AEW World Tag Team Champion Bobby Lashley recently discussed the possibility of fighting Jake Paul. In an interview with WFAA Dallas, Lashley praised Paul for bringing attention to boxing but said he doesn’t think he is the right matchup for the celebrity boxer.
“Yeah, he can give me the script and we can go ahead and do whatever we need to,” Lashley joked initially. “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 get paid really well.”
He continued more seriously, “I don’t know if I’m the right matchup 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.”
Lashley did add that he would take a boxing match tomorrow if the opportunity arose, stating, “I love competition and I’d love to be able to fight him and see what he’s all about.”
