Jake Paul has been advised to avoid a fight with heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois after the two exchanged messages.
Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, recently shared a message from Dubois, who challenged him to fight for the IBF heavyweight title that Dubois defended by knocking out Anthony Joshua in September.
Since defeating 58-year-old Mike Tyson last Friday, Paul has received several calls from top boxers, but retired WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew warns that fighting Dubois would be a mistake. Bellew, who hasn't fought since 2018, thinks Dubois is on a whole different level compared to Paul.

Bellew told talkSPORT, "Dubois would knock Jake Paul out with just a jab. It would be an embarrassment. Jake has a great imagination, but he’s on another planet if he thinks he can handle someone like Dubois. It wouldn’t even be allowed."
Bellew, known for his outspoken opinions, also made headlines during the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul press event. He surprised everyone by bringing an elderly man, claiming he was Paul's next opponent if Tyson let him survive the fight. Though the stunt didn't go as planned, it went viral and likely influenced Paul’s choice to aim for a younger, less experienced opponent in the future. Source
