Jake Paul has agreed to take part in a bet along with rapper Rick Ross that Miami Dolphins will win next year's Super Bowl.
Paul is becoming an increasingly high-profile figure in the world of sport and has launched a successful career in the boxing ring which has seen him win five professional fights so far. After rising to fame on YouTube, Paul is keen to dip his toes in a number of sports including MMA and the NFL.
The NFL season is set to get back underway on September 8 as fans are beginning to issue their predictions on who will make this year's Super Bowl which will take place on Sunday February 12. Paul has been hosting a new podcast on his media outlet Betr called BS with Jake Paul, which has this week seen successful musician Rick Ross in attendance.
And the pair have agreed to a mammoth bet, with Ross first suggesting: "I believe if we bet a million on Miami Dolphins to pay us it will bring us $36 million. Paul then says: "Me and you could go on it together although I am not confident about it." He then proposed a dice is rolled and if the number lands on four, the pair will place the bet.
The pair toasted with their drinks before Ross rolls the dice and it lands on a four which appears to confirm the bet will be placed. Paul and Ross simultaneously rose to their feet together and are applauded before they agree the lucrative wager on the Miami outfit.
The YouTube star had trained with the Dallas Cowboys earlier this year and has recently spent time in the Dolphins' camp ahead of the beginning of the competitive season. Dolphins have had a good pre-season so far defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles after their marginal defeat to Las Vegas Raiders in their return outing.

Paul has spoken himself about playing in the NFL and has even teased which position he would play if he was to be given the opportunity. "Right now obviously boxing is the focus and it takes up so much time, but I would love to act and I have some ideas for some movies and stuff like that," he said.
"I like action comedy. That's always my favourite. And that's like the roles I sort of see myself playing after boxing. I'm either gonna go to the NFL or, or become an actor, I'm still deciding, but those are my to-do list." He later added: “Slot receiver I would play, I’ve got hands.
“If you get me some of those sticky Nike gloves, I’ll be up in there scoring touch downs and you’re going to see me on SportsCenter’s highlight reel.”
