Jake Paul doubles down on Paddy Pimblett's claims that his fights are rigged, offers a $1 million bet to spar
Jake Paul is firing back at Paddy Pimblett after the latter made accusations that his win against Anderson Silva last month was rigged.
Paul tweeted a video and a message directed at Pimblett after he made the accusations during his appearance on MOLA TV's Pub Talk. In his tweet, Paul mentioned that his comments were disrespectful to Silva, who is one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. The YouTuber-turned-boxer then issued a challenge to the UFC lightweight:
"Dear Paddy Pimblett, you claim my fights are rigged? Stop calling the GOAT Anderson Silva a criminal and come spar me. You win, I give you $1 million. I win, you join the UFA (United Fighters Association)."
'The Problem Child' accompanied the tweet with a video where he went into detail about 'The Baddy's accusations. He added that the UFC lightweight basically called Silva and Viacom criminals for putting on staged fights. He even offered to fly him out to Puerto Rico to spar him in 5 three-minute rounds:
"Let's spar. Fly to Puerto Rico - I'll get you a private jet - we could do 5 three minute rounds, boxing. If you win, I'll give you a million dollars, which is what you deserve to get paid Paddy, you know it. The UFC is not paying you that, you deserve to get paid more. But if I win, you gotta join the United Fighters Association and help me sign up all of the fighters in the UK."

You win, I give you $1 million. I win, you join the UFA. https://t.co/jOFqcPdjnz
It remains to be seen whether Pimblett will respond to 'The Problem Child' or even take him up on his offer. Pimblett returns to the octagon on December 10 against Jared Gordon in a lightweight clash at UFC 282.
When will Jake Paul's next boxing fight take place?
.@JakePaul has confirmed his next fight will be in February 🗓️
He’s narrowed it down to 3 potential opponents. Who should he fight? 🤔 https://t.co/dYCL81kweW
Jake Paul recently confirmed on Twitter that his next fight will be taking place in February.
'The Problem Child' has even narrowed his opponents down to three potential suitors. In the past few months, he has teased matchups with men from three different industries.
Nate Diaz got into an altercation with Paul's team during his most recent bout with Anderson Silva, so it would be logical if he fought the former TUF winner. But in the weeks that followed, 'The Problem Child' had a staredown with Andrew Tate and has gone back and forth with boxer Tommy Fury.
