Paddy Pimblett Counters Jake Paul Offer To Spar, Meet Me In Vegas This Week!

UFC star Paddy The Baddy” Pimblett is reacting to Jake Paul‘s $1 million sparring difficulty … informing us he’s 100% to box the Issue Kid today in Las Vegas!

The 27-year-old UFC star signed up with Babcock on the “TMZ Sports” television program (airs weekdays on FS1) … where he was inquired about 25-year-old Paul’s deal to spar, and whether he’s genuinely interested.

“Of course [I’m interested], but I’m under contract by the UFC and [Jake] said this knowing full well I’m fighting next week, know what I mean?” Paddy stated.

“As if he does not know I’m fighting next week and he’s like, ‘I’ll fly you to Puerto Rico.’ Come to the PI next week. Come to the [UFC Performance Institute] next week and bring $1 million in a bag and I will spar with you.”

“I’m in the PI in Vegas on Thursday, I land on Thursday, so even though I’m low on calories and I’m only about 170, he likes picking on smaller people anyway,” he included. “But, if he wants to wait until after my fight, until the Monday, because I’m still in Vegas ’til the Tuesday, but I’m about 185, 190 pounds, I’m game!”

“Tell him not to worry, he can come to PI and we can get in the cage. Simple as.”

“I have a proposition for you. Since you wouldn’t rig a fight, right? Let’s spar. Fly to Puerto Rico. I’ll get you a private jet. We can do 5, 3-minute rounds, boxing. If you win, I’ll give you a million dollars,” Jake stated.

“But, if I win you have to join the United Fighters Association and help me sign up all the fighters in the UK. Let’s spar. Since you wouldn’t rig a fight. A million for you. Put your money where your mouth is. Let’s go.”

As Paddy stated, he can’t remain in Puerto Rico next week due to the fact that he’s the co-main occasion at UFC 282 on December 10 (he’s combating Jared Gordon) at the T-Mobile Arena. However, he’s down to spar in Sin City.

Regardless of the garbage talk originating from both people, Pimblett was rather complimentary of Jake’s capabilities in the ring (6-0, 5 KOs).

“I don’t even think he’s a bad boxer. I think he’s a decent boxer now ’cause all he’s done is boxing in the past two years. I think he’d beat Tommy Fury. I know he wouldn’t beat me.”

Paddy likewise sent out a message to Jake … in case they were to set a genuine bout, and not simply spar.
