Dana White says he would bet $1 million on Askren beating Paul; Paul responds

Jake Paul has dared UFC President Dana White to double down on his upcoming fight against former Bellator and ONE welterweight champion Ben Askren.

Askren is slated to face Paul (2-0, 2KOs) in his pro boxing debut on April 17 at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, USA.

Convinced that Paul would get beaten by Askren, White said he is willing to bet a million dollars that his ex-prizefighter is going to win- to which Paul responded with a dare to make it two million.

“Dana let’s double the bet up! $2 Million. We wire the money into escrow. $4 million total. Winner takes all. My team will be in touch to make a contract,” Paul wrote on his Instagram.

Paul, 24, last saw action in the co-main event of Tyson vs. Jones last November where he stopped ex-NBA player Nate Robinson via second-round knockout.

The 36-year-old Askren, meanwhile, retired from mixed martial arts in 2019 after he suffered back-to-back defeats in the UFC.

And if White is up for a challenge, Paul also dared the UFC boss to meet him inside the ring after he is done with Askren.

“After I knockout Ben, we can set up Jake Paul vs. Dana White 2021 since you consider yourself a “Boxer” and me a “YouTuber”.” -- BAP, GMA News
