‘The Gypsy King’ called out Paul on his brother’s behalf alongside NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal in an Instagram post on Thursday.

Paul has called out some of the biggest names in combat sports since beating Askren in May, including UFC star Conor McGregor. His brother, Logan, is set to fight Floyd Mayweather in an exhibition bout this month.
