Irish UFC star Ian Garry says he would 'box seven shades of s**t out of Jake Paul'

Irish UFC star Ian Garry would love nothing more than to get his hands on Jake Paul.

While the MMA fighter praised Paul and his brother Logan for bringing more eyes to the fight game, he feels as though a fight between himself and Jake would only go one way.

The 25-year-old Dubliner believes Jake Paul, who has defeated former UFC fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva in recent times, would have to be a 'brave' man to step into the cage with Garry.

"I would box seven shades of s**t out of Jake Paul and I would do it for free. I don't even need to say any more about it. That's it," Garry told FairBettingSites.co.uk.

“In the octagon!? He’d have to be a brave man to step into the octagon with me!"

Despite feeling a bout between himself and Jake Paul would be an easy day's work, Garry still praised the brothers for their influence on the sport of boxing.

"Again, I think what the Paul brothers have done is incredible. One of them has fought Floyd Mayweather and that's insane to me.

"They put on some amazing fights, they’ve got a lot of bums on seats and they've got a lot of people to pay to watch their fights. So they're very, very smart at what they do.

"They are kings of content and they've got a phenomenal brand behind them."

Despite this praise, Garry is still supremely confident that the undefeated boxer/social media star would not fare well in the Octagon against the Portmarnock man.

“However, if they stood into an octagon with me I would beat the s**t out of them for 14 minutes and 58 seconds. Because I would want them to know that I am better than them at what I do.

You know I'd make them struggle. I'd make them not want to be there, I’d make them want to quit, and when they want to quit I'm not going to give them the option to quit.

I’ll decide when I finish the fight. Let's see what content he's got when he’s looking scared, when he's got that fear and anxiety. He wouldn’t want anything to do with me and I'd be like hey, you asked for this.

"You’ve stepped into my world. You shouldn't have done this. Reality hits hard.”
