Rapper Rick Ross Offers $10M to anyone who fights Jake Paul
YouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul is one of the hottest cakes in the sport. Many from both sides – sports and entertainment – have discounted Jake Paul as being a showman, despite his knockout win over former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley. However, Jake also has a long list of supporters, which includes famous rapper Rick Ross.

Rick Ross believes that nobody wants to fight Jake Paul because most of them are afraid of him. The famed artist has now raised the stakes, declaring a $10 million prize for anyone willing to take on Jake in the ring. Per media reports, Ross is desperate to make Jake’s next fight happen, who currently holds a perfect professional record in his five fights.

Jake Paul was scheduled to fight Hasim Rahman Jr., the son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman. However, the fight was canceled allegedly because Rahman Jr. wanted to weigh in at 215 pounds instead of the previously agreed 205 pounds. On the other hand, Rahman accused that it was MVP that canceled the fight, as they wanted him to weigh in 2-3 weeks before the fight, which wasn’t possible for him.

Hasim Rahman Jr. holds a professional record of 12-1, with 6 KO victories. He is the second professional boxer Jake Paul was scheduled to fight, after Tommy Fury, WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury’s brother. Sadly, both the fights were canceled. Taking a dig at Jake’s opponents, Ross stated in an Instagram post that he was willing to put $10 million to make the right match happen.

Though Jake has big wins over Woodley and famed MMA fighter Ben Askren, the famous Youtuber is yet to face a professional boxer in the ring. A couple of months ago, the four-time World Kickboxing Champion and internet sensation Andrew Tate called out Jake Paul and claimed that he would maul the YouTube star in the ring. There hasn’t been any update on that story as of yet.
