Former boxing world champion wants to \u201cbeat up\u201d Jake Paul after coming out of retirement Instagram\/jakepaulFormer unified super-lightweight champion Amir Khan is ready to step out of retirement to take on Jake Paul for the influencer\u2019s next boxing match. Jake Paul has made a big name for himself in the influencer boxing scene, having bested numerous UFC legends such as Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley, but now, a former boxing icon wants his shot at The Problem Child. In Paul\u2019s short career so far, he\u2019s only suffered one loss, that coming via split decision against Tommy Fury \u2013 who also happens to be the only true-blue boxer he\u2019s battled in the ring. That could change, though, if Amir Khan has his way. Speaking on Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Amanda, Khan revealed he would \u201clove\u201d to come out of retirement to \u201cbeat up\u201d Jake Paul, despite hanging up his gloves last year after being KO\u2019d by Kell Brook. Amir Khan would \u201clove\u201d to fight Jake Paul in boxing return According to the former world champion, Jake Paul isn\u2019t exactly on his good side, claiming the influencer \u201cgets on his nerves.\u201d \u201cI think the way he conducts himself the way he acts and he\u2019s just full of himself as well, and he thinks he can fight. He\u2019s only been boxing for like a year, so yeah, I\u2019d love to fight him,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s been very lucky though. He\u2019s a little bit heavier than me, but I don\u2019t mind putting the pounds on just to beat him up.\u201d If the two were to meet in the ring, Paul would have a sizable height advantage and reach advantage, but that doesn\u2019t seem to faze the former boxing star. So far, there\u2019s no word on who Jake Paul will be fighting next, but a bout with KSI could be in the cards depending on the outcome of the British rapper\u2019s match against Tommy Fury. UFC legend Luke Rockhold is also eager to battle Jake and is guaranteeing victory, saying he\u2019d put his entire paycheck on the line. In any case, there\u2019s certainly no shortage of opponents for The Problem Child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
