"Let’s be honest, Jake Paul isn’t a f**king boxer. This guy is a f**king YouTube kid. Zab (Judah), no bulls**t. You are hanging out with the kid. You know him. You’re saying he can fight? So, the kid he is going to fight is a wrestler, decorated wrestler. But he’s actually fought real guys. He’s been a world champion in other organizations in MMA. I hope you can bet on this thing because I will bet a million dollars that he loses this f**king fight. I bet a million dollars that he loses this fight."
