During the height of his career he weighed as much as 36 STONE and only ever went past the fourth round once – against the great Larry Holmes.
His last boxing bout was in 2013 but Butterbean has teased a comeback in recent years having lost a stunning 14 STONE.
And YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul is his target opponent as he laid down his latest challenge.
Butterbean, 57, said on TikTok: “Hey Jake Paul, would you fight me for $2m [£1.5m]? Winner takes all.”
The American had over 100 fights across boxing, kickboxing and MMA while even having a run in pro wrestling.
Butterbean lost the huge amount of weight after starring in a TV show alongside former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page.
He had 91 boxing bouts – compared to just the 11 of 10-1 Paul.
The social media sensation’s only loss came in 2023 against Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, 25, in Saudi Arabia.

Paul, 27, has won four since, most recently stopping ex-UFC star and bare-knuckle boxer Mike Perry, 32, in six rounds.
Perry had filled in for Mike Tyson after the heavyweight legend, 58, pulled out amid a health precaution.
But Tyson’s controversial clash with Paul is now rescheduled for November 15 in Texas.
