"Jake Paul, I like this kid. You know why? Because he is real. When he talked about Conor’s wife, [Paul] said [McGregor] talked about Khabib’s wife. I like Jake Paul," Abdelaziz said, according to Boxing Scene.

"I think he’ll beat the s--t out of Conor, Conor's teammates, all these guys. I like his brother, too. Logan Paul, I like these kids, they make something from nothing. Even Mike Tyson likes these kids. Mike is my friend."
