Both KSI and Jake Paul have made their way into celebrity boxing, parlaying their YouTube fame into huge viewing figures.
And former Republic of Ireland international Jeff Hendrick says McClean is “open” to any potential opponent.
He told Fruity King: “He’s desperate for a professional boxing fight. He’s open. He said it, whether it’s in interviews or on social media. I think anyone who follows him sees he’s boxing most days. It’s not just a hobby for him, he loves the sport. He’s adamant he’s going to have a professional fight, so whoever that is against, I don’t know.
“I wouldn’t say he’s not going to have a professional fight. I’d probably put a bet on saying he potentially will. Could he fight Jake Paul or KSI?
“He’s been training hard at boxing for a good few years. He’s going to be fairly handy. And his fitness, I know through football, his fitness is top.
“He’s one of the fittest players I’ve played with. So he will be ready and able. If a fight does come around and then it’s just so, he’s mad, he’ll fight anyone. So I just hope he asks me to do the ring walk with him.”
