Conor McGregor flags danger for Jake Paul against Anthony Joshua

Conor McGregor has warned Jake Paul that facing Anthony Joshua could be a serious risk. McGregor, speaking from his Dublin pub, believes Joshua’s power makes the matchup potentially dangerous for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

Paul is moving up from cruiserweight to heavyweight to face the two-time unified champion, but McGregor sees a real threat in Joshua’s knockout ability and mental edge. Speaking in an interview with Bloody Elbow, McGregor said:

“I’ve been ringside to watch Joshua, and that is a heavy-punching man. And he’s a happy and good person, but he has an anger in him, he has a darkness, does Anthony Joshua. I don’t think a lot of people suss that. So the fight shouldn’t go ahead, but if he does it then I will have to give Jake his respect for that.”
