“I’m thinking of coming in and just taking over the game” – Jake Paul reignites Gerwyn Price feud, wants to prove point with career switch

Jake Paul has thrown a fresh grenade into his ongoing feud with Gerwyn Price — this time threatening to switch careers entirely and take over professional darts, insisting he would rather not have to embarrass the Welsh former world champion on the oche.

Paul, nicknamed ‘The Problem Child’, is known for his outspoken views and provocative statements. Speaking in conversation with Sky Sports, he went a step further than simply reviving talk of a boxing clash with Price, now suggesting he could also make an impact in darts. “Yeah I wouldn’t want to embarrass him, but I’m thinking of coming in and just taking over the game… I’m a hunter and I have perfect aim,” Paul said.

The latest comments add a new dimension to what has become an increasingly colourful back-and-forth between the American social media star and the darts world. The feud has been building since Price called out Paul on talkSPORT in early 2025, dismissing the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s fighting credentials in typically blunt fashion. “That’s easy, I look forward to that. He’s a YouTuber, he’s not a fighter, is he? I think it would just be one punch, and it would be all over. Out cold,” Price said. “It would be a waste of money for people to tune in. He’ll never beat me in Wales. Nobody beats me in Wales. He’d probably beat Canelo but he’s not beating me, no.”

Price then revealed that Paul had responded privately — and with some flair. “He’s seen it and messaged me,” the 40-year-old told talkSPORT. “He wrote back to me and said, ‘Come to Greece, man. Just name a price.’ I don’t know why he’s in Greece.” When pressed about whether he had replied, Price quipped: “I was a bit scared. No, I need to get some training in.”

Price is no stranger to multi-sport crossovers himself. The Welshman was a professional rugby player for Neath, Cross Keys and Glasgow Warriors before turning to darts full time in 2014, and was briefly set to compete in a charity boxing match in 2022 before pulling out on medical advice. That background lends some credibility to the idea that he would hold his own in the ring — though Paul, despite his critics, has built a serious professional boxing record and is no pushover.

Paul’s suggestion that he could now march into darts and dominate the sport will raise eyebrows in the darts community. His comments are not coming out of nowhere — he has previously floated the idea of a crossover clash with Price, and that history provides some context. But his latest suggestion that he could step into darts and “take over” moves the conversation in a different direction.

For darts fans, the most obvious retort is that Price himself is a two-night winner in the current Premier League campaign, with form suggesting he would give Paul a rather thorough education at the oche before any camera had time to roll. For now, there is no indication that anything concrete will come from Paul’s remarks. As with many of his previous callouts, the comments are far more likely to generate attention and reaction than lead to any serious crossover into the sport.

Paul’s claim that he has “perfect aim” is at least an interesting proposition from a man who has made a career out of exactly that kind of bravado — but whether it translates from the boxing ring to the dartboard remains, to put it mildly, to be seen.
