Jake Paul's future opponents told they'll "have to kill him to beat him"

Jake Paul's next few opponents have been warned that if they want to take his unbeaten record, they'll have to "kill him".

His coach Danny Smith has been quietly working with the YouTube star during his hiatus from the ring after knocking out former UFC champion Tyron Woodley. And Smith, a veteran boxing mind, believes that Paul has the same mindset that fighters who come from poverty are born with, meaning he will take punishment in order to win a fight.

Paul looks set to face Tommy Fury on August 6 in his ring return, with the YouTuber signed on for a fight date at Madison Square Garden. But Smith seems to have taken a leaf from Tommy's brother; the world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, who said in 2017 that you would have to nail him to the canvas to win a fight against him.
