Jake Paul is heading towards an elite group of fighters including Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson, Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather, according to UFC legend Chael Sonnen.
The former light-heavyweight and middleweight world title challenger believes Paul has put himself in the discussion of fighters who can take on anyone and still draw interest from fans. And with that, he would join other combat sport legends, most of whom needed a career full of world title glories to reach the point at which the YouTuber is within just six professional fights.
Paul recently announced he will be making his MMA debut under the PFL banner, drawing massive attention worldwide despite not revealing an opponent or fight date. And Sonnen reckons that the excitement around his first fight in the 'smart cage' is an indication of his star-power in the sport.
