Jean-Claude Van Damme is 64 years old, has a legendary martial arts career and, apparently, wants to step into the ring one more time. 🥋 In a video that went viral, he challenged Jake Paul to a hybrid kickboxing and boxing match, but with one very particular condition: no low kicks, to protect the YouTuber-turned-boxer’s knees.
He didn’t stop there. He offered to donate 15% of his earnings to charity, invited Paul to do the same, and let him choose the venue: Dubai, Las Vegas, Saudi Arabia, wherever he wants. The proposal would be for late 2026.
What’s curious is who came out to back him: Valentina Shevchenko, UFC champion, called him a legend and said he would teach Paul a lesson. Meanwhile, the YouTuber, who is coming off a knockout loss and a fractured jaw against Anthony Joshua, has not said a word. 😂
