Jake Paul.The 36-year-old hasn't fought since he defeated arch rival Amir Khan in May and he hasn't ruled out returning to the ring with the controversial YouTuber.

So, of course, if it makes sense, I’d get in with Jake Paul." Several YouTubers have taken up the sport of boxing over the last five years, starting with KSI’s bout with Joe Weller.While they have no doubt brought a new group of fans to the sport, Brook warned the YouTube boxers about playing games in boxing and claimed that some could get hurt when they start to fight better quality opponents."I’m not really into it, these YouTubers who just jump into boxing and get that attention,” he added. “They’ve not dedicated their life to the sport like us real fighters who have done it since we were kids and learned the craft for years.

It’s everything, we put our life and soul into the sport.“My respect is for the fighters who live and breathe it and are so passionate about it – not the guys who have millions of subscribers and jump to the sport and all the fans just follow them to boxing and they take it like it’s a game.

Boxing’s not a game.“They could pick the wrong opponent and you never know what’s going to happen in the sport of boxing."Brook then weighed on the upcoming Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk bout and suggested AJ will join him in the retirement club if he loses.
