Jake Paul offered fight with UFC champion Kamaru Usman after Conor McGregor call-out

Jake Paul has been offered a fight with UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

Paul made an offer to the promotion's president Dana White last week which would see him take on Conor McGregor as part of a one-fight deal. Paul offered to donate his purse to the lowest-paid UFC fighters if he lost - and if he won he would expect White to improve pay and healthcare for his stars.

White was lukewarm about the idea and ruled out signing the younger Paul brother to his organisation - and insisted he is too big for former featherweight and lightweight champion McGregor. But Usman, who is currently recovering from hand surgery, has been put forward by his manager for a fight with Paul at a 185lb catchweight.
