Over the years, promoters and fighters have had several intriguing rivalries. One of the most notable is the feud between UFC CEO Dana White and YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. Recently, the ‘Problem Child’ shared some interesting details about his ongoing conflict with the UFC CEO. This came after Jake Paul illegally snuck into the Noche UFC event after facing a ban from attending UFC events.
Interestingly, when Dana White was asked about Paul’s presence at the Noche UFC, he suggested that Paul was welcome there. The UFC boss cited the example of rival Oscar De La Hoya attending the event. However, the 27-year-old boxer later revealed that this statement was untrue. As such, the ‘Problem Child’ even confirmed that he is still banned from attending UFC events.
He’s just saying that to make it seem like I wasn’t banned. But he definitely has sent an email to me saying I’m trespassing at all UFC events and I’m not welcome back, etcetera. So, of course, it’s Dana doing what he does best, which is lie…

Jake Paul and UFC CEO Dana White have had a contentious relationship for quite some time. Interestingly, this eventually led to Paul being banned from UFC events. One of the reasons for this ban was the Problem Child’s heated exchanges with UFC color commentator Daniel Cormier.
However, their feud stretches back even further. In his criticism of Dana White, Paul even released a diss track aimed at him. Their two-year-long conflict shows no signs of resolution, as both continue to exchange disparaging remarks about each other.

Recently, Paul has frequently criticized the UFC CEO for paying fighters relatively low wages. In response, Dana White has berated Paul’s upcoming fight against boxing legend Mike Tyson. Per the UFC CEO, it is an unnecessary matchup. Despite this, Paul admires the matchup and views it as one of the most significant moments of his career.
Jake Paul respects the opportunity to fight against a legend
Jake Paul’s professional boxing career has faced intense scrutiny. One major reason is his tendency to fight against retired MMA and boxing professionals, a practice that has drawn criticism from many in the sports community. The Problem Child will soon face Mike Tyson, another retired boxer. The reactions from fight fans and the community regarding this matchup have been similar to those seen in the past.
One reason for the backlash within the community is the age difference between Paul and Tyson. Despite this, the 27-year-old boxer recognizes the significance of this fight for his emerging career. As such, he is even excited about the opportunity to share the ring with a legend like Tyson.
If you love the sport of boxing and you did have the opportunity to fight a legend, it is an honor to step into there with one of the three biggest legends in the history sport…
