Jake Paul details how he feels Dana White attempted to derail his major fights

Jake Paul claims that UFC boss Dana White has used methods such as cease and desist letters to try and mess up his big fights.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 25, has been involved in a bitter feud with White since ditching his internet fame for a career in the ring. Paul has criticised the terms of UFC contracts whilst demanding fighters in the promotion are guaranteed improved conditions, such as more money and an increased revenue split.

White has mocked the level of competition Paul has faced during his short-lived boxing career but was forced to eat his words in October as the American beat one of the greatest UFC fighters of all time in Anderson Silva. That fight was in jeopardy after a story about Silva allegedly being knocked out twice during his training camp surfaced during fight week, something Paul has accused White of telling the Arizona State Athletic Commission about.
