UFC star Tony Ferguson, a long-time rival of Conor McGregor, has offered his services as a coach to Jake Paul after the boxer announced his move to MMA this week.
The YouTuber-turned-fighter has defeated three former MMA world champions in his boxing career, and has now decided to take the leap and sign with PFL, arguably the No.2 promotion in the sport. Meanwhile, Ferguson appears to be taking time away from the cage after a difficult few years in which he has suffered five losses, three of which were stoppages.
In the meantime, the fighter has been staying in the gym while also attending Harvard University where he is studying business, likely for a career after fighting. Ferguson is one of many MMA stars who would likely be keen to work with Paul who is 6-0 as a professional boxer and despite never facing a legitimate professional in his own sport has become one of its biggest names.
