Jake Paul names potential opponent he’d surprisingly rather fight in MMA than boxing

For much of Jake’s career, Logan has been supportive and attended fights to cheer him on. That was the case most recently when the younger Paul defeated Mike Tyson on Netflix last November.

But the two siblings weren’t always on the best of terms, and growing hostility a number of years ago sparked talk of a brother vs. brother clash in the ring.

Jake Paul would expect unlikely Logan Paul fight to happen in the cage

With the pair now supporting each other’s career moves, and Logan’s breakthrough as a talented professional wrestler in WWE, a future bout between Jake and Logan Paul appears close to off the table.

Jake confirmed as much during a recent appearance on The Iced Coffee Hour podcast, pointing to their parents as the main hurdle to the lucrative match.

But ‘The Problem Child’ isn’t completely shutting the door on what would be a history-making fight, though he surprisingly wouldn’t expect the boxing gloves to be required should it come to fruition.

“I think it would be better in MMA,” Paul said. “In boxing, I would beat him pretty easily…I think he would probably agree.

“He would last like, two rounds with me in boxing, maybe three. But In MMA, I think he would actually have the advantage ’cause he’s really good at wrestling.

“I’m pretty sure he could kick me in the head.”

Jake Paul’s next fight is fast approaching

Paul currently has his sights set on a confirmed opponent, as the Cleveland native gears up for his 13th professional boxing outing this Saturday, June 28.

Following on from record viewership for his fight against Tyson, Paul has returned to pay-per-view on DAZN to share the ring with former WBC champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

The 39-year-old Mexican has experience in high-profile crossover bouts. Chavez Jr memorably lost to Anderson Silva after the MMA legend’s exit from the UFC.

Most recently, the ex-champ got past another former UFC fighter, Uriah Hall, in a lackluster contest.
