Bobby Lashley, a star from AEW, has expressed his willingness to take on Jake Paul in a boxing match. While Lashley’s brother Logan Paul has made a successful transition into WWE, Jake Paul has carved out a notable boxing career with a professional record of 12-1-0, defeating fighters like Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and even former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Despite criticism about the physical condition of some of his opponents, Jake Paul has earned respect in the boxing world, including praise from Lashley, who called Jake a "problem child" but acknowledged his skill and contribution to bringing attention to the sport.
In an interview with WFAA, Lashley confidently stated that he is fully prepared to fight Paul if the chance arises. He noted Jake’s impact on fighting, his boxing ability, and the competitive spirit that motivates him to take on the challenge. Lashley emphasized his readiness to train, spar, and step into the ring with Paul, highlighting his love for competition.
Known primarily for his wrestling career in WWE, TNA, and now AEW, Lashley also has MMA experience, boasting a 15-2 record from fights between 2008 and 2016. He hinted at possibly exploring boxing alongside MMA in the future. Jake Paul recently won a unanimous decision against former WBC middleweight champion Julio Sázer Chavez Jr. on June 28th.

Bobby Lashley stepping into the boxing ring against Jake Paul not only boosts AEW’s visibility but also highlights the growing crossover potential between combat sports.
