Jake Paul issued a challenge to UFC President Dana White on Saturday. Paul said he will retire from boxing if White meets the boxers demands.
This comes on the heels of White issuing a challenge to Paul after the YouTuber accused the UFC president being a frequent user of cocaine.
“I got a challenge for Jake Paul,” White said. “This guy keeps saying that I’m a coke head. He can randomly cocaine test me for the next 10 years if I can randomly steroid test him for the next two.”
Paul remained silent all week and waited until the calendar flipped to 2022 to respond.

- Happy new year @danawhite. Here is a real challenge for you…
- I will immediately retire from boxing and fight Jorge Masvidal in the UFC if you agree to:
- 1) Increase min fighter pay per fight to $50k (it’s $12k now)
- 2) Guarantee UFC fighters %%50 of UFC annual revenues ($1bn in 2021)
- 3) Provide long term healthcare to all fighters (you previously said brain damage is part of the gig…imagine the NFL said that). There are many UFC alums who have publicly said they are suffering from brain damage
- You have 5 days to accept and to implement the above by March 31, 2022. Once implemented I will immediately retire from boxing, enter USADA and agree to a 1 fight deal with UFC to fight weak chin Jorge.
- To all UFC fighter – time to take a stand and create value for yourselves and your peers. You deserve higher pay, you deserve long term health and above all you deserve freedom. Support each other. I am not your enemy. I am your advocate…who selfishly wants to KO a few of you to make some big bank
White has not responded to Paul’s New Years Day challenge.
What’s next for Jake Paul?
Paul is coming off a win against Tyron Woodley, improving to 5-0 in the ring.
Paul and Woodley would square off in Tampa Bay, Florida inside the Amalie Arena. The two would be meeting for a second time, Paul defeated Woodley back in August for his fourth win.
Paul will still need to do battle with Tommy Fury who missed the December 18th fight. Fury had fractured ribs and infection took him out of the fight.
Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz are two other names who could square off with Paul in the near future.
