Jake Paul claims Dana White has issues with both cocaine and prostitutes
Paul, who headlines a Showtime Boxing event in Miami, Florida – was originally slated to meet with the 7-0 Tommy Fury this weekend, until a rib injury and cold ruled the Manchester native from the boxing grudge match.
In Fury’s place, the former UFC welterweight champion, Woodley has stepped up and secured a rematch with Ohio native, Paul following their initial fight back in August, where the latter retained his undefeated record courtesy of a split decision win.
Speaking with In Depth host, Graham Bensinger, the YouTube sensation took to shot at White and alleged that the Connecticut-born promoter has issues involving cocaine abuse and prostitution whilst discussing a potential fight with former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor:
“I think Dana White is the obstacle, number one,” Jake Paul told . “You know, if Dana would let Conor (McGregor) out of his contract, to set up a boxing match, I think that’s what is needed to make it happen. And I think that will – I think that will happen. If Conor is, you know, just gonna continue to lose fights – he’s lost – he’s 1-4 in the past five years. So if he’s gonna continue to lose, there’s not much Dana’s gonna be able to do with him anyway. So, cash him out one more time. …”
“I think it’s (a feud) personal for him (Dana White),” Jake Paul said. “Because, he’s this old guy, who clearly is this control freak. And I’m the only one that’s able to get under his skin…. Yeah, the coke like, smeared across my face – and the coke bag says ‘UFC – Unlimited Free Cocaine’ because, I mean, everyone knows about Dana’s coke issue and all the hookers and sh*t. I’m just a young kid having fun….”
Paul, who holds a 4-0 record, has had a long-standing rivalry with White, questioning the organizational president on many issues under his promotion’s banner – most notably the issue of fighter pay. While, White asked a woman to assault Paul.
Paul had previously questioned why high-level UFC fighters and champions were earning considerably less money than their professional boxing counterparts, as well as donating money to now-promotional alum, Sarah Alpar’s GoFundMe page before he release from the organization.
