JAKE PAUL has been urged by his ex-coach Shane Mosley to fight a former world champion if he beats Tommy Fury.
Mosley, who won titles in three divisions, was the first to ever train Paul as a professional.

He led the YouTuber-turned boxer to a one-round victory over YouTube rival AnEsonGib in January 2020.
But Paul, 26, is now trained by ex-cruiserweight contender BJ Flores and Danny Smith, since going 6-0.
He returns on Sunday in Saudi Arabia against Tommy Fury, 23, with the victor earning a WBC cruiserweight world ranking.
In his last fight, Paul beat Anderson Silva, 47, the UFC legend who in 2021 defeated ex-middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 37.
And it is the son of Mexican boxing legend Chavez Sr who Mosley wants Paul to face after Fury.
He told FightHype: “Maybe he should fight Chavez Jr or something, or he fights this guy [Tommy Fury] and he wins, then fight Chavez Jr.
“Anderson Silva fought him already, maybe he should fight him and see what happens.
“He has to step his way up, keep stepping his way up and the way he looks now, he can do it.
“The way he is training now, continue to train, continue to believe, yeah, why not?”
Fury will be the first opponent of Paul’s with a recognised boxing record.
That is despite wins over ex-MMA champions Ben Askren, 38, Tyron Woodley, 40, and Silva.
So the WBC’s decision to potentially rank the YouTuber-turned boxer caused outrage.
But Mosley believes Paul has the tools to take it all the way eventually, but suggested a move down to light-heavyweight.
He said: “It is a possibility, because he has the frame, he has the speed, he has the power.
“He might need to lose a little bit of weight, but he fights at cruiserweight so maybe he goes down to light-heavyweight.
“It is going to be hard for him at any of the weights, once you get to that level, then he has got to work with the right people.
“But, like right now, it will probably take him, two, three, four years to even be in that section, that area.
“He is not there yet, but if he fights the right people, then maybe he can do it.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types of punches available: Left Hook and Right Hook, Cross, Cross, Straight, Underhand, Overhand, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, and Overhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require greater strength than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also various punching combinations. These are combinations which combine several punches in order to achieve a specific goal. A combination can contain multiple parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
A boxer uses his body to protect himself against attacks. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. To avoid being kicked on his side, he will bend his knees if the attack is from the front. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.
Elbows
Elbow strikes are very powerful because they inflict great pain. You can deliver an elbow strike directly or indirectly. Directly refers to hitting your opponent with the forearm, while indirect means you hit him using another part of your arms.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. They raise their fists high above their heads and point them in the direction of an attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. A lot of boxers use knee strikes to defend themselves.
Feet
A boxer should not be afraid to respond to an attack. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. The way he defends him will be dictated by his stance. It defines where he faces his opponent and how he positions his body. Boxers have many options for stances. These are the most popular:
- A low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
Boxers must maneuver around their opponent to win fights. This includes changing speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
Boxers rotate their arms when they throw a punch. Depending on the type and size of punch, the speed at which the rotation takes place varies.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a form of boxing that aims to improve your skills. During sparring sessions, a boxer trains his mind as well as his body. The goal of sparring is to learn to fight, and not to get hurt.
Learning to box takes dedication and patience. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
