Paddy Pimblett accepts Jake Paul's $1million challenge after "fix" accusation

Paddy Pimblett has accepted Jake Paul's $1million sparring challenge after the pair rowed over whether the YouTuber's fights are fixed.

Pimblett accused Paul of rigging his boxing bouts - including his points win over UFC legend Anderson Silva last month. The social media star hit back at the Liverpudlian and challenged him to a spar at his gym in Puerto Rico - promising to pay him $1m if he 'won'.

Pimblett, who returns to action on Saturday week at UFC 282, declined to fly out so close to his fight, but offered to meet Paul in the ring at the UFC's Performance Institute in Las Vegas less than 48 hours after his bout.
