IBF cruiserweight world champion Mairis Briedis is eager to square off against Jake Paul, and he got a tattoo to prove it.
The 36-year-old Latvian boxer, who holds a 28-1 record, posted a video on his Instagram account Monday showing him getting a tattoo of a bull's head with the message, "Jake's Bad Karma."
"Jake, now it's your turn," Briedis said at the end of the video.
Paul is 5-0 as a professional boxer, with his latest victory coming against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in December. He stated during a recent podcast appearance that he wants to fight a "real boxer" next and expressed interest in a match against former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez.
