YouTuber boxers Logan and Jake Paul have been warned that they are ‘putting their lives at risk’ by Tony Bellew, who has tipped someone will eventually ‘get hurt’.

The two siblings have both made their fame from their presence on the online video sharing platform and decided to venture into the ring to mixed success.

The older brother, Logan, will take on all-time legend Floyd Mayweather in Miami next month, and Bellew, who is no stranger to fierce tussles in the sport, is concerned that a serious accident may happen.

‘These guys aren’t fighters,’ Bellew told BBC Radio 5 Live. ‘If I go and play football tomorrow at Goodison Park does that make me a footballer? I wish it would because I’d definitely just walk in and tell them I’m playing!

‘These guys aren’t true boxers. They’re someone that’s having a go at a sport. I’ve got no problem with that. 

‘But they shouldn’t actually call themselves professional fighters of any magnitude because it’s wrong what they’re doing to the sport by claiming they are fighters.’

‘I’m okay with you making a few quid, the only thing I’m going to say here that no one has ever touched upon before and you’ll hear it now for the first time… understand, someone’s going to get hurt doing this and it’s going to come back on boxing.’

Jake boasts a 3-0 professional record but is yet to face off against any fighters who are an established name in the sport. 

His triumphs have come against YouTuber AnEsonGib, former NBA basketballer Nate Robinson and ex-UFC welterweight Ben Askren.

Logan, meanwhile, has fought just once since beginning the venture, suffering defeat against fellow YouTuber KSI. His next test will come against five-weight world champion Mayweather. 

‘The guys are stupid, they’re putting their lives at risk,’ Bellew added.

‘There’s journeymen who would wipe the floor with both of these clowns, journeymen. It’s disrespectful to the sport to think that these guys are fighters.’

When questioned for a prediction on Logan’s bout with Mayweather, Bellew was withering about the underdog’s chances.

‘This guy’s going to get his backside handed to him by Floyd Mayweather,’ Bellew said.

‘He’s going to get played with, he’s going to get absolutely schooled.’
