Khan and Nico Ali Warn Jake Paul of Grave Danger Ahead of Joshua Clash

Former world champion Amir Khan and Nico Ali Walsh, grandson of boxing legend Muhammad Ali, have issued stark warnings to YouTuber‑turned‑boxer Jake Paul ahead of his December 19 fight against Anthony Joshua in Miami.

Ali Walsh expressed serious concern for Paul’s safety, noting that boxing is inherently dangerous and urging people to watch closely and pray for Paul’s well‑being. He referenced his grandfather’s health struggles from years in the sport to highlight the risks involved.

Khan echoed these sentiments, saying Paul’s team must do more to protect him and emphasizing that a single punch can change a fighter’s life or end it. He stressed that Paul is putting himself on the line in a matchup against a far more experienced and powerful heavyweight.

The bout, scheduled as an eight‑round professional fight with 10‑ounce gloves, pits Paul — who has limited heavyweight experience — against Joshua, a former two‑time world champion making his return.
