Darts sensation Gerwyn Price has claimed that he could take down YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul with a single PUNCH.
‘The Iceman’ is known for his prowess in the world of darts as a former world champion and winner of three Grand Slams, has recently ventured into the digital realm by launching his own YouTube channel, following the lead of fellow dart player Stephen Bunting.
During a chat with talkSPORT, when quizzed about whether he considers himself an ‘influencer’, the 39-year-old Welshman said: “I’m definitely not an influencer. I get bored easily, as you can see. When I had time off at the back end of last year, I got bored. So when I’m away, I’m going to try and fill in my time and probably record a bit of the backstage stuff, behind the scenes.
“Giving a little bit back to the fans of what goes on behind the scenes because not everybody sees that, you know.” The conversation took a surprising turn when it was suggested that after reaching 100,000 subscribers on YouTube, it could mean a showdown with ‘The Problem Child.’
The Welshman was quick to laugh off the idea of taking on the 28-year-old, insisting: “That’s easy. I look forward to that. He’s a YouTuber; he’s not a fighter, is he? I’ve got 99,000 followers to go.” Regarding where the potential showdown would take place, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff was brought up.
With a background in professional rugby union, it’s fair to say that ‘The Iceman’ is certainly backing himself and believes Paul wouldn’t dare travel to Wales for a potential boxing fight. “He’ll never beat me in Wales,” Price said confidently. “Nobody beats me in Wales. He’d probably beat Canelo (if they fought in Mexico), but he’s not beating me, no.”
