Pointless star Richard Osman has offered to fight YouTuber Jake Paul – for £100 million.
Author Richard, 53, says he’d get in the ring with the American boxer, 27, if the money was right. Richard, author of The Thursday Murder Club series, says at 6ft 7ins he’d have a fighting chance.
He made the revelation on his The Rest Is Entertainment podcast. Discussing Tommy Fury, Osman said: “He didn’t make a lot out of the actual boxing.

“You know what? One night in Vegas with Jake Paul, just, you know… Hit me for 100 million, I’ll do it.
“Yeah, I’m six foot seven, mate.
“I could take him, no. I think he’d probably… I think Jake Paul would beat me in a fight.
“I think he would. But, you know, a couple of million. I’d be happy to do that. Yeah.”
But before he maybe turns his attention to Osman, Paul has a fight with none other than Iron Mike Tyson.
The pair were all set to throw down last month, but Tyson had to duck out after an ulcer got the better of him just two months before the scheduled scrap.
The fight’s been shoved back to November, and in the meantime, Paul’s been keeping his fists busy by decking bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry, who jumped in for Tyson.
Tyson’s now fighting fit again and didn’t shy away from laying hands on Paul during a face-off that followed a presser. The heavyweight legend gave Paul a shove that sent the YouTube sensation stumbling back, but Paul wasn’t having any of it, shoving right back.
