Boxing world champion Mairis Briedis drops 'diss track' on Jake Paul

Mairis Breidis has continued his pursuit of YouTube star Jake Paul by dropping a 'diss track' calling him out for a boxing match.

The Latvian star currently fights at cruiserweight and is the reigning IBF world champion having retained his belt with victory over Artur Mann in October last year.

He has targeted a unification clash with fellow champion Lawrence Okolie but has also been relentless in calling out Paul.

His 'diss track' has now been released on social media, with the lyrics: "Hey Jake how about a real man's fight? I will put my belts on the table do you want to take a bite?

"Looks like you're scared you little b**** boy, kid pick up the phone and put down your toys. Looks like you have little monkey balls, only hanging around with p*** h** dolls.

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE

"Oh I'm sorry I guess that was your girl, she's trying to find your nuts like a little squirrel. I promise I will shut your dirty little mouth. I will play with you one round and then I will knock you out.

"I will show the world that your fights were set up and I will punch you so hard you won't be able to get up. Jake you won't be able to get up."

The cruiserweight was wearing a t-shirt that has been made with the words 'Jake's bad' printed on the front which resembled a tattoo he had inked earlier this month.

Briedis has been desperate to secure a bout with Paul in recent weeks and has seemingly abandoned any plans to unify the division with Okolie.

His latest jibe joins a series of desperate attempts to lure Paul into a rivalry, astonishingly calling out Paul to a match with his belt on the line previously.

Briedis' promoter Kalle Sauerland later backed his man to beat Paul and claimed the YouTube star would "run a mile" in the ring if the pair fought.

This was followed by Briedis releasing a video of him getting a tattoo inked which said 'Jake's bad karma' with a picture of his deer logo.

He also sang Happy Birthday to Paul on social media as he continued his pursuit which fans described as "embarrassing".

He spoke about the ink in an interview and believes a fight between him and Paul would make sense to end his short boxing career.

"I saw Jake had a tattoo that said 'karma' and thought I could combine it with my deer logo," Briedis said to iFL TV.

"The tattoo is a crazy thing for me, for my family, but we will see what happens, I hope my crazy things will become true.

"This is very serious, this is a crazy tattoo, but I will do everything to get my goal and I wish my dreams would happen."

Paul is yet to respond to the searing demands from Briedis but is currently taking time out of the ring and pondering his next move.
