Rick Ross says he’s willing to put up $10m (£8.4m) of his own money in order to make the next Jake Paul fight happen.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul has been blighted by a series of bouts that have all fallen through.
Hasim Rahman Jr, son of former heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman, was due to fight Paul at Madison Square Garden on 6 August but the event was cancelled due to a weight dispute between the two Americans.
Rahman Jr was already a replacement challenger after Paul’s original opponent Tommy Fury – half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson and Love Island contestant – withdrew due to travel issues.
On Instagram Monday (22 August), rapper Ross – who is friends with Paul – shared a selfie with the YouTuber alongside the caption: “Since everyone seems to be afraid to fight @jakepaul Im down to put another 10million on top to make the right match happen. What fight would you want to see?”
