‘I’ll Basically Do It for Free’- Marvin Vettori Open to Beat Up Jake Paul

Published 04/06/2021, 12:24 AM EDT

Perennial UFC middleweight contender Marvin Vettori is gutted at the media for the amount of attention they are giving to Jake Paul. ‘The Italian Dream’ is skeptical of Paul’s fighting skill and has offered to fight ‘The Problem Child’ for free.

Paul, a YouTube star, is currently looking to make his mark in the world of Boxing. However, Vettori is not quite impressed by his skills.

He feels like it’s unfair for other fighters who devote their lives to the sport as ‘The Problem Child’ is getting all the media attention. Also, ‘The Italian Dream’ feels like the money involved around Paul’s fights is disrespectful to professional fighters.

This Jake Paul bullshit is so disrespectful to all the real fighters
Fuck whoever is always trying to take shortcuts especially in this game
Hope I had the chance to punk this bitch in any training or fight
Blood sweat and tears is what this game is about and he’s none of this

In a recent interview with MMAFighting, Vettori said, “It’s bad, it’s disrespectful, The most disrespectful is also this bullsh*t ass media that I’ve seen all over where they give him credit.

“Just tell him, somebody go get him and I want to make it a surprise, I want to show you something. Just bring him to Huntington. Once he steps in that door, we just lock the door. Trust me, we wouldn’t be unfair,” he added.

“I’m all about it, Like I said, I’ll basically do it for free. I would,” he further added.

‘The Italian Dream‘ also added that he would welcome ‘The Problem Child‘ if the latter ever shows up. Or he can send some 145lbers too who will smash the YouTube star.
