Jake Paul puts UFC boss Dana White on his ‘boxing bucket list’ with Canelo Alvarez, Mike Tyson
- YouTube star-turned-boxer says he wants to fight UFC president, as well as Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury
- ‘The Problem Child’ also responds after UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal tells him ‘you can’t afford me’
Jake Paul has revealed his “boxing bucket list” and it includes UFC president Dana White.
The 24-year-old social media star-turned-boxer is days removed from a sixth-round knockout win over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, but has already tabbed several combat sports stars as potential opponents for his upcoming fights.
That trend continued on Wednesday, when the American shared a five-man “boxing bucket list” with his 4.1 million Twitter followers.
All but one of the men on Paul’s list are world-class professional boxers – though Floyd Mayweather Jnr is ostensibly retired. The lone outlier is White, who, despite decades of experience in the combat sports industry, has never fought professionally.
Paul has become an outspoken critic of White, frequently accusing the UFC boss of underpaying his fighters. White, 52, has responded to Paul on several occasions, but is extremely unlikely to fight the 24-year-old.
“I’ve been hearing that bulls*** forever, they’re all full of s***,” White said at the UFC 263 post-fight press conference in June.
