Michael Bisping will be given license to fight Jake Paul despite having one eye

Michael Bisping has declared that the ball is in Jake Paul's court after finding an athletic commission willing to sanction a fight between the pair.

This is despite the former UFC middleweight champion being blind in one eye, as well as having severe knee problems and being retired from combat sport for almost half a decade. And Bisping himself has even admitted that he has minimal interest in the fight, even though he would be willing to take it to defeat Paul.

Paul stoked a war of words with Bisping last week when he listed the ex-UFC star among his six-main 'hit-list' ahead of his next boxing fight, expected to take place in August. The pair have gone back-and-forth with brutal insults, and now appear to have found a venue for the fight.
