Vitor Belfort says he’s Jake Paul’s ‘daddy’, wants to ‘teach that boy a lesson’

Vitor Belfort is going all-in on his proposed $30 million ‘winner-takes-all’ boxing match against Jake Paul, proclaiming that he is Paul’s ‘daddy’.

Belfort, who called out Paul following his first-round TKO victory over Evander Holyfield at the weekend, doubled down on his offer in a recent interview with TMZ Sports.

“I’d like to teach that boy a lesson. Your parents give you behaviors and all that, so he’s gonna meet his big daddy,” Belfort said.

Paul, 24, doubts Triller’s offer is genuine but ‘The Phenom’ says they have the cash.

“And, if he likes money, we got big money,” he said.
