Jake Paul accuses Dana White of welching on bet

Jake Paul reiterated allegations that UFC president Dana White opposed his early boxing rise, a dispute drawing renewed attention after Paul's December knockout loss to Anthony Joshua. Paul told Complex that Dana White backed Ben Askren ahead of their 2021 bout and, he claims, attempted a seven-figure wager on Askren to win. He further alleges White supported Askren's training camp and failed to settle the bet after Paul's first-round knockout. Paul also referenced the UFC's early no-weight-class era, citing Keith Hackney vs. Emmanuel Yarborough. White previously said he was surprised Paul vs. Joshua happened and said those involved should be embarrassed. The video focuses on Paul's claims and White's public remarks to date.
