CALLUM WALSH is ready to fight Jake Paul for FREE – just to shut him up on behalf of UFC boss Dana White.
Walsh has found himself in an online feud with YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul – who has taken aim at White in the past.

Paul has been critical of White’s pay structure in the UFC and his promotion of 14-0 boxer Walsh.
But the Irish super-welterweight prospect hit back at Paul – who beat Mike Tyson last year and faces lightweight Gervonta Davis next.
And Walsh is even willing to forfeit what would be a mega-payday just to silence the brash and outspoken Paul.
“It’s just random, he always just talks s*** about me and Dana,” Walsh told SunSport.
“He just says like, ‘Oh, Dana’s been promoting for this long and I’m going nowhere.’
“But at the end of the day I’m 14-0, I’m co-main event of Canelo-Crawford and he’s fighting retired fighters.
“He was asked questions about me and he was like, I’m useless and all this, but he’s just a piece of s***.
“He was like, ‘He would never fight me, he’d hide behind the weight.’ But I’d fight him no bother, no problem.
Canelo vs Crawford – All the info
IT’S finally time – one of the biggest boxing matches EVER takes place THIS WEEKEND.
Two of boxing’s GOATs will meet in the ring as they fight for pound-for-pound supremacy and the super-middleweight crown.
Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford have been fixtures in the top of the rankings for years and are considered among the best to ever do it.
Unbeaten Crawford, who beat Israil Madrimov to win the light-middleweight title last time out, hasn’t fought for a year.
He is jumping up two weight divisions to meet Canelo, having spent most of his career weighing in even lighter.
Mexican favourite Canelo has scored title defences over Edgar Berlanga and William Scull since Crawford was last inside a ring.

“I’d fight him, especially the money they’re giving too. Anyway, I’d fight it for free just to prove a point.
“But yeah, he’s just always talking s***, so I go back and forth with him a little bit. But at the end of the day, I don’t think he’d ever do it.”
Walsh, 24, faces Fernando Vargas Jr, 28, in Saturday in the chief support of Canelo Alvarez’s super-fight with Terence Crawford.
Meanwhile Paul, 28, is now 12-1 in his career and most recently beat ex-middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, in June.
But he has drawn criticism for his choice of opponents – having brought Tyson out of retirement aged 58 last year.
And he returns on November 14 in an exhibition against Davis, 30, who is FIVE STONE lighter than him.
Walsh – trained by the great Freddie Roach – scoffed at Paul’s boxing record and said he is ready to make him pay for his verbal attacks on White.
“I’d definitely do it if it came to me, I would do it. No problem,” he said.
