Michael Bisping has laid out the challenge to Jake Paul.
Bisping and Paul have been going back-and-forth in recent weeks over the prospect of a boxing fight.
With Paul being the one to initially call him out, the YouTuber-turned-boxer recently told Bisping to show that he can get licensed to box with one eye and face him in a lucrative payday.
Dear @bisping,
I challenge you to stop hosting your struggling podcast, get licensed to fight, and box me.
Let’s see if that UFC belt and all the respect you have can help you beat me in a boxing match. pic.twitter.com/9Bv0bDTK1E

I would knock you out worse than Hendo. You’re an easy fight. But show me you can get licensed and I will show you $1M plus PPV… 👀 (using this emoji because Bisping can’t use it lololololol) https://t.co/gu0tL9Pn0R

Michael Bisping To Jake Paul: Ball’s In Your Court
While Bisping is not too keen on fighting Paul, he certainly obliged.
The former UFC middleweight champion revealed on his podcast that the Tsuut’ina Combat Sports Commission in Alberta, Canada, contacted him and said they would not only host the fight, but also commission Bisping to compete.
“Guess what? He [Paul] says that if I can get licensed, he will fight me,” Bisping said. “I don’t want to fight Jake Paul. I don’t. But guess what? I know a few people. I haven’t been around this fight game this long to not have contacts.
“I’m talking about the Grey Eagle Resort & Casino, the 7 Chiefs Sportsplex & Chief Jim Starlight Centre, Alberta Travel Tourism board. The Tsuut’ina Combat Sports Commission have messaged me and said 100% that they would host that fight and they would commission me with one eye. So, Mr. Jake Paul, I guess the ball’s in your f*cking court.
However, Bisping reiterated that he didn’t really want the fight.
“I don’t want to fight him, I don’t. I’m not lowering myself to that,” he added while laughing.
Your move @jakepaul 🙂 pic.twitter.com/mZPvL4kfrh

Bisping would also share the commission’s message on Twitter to Paul which led to the following exchange.
“Bisping, post legal confirmation that you are not under UFC contract and I will get you a contract. You retired in 2017 and Dana still got you by the balls. And we fight where I tell you we fight,” Paul tweeted in response.
Bisping responded soon after:
“Jake The Pretender Paul @jakepaul first it was fight me, then was show me you can get licensed and now it’s show me you’re not under contract. Mate I wouldn’t give you the steam off my piss.Just accept the Anderson Silva fight which I KNOW for a fact has been offered. Jake???”
