Pointless host Richard Osman offers to fight Jake Paul for £100m in Las Vegas
Jake Paul has been called out by TV host Richard Osman, who joked that he would be willing to fight the YouTube star for £100million
Towering TV host Richard Osman has humorously challenged Jake Paul to a £100m boxing match. Despite his success in the ring against former UFC stars Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, Paul found himself the target of Osman's jests.
Speaking on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast about Tommy Fury's victory over Paul last year, Osman quipped: "He didn't make a lot out of the actual boxing. He made a lot out of the pretend boxing with KSI and Jake Paul.
"If I say pretend boxing, maybe Jake Paul will call me out. You know what? One night in Vegas with Jake Paul, just, you know... Hit me for 100 million, I'll do it. Yeah, I'm six foot seven, mate.

"I could take him, no. I think he'd probably... I think Jake Paul would beat me in a fight. I think he would. But, you know, a couple of million. I'd be happy to do that. Yeah."
Meanwhile, Paul is preparing for his upcoming bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson on November 15, which was rescheduled from July 20 due to Tyson suffering an ulcer flare-up. At a recent press conference, Tyson promised to end the YouTuber's boxing career, stating: "We've got a YouTuber fighting the greatest fighter who ever lived.
"He may have been in the ring with people who have the same intentions, but the actuality, no. As soon as I catch this guy it's going to be totally over, he's going to run."
Paul, who boasts a 10-1 record as a professional boxer, has boldly predicted that he will knock Tyson out. He declared: "This is history; everyone is saying I'm going to get knocked out buy what happens when I put this man to sleep?
"He's saying its going to be my funeral, he's saying it's going to be my wake, he's going to kill Jake Paul... I respect Mike Tyson but we're not friends anymore, I'm knocking this motherf***er out and we'll see who's dead."
