UFC star Ian Garry has claimed he would box ‘seven shades of s***’ out of YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul for free. Paul has been quick to call out a number of MMA’s biggest names including Conor McGregor and Paddy Pimblett.
Whilst neither of these offers have materialised, one man who would happily fight the YouTube star without a pay day is Garry. Offering a fierce warning to Paul, the unbeaten UFC star told Fair Betting Sites: “Right. Listen to me. 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.” The American internet sensation has no doubt changed the face of professional boxing in recent years.

The YouTube boxing scene has become a hugely popular market, and Paul has been at the centre of the movement. And despite his fierce warning, Garry admitted he had huge respect for what Paul and his older Jake have done in the sport.
He went on: “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 making the step into the boxing ring, Garry believes a move into the octagon would prove a step too far for the Paul brothers, especially if it was against him.
The UFC star commented: “However, if they stood into an octagon with me I would beat the s*** 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.” Garry has been tipped as one of the UFC’s next big stars, with the Irishman having won all three of his fights in the championship.
