to criticize ‘Tarzan’ for being tough on inexperienced individuals.
Paul then offered to fly Strickland to Puerto Rico for an intense sparring session in front of cameras.
“Sean Strickland, I’m embarrassed trying to stop a sneaky guy who did his best and couldn’t even defeat an inexperienced opponent,” Paul wrote in response to the clip. “You’re a terrible boxer who bullies inexperienced people. I’ll take you to PR so you can fight in front of the cameras… If you win, you’ll get $1 million (half of your net worth). I’ll give it to you. But if you get dropped, you’ll have to get a Betle tattoo. Please DM me. But just like Paddy, I’m sure you’ll find a way to escape.”
“Problem child” Followed up his first post. Another labeled Strickland as a bully.
“I hate bullies,” Paul added. “During my YouTuber days I was bullied and then I even became a bully. But now all my energy is focused on helping boxing bullies @Boxingbullies and young people. But when you see people like Strickland bullying people all the time, it’s time to bully back.”
Of course, Sean Strickland didn’t take long to respond. He downplayed Paul’s loss to Tommy Fury last year and taunted him.
“You lost to a part-time boxer…LOL…don’t forget that,” Strickland wrote.
Sean Strickland didn’t stop there.
The former champion wasn’t done yet, as he engaged in a war of words with Jake Paul. A series of abusive posts expressed a desire to take the boxer’s life.
“True story…all jokes aside…Jake Paul is a total fucking joke,” Strickland added. “You put a little old retired MMA fighter in a box and sell sugar water to kids. If it were legal, I’d take your life with a smile on my face. There’s no life on this earth for this man. Is there a place where you can carry it on your back?”
“Actually, Jake, I’ll give you a better deal. Money can’t buy happiness, and you’ve got so much of it, and you’re still shit…” No, you and I are in the desert…. It would buy me happiness… no Instagram, no likes, no games…. All I want is you… ….“I want to conclude with this: I want you all to understand the phenomenon that is Jake. You are a professional troll. Because you are a troll, you fight a small retired MMA fighter, The worst part of all is that you’re a Cancer. You inspire people to achieve nothing and be nothing. You inspire people to troll just because you’re successful at it. Jake Paul, you may be rich, but you’re not human, you’re a byproduct of a broken society. Your trolls will rally around you and aspire to be like you, but… Please understand one thing, you and your troll army are not equal to me. Understand that you are a cancer of this country and enjoy the virtual world. Money can never buy your dignity. Hmm. Enjoy.”
