Jake Paul has caused quite a stir in the world of professional boxing and other combat sports as of late. Transitioning from a full-time content creator to a hopeful boxer, Paul has scored three victories in the ring, even taking out former NBA star Nate Robinson last November. However, Paul has yet to throw down with a \u201ctrue\u201d fighter, making his upcoming bout with former UFC star Ben Askren quite an intriguing proposition. In fact, the fight has gained such a wide amount of attention that UFC president Dana White put $1 million on Askren coming out on top. \u201cLet\u2019s be honest, Jake Paul isn\u2019t a ****ing boxer. He\u2019s a YouTube kid,\u201d White said of the bout during an episode of Mike Tyson\u2019s Hotboxin\u2019 podcast \u2014 a statement that both Tyson and pro boxer Zab Judah didn\u2019t seem to agree with. It appears that Snoop Dogg is also contesting White\u2019s now-viral opinion, as he called out the UFC prez in a pointed video on the subject and even challenged him to up the ante by another million dollars. \u201cHey Dana White, I see you got faith in your boy, right?\u201d Snoop challenged, as reported by TMZ. \u201cGoing up against my guy Jake. You say you got a million? You\u2019re the CEO of UFC. You got more than a million. Put up two. Put up $2 million, and we\u2019ll match it.\u201d Thus far, Dana White has yet to respond to Snoop\u2019s callout video, but the rapper isn\u2019t the only one to have doubled up on his bet; Jake Paul himself did the same after viewing the Hotboxin\u2019 podcast, claiming he would put $2 million on his chances of winning over Askren. Askren, however, has reacted to Snoop\u2019s $2 million challenge, slamming the rapper for not having a real grasp on boxing. \u201cOh god, did anyone who listened to Snoop Dogg\u2019s commentary of the last fights think he has any understanding of boxing?\u201d the mixed martial artist tweeted. \u201cBecause he was totally clueless. Funny, but clueless.\u201d Oh god did anyone who listened to @SnoopDogg commentary of the last fights think he has any understanding of boxing?? Bc he was totally clueless. Funny, but clueless. https:\/\/t.co\/7XWM0IZ7LL \u2014 Funky (@Benaskren) March 12, 2021 For now, it remains to be seen if White will take Snoop\u2019s offer, but that isn\u2019t stopping fans from keeping an eagle eye on his social accounts just in case he does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Snoop Dogg calls out Dana White for $2m bet over Jake Paul v Ben Askren fight YouTube: WE tv, Jake Paul, BT SportYouTube star Jake Paul is set to face off against Ben Askren in just a month\u2019s time, and it looks like he\u2019s already got some major celebrity support after rap legend Snoop Dogg [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59079\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
