Gerwyn Price vs Jake Paul – in the boxing ring?!
After some back and forth between the two, Price told talkSport that Paul – who has won 11 of his 12 fights, including against Mike Tyson last November – messaged him asking him to “name a price”.
Price – in action every Thursday live on Sky Sports during the Premier League Darts season – is yet to reply to Paul, saying: “I was a bit scared! No, I need to get some training in.”

The Iceman had previously said about Paul on talkSPORT: “He’s a YouTuber, he’s not a fighter, is he? I think it would just be one punch, and it would be all over. Out cold.
“It would be a waste of money for people to tune in. He’ll never beat me in Wales. Nobody beats me in Wales. He’d probably beat Canelo [Alvarez] but he’s not beating me, no.”
