Since his involvement in the game of boxing, Jake Paul has gained loads of haters and rivals, and has been involved in lots of feuds, one in all which was with the grandson of Muhammad Ali.
In only just a few weeks’ time on December 19, Jake Paul will tackle by far the hardest test of his profession when he clashes against the previous unified heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua.
Ahead of what’s being widely thought to be a disastrous fight for ‘The Problem Child’, he has been training and sparring with a few of one of the best heavyweight fighters on the planet and after a recent sparring session with Joshua’s protege, he was left with marks to indicate for it.
Nonetheless, regardless of how well prepared the 28-year-old is for his clash against the Brit, many fellow boxers are apprehensive about Paul’s health, and Muhammad Ali‘s grandson is the most recent to have raised his concern.
Is Jake Paul at serious risk for his life against Anthony Joshua?
Oleksandr Usyk and now Conor McGregor each appear to legitimately think it is a dangerous night for Jake Paul, what do you reckon?
Nico Ali Walsh is ‘praying for Jake Paul’s health’ in Anthony Joshua fight
During his controversial tenure in boxing, Paul has repeatedly attempted to prove himself against notable opponents, and one fighter he once attempted to book a fight against was Nico Ali Walsh, the grandson of the legendary Muhammad Ali.
Last 12 months following wins over Ryan Bourland and Mike Perry, Paul offered Ali Walsh $3 million to fight him within the boxing ring, however the 25-year-old turned down the offer.
Ali Walsh has an expert record of 11-2-1, and he fights at 160lbs, which is significantly smaller than what Paul has fought at.
Since then, the 2 have been involved in somewhat of a feud, as Ali Walsh labeled Paul’s boxing involvement as a ‘circus act’, stating that he wouldn’t ‘play within the mud with the likes of Jake Paul’.
Nonetheless, despite their feud, ahead of the 28-year-old’s fight against the harmful Joshua, Ali Walsh has admitted that he’s ‘praying for Jake Paul’s health’.
“In all seriousness, it’s really dangerous, you’ve just got to hope for the health of (Jake Paul), I’m not attempting to sound like I’m taking shots at Jake Paul but you’ve got to hope for his health because Anthony Joshua isn’t any joke,” Ali Walsh told Al Arabiya.
“That fight shouldn’t go past probably two rounds, but I hope that, me and Jake Paul have never seen eye to eye, we’re not in the identical type of atmosphere, but I don’t want him to get hurt,” he continued.
