Jake Paul has demanded Dana White take him up on a $5million bet that he will beat Anderson Silva in his boxing return next month.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has taken a new approach in the lead-up to his fight with UFC legend Silva on October 29, opting to play 'Mr Nice Guy' and shower his opponent in respect after growing up idolising the Brazilian. So in an effort to stoke controversy and get people interested in a rivalry, he has gone back to his old rival; UFC boss White.
Paul insists White still owes him $1m from when he claimed he would bet anybody that Ben Askren would beat Paul in their April 2021 showdown. That bet was never made official and White has claimed he was being offered considerably less favourable odds than any sportsbook by Paul's people, but the narrative remains and now the social media star wants more.
