JAKE PAUL was offered a $30 million Thanksgiving winner-takes-all fight with Vitor Belfort.
After Evander Holyfield, an ageing and returning UFC champion, beat Belfort in one round, the announcement was made.

Ryan Kavanaugh is the head of Triller's Fight Club and has even added $5m to his mega-millionaire status.
He stated that Triller was agreeing to a pro fight between Vitor and Jake Paul. The winner will be worth 25 million.
"And we want to it on Thanksgiving Day at the one year anniversary, Thanksgiving Saturday.
"Thirty-million, winner-takes all, Jake said no, but we know why."
Paul, 24 years old, made his debut on January 2020. He defeated online rival AnEsonGib in just one round.
His two next knockout wins came with Triller. He first defeated ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, then Ben Askren.
Paul's record improved to 4-0 in August with his biggest win, a points verdict of eight rounds against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley.
It was his first fight under the new US deal with Showtime. This made it difficult for Triller to return to Triller’s pay-per view platform.
After beating Holyfield (58) in one round, Belfort, 44 called out the YouTuber.
He said, "Hey Jake Paul, stop running away from me, man. I will teach you a lesson.
"You can be my child, you're going over here to Triller with daddy. Don't run."
After ten years, Holyfield was making his comeback and it was dangerously high.
After an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr., 52, Mike Tyson, 55 announced his plans to return to the ring last year. The match ended in a draw at Triller.
After talks with Tyson ended, he accepted to replace Oscar De La Hoya (48), who had pulled out of fighting Belfort's coronavirus.
Holyfield was not licensed by the California State Athletic Commission, so Triller had to leave California to take up residence in Florida.
The American boxing legend, who lost the fight, disputed the stoppage saying: "I believe it was a poor call."
"I don’t believe the referee should've stopped the fight so quickly."
