Following his boxing fight against Mike Tyson last Friday, Jake Paul took a dig at UFC CEO Dana White over his comments about the controversial boxing event.

Internet sensation turned professional boxer Jake Paul took part in what will go down as one of the greatest combat sports events of all time last Friday, defeating Mike Tyson via decision.

In a recent press release, Netflix announced that over 60 million households worldwide watched the event, making it one of the most successful martial arts events of all time.

Jake Paul slams UFC CEO Dana White for his post-fight comments

Although the two events did not compete on the same day, UFC 309 took place just one day after 'The Problem Child's monumental boxing event.

In response to Paul's actions against UFC CEO Tyson, Dana White said at the post-fight press conference of UFC 309: “Mike Tyson was right, and I was wrong… I told him, 'Mike, you're actually 60 years old', and he says: 'Do you really think this boy is going to hurt me?'

“You saw him, he stumbled walking to the ring, he had trouble walking up, he had a knee brace on and Jake Paul couldn't do anything to him. He made a ton of money… Mike Tyson is the A+++ side of that thing,” White added.

White and Paul have been feuding constantly online over the 27-year-old's boxing career and 'The Problem Child' hit back at White for his comments about his fight against Tyson.

“Dana White has been a boxing promoter his entire career. All these nut riders need to do their research. His TV show failed. I couldn't sell 4K tickets in Dublin with that useless Irish boxer he's promoting. And he's not the first fighter.

“He's Dana first. Builds you up and breaks you down. Now Conor McGregor is a hostage. Free Conor,” Paul continued in a tweet on X.

Callum Walsh calls out Jake Paul after 'useless Irish boxer' jibe

The 'useless Irish boxer' who caught a stray during Paul's rant about White is Callum Walsh. The UFC boss has managed and promoted Walsh since the early days of his boxing career.

The undefeated Irishman recently fought at the 3Arena in Dublin and the fight was broadcast live on UFC Fight Pass, promoted and attended by White.

The 23-year-old defended himself against Paul's comments and responded with a message on X (formerly Twitter), calling out 'The Problem Child' for a fight.

“The 'useless Irish boxer' has won more than you can ever imagine, over 140 amateur fights and now 12-0 as a pro, unlike you 11-1, fighting old retired men and the only boxer the same age as you. You know where I am,” Walsh fired back.

Although 'King' Walsh is hopeful that he could potentially be Paul's next selected opponent, the Irishman fights at 154 pounds, unlike Paul who tends to fight around 200 pounds.

The 27-year-old is boldly hopeful of securing a cruiserweight title fight against boxing champion Canelo Alvarez next.
