Bobby Lashley Open to Facing Jake Paul in the Boxing Ring

While speaking to WFAA, Bobby Lashley was asked if hed be up for a fight with Jake Paul. Lashley said hes a big fan of boxing even though his background is in wrestling, and that hed actually like to have at least one boxing match.

The Almighty joked that they could hand him the script and theyd do whatever was needed, then clarified more seriously. He mentioned that someone he used to wrestle with had commented that he wouldnt want to fight Jake Paul, but Lashley pushed back on that, saying if someone doesnt respect him he doesnt need to respect them either.

Lashley stated that at the end of the day, fighting is fighting. He also gave Jake Paul credit for what hes doing for boxing, saying hes bringing a lot of attention to the sport and helping other fighters get paid well. Lashley admitted he might not be the right opponent for Jake Paul, because Paul should keep fighting more seasoned boxers to continue legitimizing his career.

Even then, Lashley made it clear that if a boxing opportunity came up, hed take it immediately. He keeps himself in good shape, is always up to train, and would sign a contract without hesitation. He stated that hes not the type to sign on just to talk trash since he genuinely loves competition and would welcome the chance to get in the ring with Jake Paul to see how good he really is.

This comes after Bobby Lashley previously stated that a boxing match was on the horizon but it ultimately didnt happen. Therefore, well have to see whether The Almighty will end up squaring off against The Problem Child, as fans would love to see that happen.
