Jake Paul has just announced the date of his next fight, with Snoop Dogg confirmed as the commentator for the bout.
The YouTuber and influencer confirmed that his next fight will take place on April 17, although he did not specify the location.
Jake Paul recently called out Connor McGregor in this Twitter rant:Per Sky Sports, although Paul did not confirm who his opponent would be, he stated that his next bout would take place during an event called "The Fight Club", hosted by the rapper Snoop Dogg, available to watch on the social networking app Triller.
Per Sky, Jake said in an official statement:
"Hate me or love me, you can't stop me. April 17th, I headline a global PPV event and I am getting my third knock-out in a row. I look to prove to the world that I am and I will remain one of the biggest names in this sport."
Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg stated:
"Jake Paul had viewers around the globe shocked during his last fight, which led to an unforgettable KO. Like the last event hosted by Triller, this fight will have fans talking for months."
This comes just a few weeks after Paul took to social media to share a protracted and profane rant against Irish UFC fighter Conor McGregor, stating:
"Good morning, Conor McGregor. I know you are probably beating up old dudes in a bar right now or maybe you are jacking off because you are sick of f***ing your wife right now because she is a four.
"Conor you could do a lot better. But happy Monday. My team sent you a 50 million dollar offer this morning, 50 million dollars cash, proof of funds, the biggest fight offer you've ever been offered, but you are scared to fight me Conor, you are ducking me because you don't want to lose to a f****** YouTuber.
"You are a 0-1 as a boxer, I'm 2-0 as a boxer. I just came off the eighth biggest pay-per-view event in history, but you want to fight Dustin Prober [Poirier] who has less followers on Instagram than my f****** dog, that's a fact."
Responding to Paul's public antagonism toward him in an interview with BT Sport, McGregor stated: "You know, that is what it is."
"We’ll see what happens, he seems like a confused little kid to me, to be honest. He’s willing to get in there, I don’t know what’ll happen, it’s not on the radar at the minute with the young lad.
“I know, I have a teammate [Dylan Moran]. Him and Dylan have been back-and-forth, so you never know."
