Retired former world champion, Amir Khan, claims he would happily put on weight and fight Jake Paul.

Khan retired last year after finally facing long time rival Kell Brook but getting stopped in the sixth round in a one-sided contest.

But bizarrely he has taken aim at the YouTuber-come-boxer, Jake Paul.

Khan speaking with Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Amanda said:

“Jake Paul, he gets on my nerves a little bit.

“I think the way he conducts himself the way he acts and he’s just full of himself as well and he thinks he can fight, he’s only been boxing for like a year, so yeah, I’d love to fight him. He’s been very lucky though, he’s a little bit heavier than me but I don’t mind putting the pounds on just to beat him up.”

Any interest in this fight?
