Jake Paul recently saw his close ally Jorge Masvidal get knocked out cold by Kamaru Usman at the main event of UFC 261. While Paul was present in the arena, he seemed to have noted the popularity of Usman. Hence, the YouTuber turned boxer turned to social media, accepted the challenge to fight Kamaru Usman, and took a dig at the UFC chief Dana White.

He wrote, “[Kamaru Usman] if your boss Dana gives you permission to box me and make more money than you ever have, let me know and we can lace them up. I promise it will be your biggest pay day.”
