Former world champion reveals Jake Paul and Conor McGregor demand for mega-fight

Former super-middleweight champion Carl Froch says he would only watch a potential bout between Conor McGregor and Jake Paul if it was in MMA.

Influencer Paul, 27, extended his professional record to 11-1-0 last weekend as he defeated former undisputed heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, 58, by unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Earlier this week, Most Valuable Promotions claimed that the bout - co-headlined by Katie Taylor's narrow defeat of Amanda Serrano - had the biggest gate (£14.3m) of any boxing or MMA event in American history to be staged outside of Las Vegas.

"But if you put him in a boxing ring, it's probably a fight Jake Paul wins, dare I say. McGregor can't box but it's not a fight that's any good.
