AEW star Bobby Lashley praised YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul for making a big impact in boxing.
In an interview with WFAA, Bobby Lashley mentioned Jake Paul is bringing attention to the sport boxing and helping fighters earn better pay by putting them on his cards. “At the end of the day, fighting is fighting. Jake is doing some big things in the fight world, he’s helping out boxing tremendously because he’s bringing a lot of eyes to it, and the fighters that are fighting on his card are getting paid really well.”
Lashley also address about the possibility of boxing Jake Paul and said he’s open to the idea. However, he questioned whether he’s the right opponent for him, ” I don’t know if I’m the right match up for him. I think what he needs is some more seasoned boxers to fight because he’s good, he’s actually good, so if he’s good, he needs to keep fighting boxers that can legitimize him more. If I had an opportunity to box him, 100% I’d do it tomorrow. I stay in good shape, let’s go hit some mits, let’s do some sparring, let’s get ready for it, I’d be ready, I’d sign a contract.”
He made it clear he’s not the type to trash talk he simply enjoys competing and he would love to step in the ring with him to test his abilities. “I’m not one of those guys that’s like ‘I’m signing the contract because I wanna spit in your face and talk trash’, I’m not that guy. I’m the kind of guy that loves competition, so I’d love to be able to fight him and see what he’s all about, see how good he is.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
