Jake Paul is back in action next month when he takes on Hasim Rahman Jr. at Madison Square Garden.
Paul's upcoming bout will be the first time in his professional boxing career that he has faced an outright boxer and Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn couldn't help but praise the decision.
"Firstly, you have to give props to Jake Paul because at this stage in his career, with the ability that he has, this is a good tough fight," Hearn told The DAZN Boxing Show.
"You probably know more than me about Hasim Rahman Jr., he got knocked out in his last fight by Tommy Morrison’s son.
"It could be a really smart move by Jake Paul or it could be a horrendous move, but either way you’ve go to give Jake Paul and Nakisa some credit for a couple of things.
"They spun off a potential disaster with Tommy Fury, it was a complete mess, it was a circus for a while, they got themselves together, they got a new opponent, who is credible. It’s a proper fight, a real fight, so good luck to him.
"If he wins, we can’t then turn around and say he’s going to be a world champion, but you have to give him a credit because he’s making his way as a professional fighter.
"It’s a very solid win for someone at that stage in his career."
Whenever Paul is boxing, it doesn't take too long until one of his rivals, fellow YouTuber KSI, is mentioned, and despite being in action on DAZN next month against Alex Wassabi, Hearn believes the pair are no longer on the same level when it comes to the sweet science.
"Jake is in a different category now, I don’t even class Jake as YouTube boxer anymore, I class him as a real boxer.
"KSI’s taken a couple of years out, he’s come back, but Jake Paul’s training like a proper fighter and that would be a very dangerous fight for KSI, but a huge fight."
