Jake Paul and Tommy Fury boxing post blasted as 'irresponsible' by advertising watchdog

A Tweet featuringYouTuber Jake Paul has been banned by the UK's advertising watchdog for 'irreponsibly' promoting betting.

The controversial ad, which appeared on Ladbrokes' Twitter feed in February, displayed an image of social influencer turned professional boxer Paul alongside a caption that read: "@TommyTNTFury beat @JakePaul by split decision last night. So, we’ve got to ask the question… What’s next for Jake Paul? Vote here now."

If that wasn't enough, the tweet also included a poll at the bottom, offering options such as "Win the re-match," "Head to the MMA," "Return to YouTube," and "Join the WWE."
