The renowned MMA coach is concerned for the safety of Jake Paul as he next faces heavyweight Anthony Joshua. Sean O’Malley’s head coach Tim Welch stepped into the debate surrounding the Jake Paul versus Anthony Joshua heavyweight showdown scheduled for December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami. During an appearance on the Overdogs Podcast with Mike Perry, Welch didn’t hold back his genuine concern for Paul’s welfare in what many consider a drastically mismatched contest.
Welch’s commentary stands out because his experience navigating the combat sports world carries weight, he’s a former professional MMA fighter with a 14-6 record and holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, having worked with elite coaches including John Crouch and Greg Jackson.
