Jake Paul delivers $30m pledge to Will Smith and Chris Rock after Oscars smack

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Jake Paul has offered Will Smith and Chris Rock an equal split of $30m (£27.3m) to settle their differences in the ring following their Oscars altercation.

The American - the fierce rival of Tommy Fury - said he’d give them a slot on his undercard during his next fight in August, for which an opponent has not yet been named.

Paul, 25, was reacting to Smith aggressively slapping comedian Rock after making a joke about wife Jada Pinckett Smith. Sal Vulcano, who stars in the hit US prank TV show 'Impractical Jokers', had jokingly tweeted about “how much Jake Paul is gonna offer Chris Rock and Will Smith for a boxing PPV?" The YouTuber - who has a 5-0 professional boxing record - jested back: "I got $15m for Will Smith and $15m for Chris Rock ready to go.

Let’s do it in August on my undercard." READ MORE: When is Patrice Evra boxing fight?
