Eddie Hearn has admitted that Jake Paul would "chin" him if the pair's friendly rivalry were to ever end up in a boxing ring.
The Matchroom Boxing boss at times got testy with YouTube star and 5-0 professional boxer Paul during their co-promotion of last month's Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight. However, Hearn doesn't want to settle their differences in the ring, knowing that it wouldn't end well for him.
Famously, the Brit sparred his fellow Matchroom executive Frank Smith earlier this year, with footage being leaked of him dropping the promotion's CEO. But he broke his finger and required an operation during the few rounds they shared, and he has put his own plans inside the ring on hold for now.
