He said on The MMA Hour: “When you look at Jake Paul, he’s been training for years.

“I just want to see him actually fight a real fighter, At this point in time.

“Any real boxer. Not an MMA fighter that you’re bigger than. Somebody your weight. Get him a real fight. Test him out.

“Not somebody in the top-10, just a real fighter that we can say, ‘OK, Jake, you fought such and such, he was ranked 15,’ or something, and we can gauge from there.”;
