Amir Khan has weighed in on the upcoming controversial Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis fight.
The weight for the contest is still yet to be revealed, but with ‘Tank’ campaigning at 135lbs and ‘The Problem Child’ weighing 227lbs for his heavyweight bout with Mike Tyson last November, there is expected to be a big difference between the two men.
Some of boxing’s biggest names have already had their say on the clash, and now former super-lightweight world champion Khan is the latest to do so, having been briefly linked himself to a fight against Paul in the past.
Speaking to Ring Magazine, Khan condemned the match-up, but believes that Paul could potentially ‘torture’ Davis in the bout.
“It’s a really bad mismatch, and whoever the promoter who has agreed for Gervonta to fight, and the promoter for Jake Paul to fight this little man, it’s wrong man. It’s wrong, it’s like torture. Going in there and hurting someone is just not fair on Davis.
“Maybe Davis just wants to cash up and walk away from the sport. I think they’re making boxing a joke really, and one day someone is going to get hurt badly.”
Khan isn’t the only one to feel that Davis may be eyeing up retirement after the bout with Paul, but ‘Tank’ has now come out himself and revealed what his future plans are.
