Khabib's coach
has supported Jake Paul to defeat Conor McGregor in boxing ring.
The weight would be a problem, as the Irishman, 33 years old, was last seen fighting in the UFC lightweight division at 155lb.
Paul, 25, weighed primarily at 190lb (13st 5.lb), but required a catchweight 175lb (12st 5.lb).
Javier Mendez, MMA coach, supported the American even though he was lighter.
Mendez Betway Insider US. "I would prefer Jake Paul at 175 to Conor in a boxing match because he is too big, but Conor can't be counted out."

"Conor is a great boxer so don't discount that. However, his size is a bit much.
"Jake Paul hits very hard, as you can see by his actions. Jake Paul is only getting better, so if you aren't aware of his abilities, it's time to wake up.
"So, I believe the size is a significant difference and the power would prove too much for Conor."
McGregor has only boxed professionally once. He lost to Floyd Mayweather (45), in 2017.

Paul beat online rival AnEsonGib, an ex-NBA player, and Ben Askren, a retired UFC welterweight, among others.
His two most recent wins were against Tyron Woodley (39), who was an ex-UFC champion. He won on points in August, and then a brutal knockout several months later.
Mendez doesn't doubt Paul's abilities or power, even though he hasn't yet faced a recognized boxer.
He stated that sometimes you can punch harder but be bigger, but Jake Paul is larger than Conor, punches harder, and is good. So all three variables are with Jake.
"He's just bigger man fighting smaller man. Jake Paul isn't necessarily a beginner anymore.
"He is experienced in handling high-pressure fights and has proven that he can handle that pressure.
"So it's either a big or a small man, and the big man just happens to have more firepower.
