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.<\/p>\n<p>Bobby Lashley Would Like To See What Jake Paul Is All About<\/p>\n<p>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,<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAt the end of the day, fighting is fighting. Jake is doing some big things in the fight world.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cHe\u2019s helping out boxing tremendously because he\u2019s bringing a lot of eyes to it, and the fighters that are fighting on his card are getting paid really well.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When asked if he would be open to squaring off with Paul, Lashley said,<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m the right match up for him. I think what he needs is some more seasoned boxers to fight because he\u2019s good, he\u2019s actually good.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cSo, if he\u2019s good, he needs to keep fighting boxers that can legitimize him more. If I had an opportunity to box him, 100% I\u2019d do it tomorrow.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI stay in good shape, let\u2019s go hit some mits, let\u2019s do some sparring, let\u2019s get ready for it, I\u2019d be ready, I\u2019d sign a contract.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m not one of those guys that\u2019s like \u2018I\u2019m signing the contract because I wanna spit in your face and talk trash\u2019, I\u2019m not that guy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI\u2019m the kind of guy that loves competition, so I\u2019d love to be able to fight him and see what he\u2019s all about, see how good he is.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Lashley and his partner Shelton Benjamin are preparing for AEW All In: Texas.
