Kane, Lehner quip over being Jake Paul's next in-ring opponent
Vegas Golden Knights netminder Robin Lehner and San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane are looking to take their fighting skills from the ice to the boxing ring.
After Youtube star Jake Paul knocked out former NBA guard Nate Robinson during Saturday night's boxing event at Staples Center, Kane and Lehner chimed in with challenges of their own.
Nah step out of the way and let real knights fight.#babyshark

The two continued with some friendly chirps.
Your lucky I was on the bench I would have taken you to town in front of our own fans:)

The 29-year-old Lehner then directed his attention to Paul and was rather blunt in his challenge.
I would **** you up.

Lehner, who stands 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, has a background in mixed martial arts training and is known as one of the NHL's most intense and intimidating players.
Kane is also a really tough customer. The 6-foot-2 winger has recorded 21 fights over 11 NHL campaigns, according to hockeyfights.com.
