JAKE PAUL is going to ‘get badly hurt’ in his showdown with Tommy Fury, according to former world champ Amir Khan.
The YouTuber turned boxer will face the youngest Fury brother in a Tampa tussle a fortnight on Saturday.
Boxing novice Paul goes into the battle of Instagram celebs as a huge underdog due to his lack of experience.
And Khan reckons the former Disney star is cruising for a devastating bruising at the hands of Fury.
The former IBF light-welterweight champ told Pro Boxing Fans: “I think Tommy’s a great guy and a great fighter.
“I know Tyson, his brother really well. But, I just feel that Jake Paul is going to get hurt in this fight.
“I like Jake as a fighter, he’s messaged me a couple of times, but at the end of day Tommy is a future champion and he wants to fight someone like that, [Paul] can get hurt badly.”
Fury – the younger brother of WBC heavyweight champ Tyson – is planning to have a short night at the office against the divisive Paul.

The former Love Island star said: “After our last fights on the same card, I rocked up with four people to his after-party.
“I saw him and what did he do? He didn’t [do anything].
“He sent a security man over to say: ‘Please leave’.
“When he gets in the ring with me, he will find his level. He’ll be out in the first round.”
But Problem Child Paul plans to test the 7-0 Fury’s heart by taking him into deep waters.
He said: “I will TKO him in the later rounds.
“He hasn’t had a fight past four rounds so I think he’ll be gassed.
“I think this will be the first time he’s getting punched in the face by someone who can actually hit and is the same weight as him.
“He’s always fought smaller guys with losing records. So I think he’s going to fade. I know he’s going to fade.”
