Jake Paul 's feud with Conor McGregor could end up taking his attention from Hasim Rahman Jr, according to former UFC star Brendan Schaub.
YouTube star Paul will take a massive step up in boxing skill and size when he faces 12-1 heavyweight Rahman Jr next month at Madison Square Garden in his sixth professional fight. But in recent days, he has focused a large portion of his media output on the injured UFC legend McGregor, instead of his next opponent.
And Schaub, who has experience of fighting some major names in the MMA world, has warned Paul against getting distracted by the allure of a McGregor fight. The Irishman recently mocked Paul publicly; one of the first times he has taken the bait from the social media star.
