DANA WHITE said Jake Paul has ‘ZERO’ chance of beating Conor McGregor and told the YouTuber: ‘Fight a real fight’.
Paul has continued to challenge McGregor in an attempt to lure the former UFC champion into the boxing ring.
As a result, it has seen him publicly feuding with UFC president White.
The promoter hit out at Paul and his choice of opponents while speaking to social media stars Nelk boys.
White said: “He’s calling out Conor. Conor’s a 145-pound champion and a 155-pound champion.
“You’re f***ing way bigger than Conor.”
Asked about Paul’s chances of winning against McGregor, White said: “Zero.”
Paul, 24, is 3-0 as a boxer, all by knockout, since his professional debut in 2020 but has so far faced limited opposition.
He has beaten online rival ‘AnEsonGib’ and ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and most recently retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.
Paul faces his biggest step up on August 29 against Tyron Woodley, 39, a former UFC champion.
But still White is yet to be convinced by the polarising celebrity, who has not yet fought a seasoned boxer.
He said: “The media is not really following as much as they did in the beginning.
“The stick is getting old, you know what I mean? I think for him to get the media back he’s gonna have to really fight somebody.
“Because they’re tired of it. They’re tired of the stick, ‘Hey it’s me, I weigh 190 and I want to fight these guys that weigh 170, 155, one-f***ing whatever and they are wrestling, they are 40-f***ing years old and they haven’t won a fight in three f****g years.
“If you want to be taken seriously by the media he needs to fight a real fight.”
