JAKARTA - UFC President Dana White stated that he would bet $ 1 million (IDR 14.3 billion) on Jake Paul's defeat of Ben Askren in a fight that will be held on April 17.
This match comes after Paul, a YouTuber and boxer, made an arrogant statement that he would beat UFC fighter Askren in the boxing ring.
"I want to bring UFC fighters like Ben Askren, like Jorge Masvidal, whoever he is, to the ring", Paul said quoted MARCA Friday, March 12.
"I want to fight Conor McGregor in the end.
"Whoever gets into the ring with me, I want to beat them".
This provocative comment angered the world of Mix Martial Arts, and Dana White, in particular, was quick to make a statement that Paul was not a true fighter.
"To be honest, Jake Paul is not a boxer, he's just a YouTuber", he said on the Hotboxin With Mike Tyson podcast.
"The person he will fight (Ben Askren) is a fighter, a good fighter, a respected fighter, but in reality, he has fought a real fighter".
White went on to declare that he would bet on Paul's defeat.
"I hope you can bet on this because I would bet $ 1 million that he (Paul) lost this stupid fight. There's no way he will win", he said.
Paul responds by inviting White to double the stakes.
"Dana, let's double the stake: $ 2 million (IDR 28, 6 billion)", he said.
"Let's transfer the money as collateral. The total is $ 4 million (IDR 57.3 billion). The winner takes everything".
White has not yet responded to Paul's challenge.
