Jake Paul has been warned that he is going to be hurt in his upcoming fight with Tommy Fury.
The two will clash in the ring on December 18 in Tampa, Florida, having emerged as rivals after Paul defeated Tyron Woodley and Fury defeated Taylor on the same night.
Social media star turned boxer Paul is undefeated at 4-0 in the ring, as is Fury, 7-0, – half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
Khan will himself make his return to the ring next year when he fights long-term rival Kell Brook.
And the Bolton-born fighter has given his thoughts ahead of Fury's bout with Paul.
Speaking to Pro Boxing Fans, Khan said: "I think Tommy’s a great guy and a great fighter. I know Tyson, his brother really well. But, I just feel that Jake Paul is going to get hurt in this fight.
"I like Jake as a fighter, he’s messaged me a couple of times, but at the end of day Tommy is a future champion and he wants to fight someone like that, [Paul] can get hurt badly."
The YouTuber is yet to fight a recognised boxer in his early career so far - having defeated a fellow YouTuber, former NBA point guard and two UFC fighters.
However, the 24-year-old remains undefeated - having only truly been challenged by Woodley in his last fight - which went the distance of eight rounds.
Fury has fought seven professional fighters in his career but they have all been against unknown boxers with a poor combined record.
