Amir Khan, a former British boxer, has cautioned that Jake Paul is risking his life in his fight against Anthony Joshua.
Jake Paul, known for his bravery, will face two-time heavyweight champion Joshua on December 19 in Miami.
Speaking to iFL TV, Khan suggested the fight showed a lack of respect for the dangers of the sport.
“Look, first of all, I think [MVP co-founder] Nakisa hates Jake Paul because he wants him dead I think. He really wants to see his own friend, his childhood friend, hurt. That’s wrong, he’s chasing the money.

“He’s put my man in the firing line against a heavyweight champion who can hurt him and literally cause him problems in the future as well.
“AJ hitting him with that big right hand. Oof. If AJ hits him with a shot like he hit Ngannou and knocked him clean out. Even Ngannou would knock Jake Paul out.
“You can’t mess with the sport of boxing. Boxing is a sport you have to respect. You’re one punch away from getting hurt. Something bad is going to happen one day and they’re going to regret it.”
