GERWYN PRICE said Jake Paul ACCEPTED his boxing call out.
Price bragged in an interview with talkSPORT that he would knock YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul out with “one punch”.
Asked for an update, Price said: “He’s seen it, he’s messaged me. He wrote back to me.”
The Welshman, 40, then pulled out his phone and revealed a DM from Paul – bizarrely wanting a bout is Greece.
It allegedly read: “Come to Greece man just name a price.”
The former darts world champion had not responded to the message and joked: “I was a bit scared! Nah, I need to get some training in.”
Price is a former professional rugby player but the ex-hooker gave it up in 2014 to focus on darts.
In 2022, he was training for a charity boxing match but he later cancelled it on “medical advice.”
But when probed about fighting Paul, he told talkSPORT in February: “I think it would just be one punch, and it would be all over.
“Out cold; it would be a waste of money for people to tune in.”
Paul is 11-1 in his pro boxing career, losing only to Tommy Fury by split-decision in 2023.
He most recently beat Mike Tyson in November after the heavyweight legend controversially came out of retirement at 58.

But Canelo pulled out to instead sign a deal with Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh and Paul has instead turned his attention to Anthony Joshua.
He said on his podcast with boxer David Benavidez: “I want to fight Anthony Joshua – exclusive – because I know I will f***ing beat Anthony Joshua’s ass.
“He doesn’t have a chin, and he has no skill and he’s stiff. I love you Anthony, we’re friends, all this s*** but I want to fight you.
“I will beat Canelo, I will beat a lot of f***ing people.”
Joshua, 35, and Paul, 28, then shared a phone call and teased a 2026 fight on social media.
