During his rise in the boxing world, there is one person in particular who hasn\u2019t been on board with what Jake Paul is doing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul has proved Dana White wrong on several occasions<\/a> by facing and beating multiple former UFC<\/a> stars since turning professional in 2020.<\/p>\n

Though the comments that have been exchanged between them have covered various subjects, Paul blames White for causing two of the biggest criticisms<\/a> that he often hears about his boxing career.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Problem Child\u2019 is set to return to the ring this weekend when he faces Julio Cesar Chavez Jr<\/a> at the Honda Center in Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Much to White\u2019s surprise, Paul\u2019s next bout will clash with UFC 317<\/a>, which sees one of the promotion\u2019s biggest events of the year take place in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul claimed that he\u2019d knock Dana White out in a Las Vegas club despite seeing things from his perspective<\/p>\n

Ahead of his first clash with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley<\/a>, Jake Paul<\/a> spoke to the media where he commented on Dana White\u2019s<\/a> criticism of his boxing career.<\/p>\n

Paul, who first became famous via various social media platforms, had knocked out former UFC star Ben Askren<\/a> in the first round earlier that year.<\/p>\n

After White predicted that Askren would win the fight, he took a similar stance in regards to the matchup with Woodley, though he did state that the former champion was far past his prime.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Paul spoke in an interview with MMA Fighting where he revealed that he could understand where White was coming from with his statements.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe go back and forth, at the end of the day. He\u2019s always talking about me, I\u2019m always talking about him. He\u2019s trying to discredit what I\u2019m doing. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, one moment he loves Tyron Woodley and he\u2019s a five-time UFC champion\u2014and Dana White\u2019s saying, \u2018He\u2019s one of the greatest welterweights ever\u2019\u2014and then, boom, 12 months later he sucks. Jake Paul\u2019s fighting him, blah blah blah. <\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s just trying to discredit anything that I do. Which, of course, that\u2019s what I would do if I was in his position. He\u2019s a smart guy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

When Paul was asked how he sees the feud between him and White coming to an end, he suggested that before the hatchet could be buried, there may be a physical altercation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it ends with me running into him in a club in Vegas and knocking him the f*** out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Jake Paul continued to prove Dana White wrong with his wins over Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva<\/p>\n

After narrowly beating Tyron Woodley via a split decision in their first encounter, Jake Paul made a statement in their rematch by knocking the former champion out.<\/p>\n

His next outing would come against an opponent that Dana White believed would be too risky of a fight for Paul to entertain at this stage in his boxing career.<\/p>\n

After departing the UFC in 2020, the legendary former fighter Anderson Silva<\/a> crossed over into boxing where he beat the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Tito Ortiz.<\/p>\n

In October of 2022, Paul and Silva faced off with \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 beating \u2018The Spider\u2019 over 8 rounds with all three scorecards being in his favor.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During his rise in the boxing world, there is one person in particular who hasn\u2019t been on board…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214486,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,4778,17819,63567,79,85266,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-214485","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-dana-white","10":"tag-jake-paul","11":"tag-jake-paul-vs-julio-cesar-chavez-jr","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-throwbacks","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114746806997661140","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=214485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/214485\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=214485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=214485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=214485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
