Conor McGregor v Jake Paul boxing fight labelled 's***' as former boxer breaks bout down
Jake Paul called out Conor McGregor after his win over Mike Tyson
Carl Froch would love to see Conor McGregor submit Jake Paul in an MMA fight, but says a boxing bout between the pair would be a gimmick.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul called out McGregor after his win over Mike Tyson last week, stating that he would be open to facing the former two-weight UFC champion in MMA.
Hall of Fame boxer Froch, who branded Paul a 'TikTok dancer' also revealed it would be like 'taking candy from a baby' if he ever fought the 27-year-old.

"If it’s in a boxing ring, it’s a gimmick fight because that’s a fight where you’ve got Jake Paul and Conor McGregor, a legend in the MMA world. If that fight was in the cage, you would tune in to watch Jake Paul get his leg snapped in half or get in a chokehold and watch him tap out. But if you put him in a boxing ring, it’s probably a fight Jake Paul wins dare I say," Froch told Action Network.
"McGregor can’t box but it’s not a fight that’s any good. Who the f*** wants to watch Jake Paul run and hold against Conor McGregor where Conor is trying to throw punches but with no power like when he fought Floyd Mayweather? It’s just s***.
"I’d watch it the next day with the highlights like I did with Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. I got up in the morning and I wasn’t excited to see who won or who lost but to see if there was a chance to see if Mike Tyson had lost the plot and gone for it by chinning him.
"That’s what a lot of people were hoping with something controversial to happen but in reality, it looked like Mike Tyson didn’t even try, and he wasn’t capable even if he did try.
"Maybe if he did try, he might’ve done Jake Paul inside a round but in reality, it’s all a fix and a big con. I can’t believe people still buy into it. I did a report on it because it’s big news for whatever reason on my YouTube and it got big numbers.
!Me and Jake Paul have had a bit of beef going back and forth. He tries to pretend he doesn’t know who I am, but he’s mentioned me three or four times so when people ask me about my opinion on Jake Paul, I give it.
"He doesn’t like that and pretends he doesn’t know who I am, but he knows who the Cobra is and he knows to stay well away from me in any fighting capacity, whether it’s on the cobbles or in a boxing ring. I expose him for what he is, he is a professional p*** taker, professional TikTok dancer, content creator and a YouTuber.
"That’s all he is and that’s all he ever will be. He’s trying to be accepted as a fighter because he trains every day and gets in there, throws punchers, but he looks sluggish, slow, can’t fight and just embarrassed himself in front of Mike Tyson. Even a 47-year-old Carl Froch would beat him, it would be like taking candy from a baby. "
