 In his earlier video message, Van Damme stated his readiness to step into the ring, proposing his own set of rules for the fight.

Jake Paul hasn't publicly responded to Van Damme's challenge yet. The actor proposed a K-1 style fight with boxing rules, excluding low kicks and elbows, and even offered to donate 15% of his purse to charity.
