Getty/TMZ UPDATE9:44 AM PT -- Jake's Most Valuable Promotions got wind of Briedis' ink and fired back on Tuesday ... saying, "This man is the IBF Cruiserweight Champion of the world, 28-1 and has been fighting professionally for 13 years ... and he tattoos Jake's name on his leg in the hope of fighting JAKE."
UPDATE"Now tell us again who is a bigger breakout star in boxing? Clowns."
UPDATEMVP doesn't necessarily say no to Briedis' fight offer ... so maybe it worked??
A world champion boxer is the latest fighter to call out Jake Paul ... and the dude's so serious about making it happen, he got the YouTuber's name tattooed on himself!!
The man calling out Jake is Mairis Briedis -- he's a 28-1 (20 KOs) Latvian pro who is a 3-time cruiserweight champ and the current #6 pound-for-pound boxer, according to BoxRec.
36-year-old Briedis showed how badly he wants the bout by revealing the ink job on his left thigh on Monday ... saying, "Hey Jake, I got something for you."
MB then showed off the big black and red tat of a bull's head featuring a message, "Jake's Bad Karma" ... a direct nod to Jake's "Karma" tattoo on his collarbone
