GLENDALE, Ariz. – Jake Paul claims UFC president Dana White has been active behind the scenes attempting to disrupt his upcoming boxing event.
On Saturday, Paul is set to take on former UFC champion Anderson Silva in an eight-round boxing match that headlines the Paul vs. Silva event at Desert Diamond Arena. However, he claims White, with who he has had multiple back-and-forth verbal exchanges, has made attempts to “sabotage” the event.
“The list goes on, and some of it I can’t even speak on,” Paul told reporters during a media scrum following Thursday’s pre-fight news conference. “But he’s been sending cease and desists for my content promoting this fight, and just doing things behind the scenes that are really shady. And we’re just finding out more and more stuff as the promotion goes on. I’m sure I’ll speak on it more at a later date.”
