Former WWE and current AEW star Bobby Lashley has been having a great run with The Hurt Syndicate. While not having a chance to face Logan Paul in WWE, one-half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions had massive praise for Jake recently.
Bobby Lashley Would Like To See What Jake Paul Is All About
In a recent interview with WFAA, Lashley spoke about Jake Paul. He praised the YouTuber-turned-boxer for his skills and the attention he brought to the sport. He said,
“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.”
When asked if he would be open to squaring off with Paul, Lashley said,
“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.”
“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.”
Lashley and his partner Shelton Benjamin are preparing for AEW All In: Texas. They will defend their AEW World Tag Team belts in a three-way tag team match.
