‘Irresponsible’ Ladbrokes ad featuring Jake Paul banned by regulator

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury face off in the ring at the OVO Arena, Wembley (PA)

An “irresponsible” tweet by Ladbrokes has been banned for featuring Jake Paul, a YouTuber and professional boxer who is a favourite among teenagers.

The ad on the bookmaker’s Twitter feed, seen in February, featured an image of Paul and a caption saying: “@TommyTNTFury beat @JakePaul by split decision last night. So, we’ve got to ask the question… What’s next for Jake Paul? Vote here now.”
