The YouTube celebrity is already mulling over an end to his supposed retirement.

Jake Paul has been offered $30 million to return to the ring to fight Vitor Belfort.

The offer was made after the MMA fighter knocked down and stopped 58-year-old Evander Holyfield in the first round.

Triller promoter Ryan Kavanaugh and Belfort reacted to what was a disappointing spectacle on Saturday night by swiftly turning their attention to the 24-year-old YouTuber.

"$25m, the winner takes all! Jake Paul stop running from me, man," Belfort exclaimed

Kavanaugh put forward an offer for a Thanksgiving fight: "$30m, winner takes all. If Jake says no, we know why."

Belfort continued, telling Paul: "I'm going to teach you a lesson.

"All your little fans will become Vitor fans.

"I come to knock people out. You bring it? I bring it harder.

"He has earned respect but he's still a Disney World kid."

Paul’s most recent fight was against Tyron Woodley and while he retired in the aftermath, he quickly talked up a potential fight with Tommy Fury in his next fight.
