Follow Us
Drew McIntyre has been firing shots at Tyson Fury since Fury’s debut in WWE. But recently, the former WWE Champion talked about someone else from the boxing world. It was none other than Jake Paul. Interestingly, Paul is all set to face Tyson Fury’s brother, Tommy, next month.
In an interview with talkSPORT, the “Scottish Psychopath” praised Jake Paul’s heel character. He even compared him to a young Muhammad Ali. However, McIntyre even claimed that if Paul shows up at WWE, then he will end up getting hit by a Claymore Kick.
He revealed that there are very few people who are willing to be true bad guys, and Jake Paul is one of them. The former WWE Champion finds it pretty cool how the crowd boos him when he shows up at the events.

Drew McIntyre said, “It’s like Muhammad Ali back in the day. Everyone just remembers the good parts and how great he was, but if you remember in the beginning of Ali’s career, he was playing the heel and taking inspiration from WWE and playing that character, making people hate him so they would pay money to see him get beat.”
“He [Jake] is basically the number one heel in the world, so if he wants to swing by WWE and get Claymored in the face, that’s just fine with me!” he added.
