Ahead of his October 29. professional boxing return against former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, undefeated puncher, Jake Paul has offered UFC president, Dana White a challenge – in the form of a $5,000,000 bet against him.

Paul, who currently boasts an undefeated record of 5-0, has been out of action since December of last year, where he managed to secure a stunning knockout win against former welterweight titleholder, Tyron Woodley in the pair’s rematch in Florida. 

As for Silva, the former undisputed middleweight champion featured under the Triller Fight Club banner back in September of last year, defeating former light heavyweight champion, Tito Ortiz with a dominant knockout win. Silva had returned to the squared circle earlier that year, defeating former boxing world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. with a split decision success.

Seeing a pair of matches against both Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr. cancelled ahead of an expected August return, Jake Paul was urged by UFC leader, White to land a professional boxing match against his former middleweight kingpin, Silva, questioning if the Ohio upstart would have the gall to take such a fight. 

Jake Paul claims Dana White owes him $1,000,000 from his Ben Askren fight

Alleging that UFC head-honcho, White owes him money from a prior bet, Paul urged the promotional leader to bet a sum of $5,000,000 ahead of his professional boxing return on October 29.

“No one thought I’d take this fight – even Dana White,” Jake Paul said at today’s Showtime press conference. “He did not think I would take this fight. And Dana, I know you’re watching, bro. You still owe me a million dollars when you bet against me (against) Ben Askren.”

“I want you to come out of hiding and stop being a b*tch, and make a bet against me and Anderson and actually pay up this time because you didn’t think I’d take this fight. So let’s make a bet. Let’s put one mill (million), two mill, five mill on it. But I bet you won’t Dana, because you’re a b*tch.”

Maintaining his respect for former undisputed UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva ahead of their October 29. professional boxing match, undefeated striker, Jake Paul has claimed that while he has the utmost respect and acclaim for the Brazilian – he will still score a knockout against him.

Paul, who saw a pair of August boxing matches against both Tommy Fury, and then Hasim Rahman Jr. halted and ultimately cancelled, respectively, has been sidelined since December of last year.

The Ohio native headlined a Showtime Boxing PPV event back in December of last year last time out, defeating former undisputed UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley with a thunderous knockout win in the pair’s rematch.

As for Silva, the veteran Sao Paulo-born striking ace turned his hand back to professional boxing back in June of last year following his departure from the UFC, handing a pair of defeats against former world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. – as well as a knockout win over former UFC light heavyweight titleholder, Tito Ortiz.

Jake Paul predicts knockout win over Anderson Silva on October 29.

Over the course of last weekend, Jake Paul published a picture of himself and his elder brother, Logan Paul during their teenage years at a meet-and-greet event with then UFC middleweight champion, Silva. And whilst maintaining he still respects the Brazilian sport icon, he plans on landing a KO victory over Silva on October 29. in Phoenix, Arizona.

“It all has to do with my previous opponents being d*ckheads,” Jake Paul said at today’s Showtime press conference when asked about his respectful nature toward Anderson Silva. “Anderson Silva is the nicest guy in the world. And we love him. If my opponent is a d*ckhead, I’m gonna treat him like a d*ckhead and beat his f*cking ass. I think people have seen that side of me, but I respect this man. I’m still gonna knock him out, but respectfully, knock him out.”

When asked for a potential round in which he predicts a knockout success against the former UFC middleweight champion, Paul, insisted that he would likely find the shots needed to finish Silva within five rounds come October 29.
