Jake Paul offered Chris Eubank Jr ringside seats to his fight against Anderson Silva in a quickly-deleted tweet. The 33-year-old was set to take on Conor Benn in a generational clash this Saturday at the O2 Arena, but the fight is now in jeopardy following a positive drug test returned by Benn.Paul heard the news and cheekily offered Eubank Jr an opportunity to watch his upcoming bout with UFC legend Anderson Silva later this month in a tweet after the pair had previously bickered online.

He wrote: "Chris I got front row seats for you for #PaulSilva October 29th. Come see if you really want to do this."This comes after Eubank Jr offered to fight the YouTuber-turned boxer after his battle with Hasim Rahman Jr, 31, was axed amid a weight dispute at the end of July.

The former IBO super-middleweight champ would be keen on stepping into the ring with ‘The Problem Child’, but only for an eye-watering sum of £20million.
