JAKE PAUL has agreed to rematch Anderson Silva under kickboxing rules if he loses their fight after making a bet live on stage.
The YouTuber-turned boxer returns over the weekend in Arizona for his first bout in ten months.
Paul last fought in December, knocking out Tyron Woodley, 40, four months after beating the ex-UFC champion on points.
Beforehand, they agreed the loser would get the winner’s name tattooed on them, with Woodley briefly getting Paul inked on his finger.
For the American’s return, he raised the stakes by suggesting he goes into Silva’s world should he suffer defeat.
The ex-UFC champion has retired from MMA so called for a sequel to take place in the kickboxing ring instead.
But Paul wants the Brazilian to help launch a fighter’s union if he is victorious in Glendale.
He said: “If I win, me and you come together to create a united fighters association to help UFC fighters get better pay and better health care.
“You come become the interim president and we united to help these fighters once and for all.”
Paul, 25, has rivalled UFC president in the past and been critical of the MMA promotion’s pay and health care system.

But he also wants boxers to receive help in retirement and called out stars of the past and present to get involved.
He said: “I think it should be all MMA and all boxing. It should just help all fighters, because that’s truly what needed.”
Paul added: “We need all the help we can get.
“People will need to be selfless and use their platforms to create this and make it an amazing thing that is forever.
“This is not just a ten-year thing, this is not a couple years, this is something that can stand forever.”
