Jake Paul challenges ‘horrid boxer’ Sean Strickland; Former UFC champ responds with death threat

Jake Paul’s $1 million fight challenge to Sean Strickland took a dark turn in a nasty back-and-forth on social media.

Former UFC middleweight champion [autotag]Sean Strickland[/autotag] is no stranger to riling people up, and one of his latest actions caught the eye of [autotag]Jake Paul[/autotag].

Strickland recently sparred with Sneako, which in reality, was just a one-sided beatdown that left the streamer bruised and bloodied. Paul took exception to the footage that was posted online, prompting the YouTuber-turned-boxer to issue a challenge of his own.

“The Problem Child” called Strickland “embarrassing” and a “horrid boxer” for his actions against Sneako. Paul challenged Strickland to travel to Puerto Rico for a fight, and if the former UFC champion wins, he will take home a $1 million prize.

It didn’t take long for Strickland to offer his reply, in which he took a shot at Paul for losing to Tommy Fury. Strickland also accepted the challenge, but things took a dark turn from that point, as the former UFC champ said he would kill Paul if it were legal.
