As Jake Paul prepares for the biggest test of his short boxing career he has found himself on the end of a well-placed jab from a former WWE Champion.
On February 25th, Paul will take on Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia. Both men are unbeaten, although their boxing records are limited at best, especially Paul’s which includes more than one retired MMA fighter.
In a recent post on social media, Drew McIntyre shared footage of himself training with Sheamus and three-time World Kickboxing Champion Bernard “Swiftkick” Robinson. The former World Champion playfully captioned the clip recorded for Sheamus’ Celtic Warrior Workouts series: “One day of boxing and already better than @JakePaul”
Sheamus simply replied “Book It”
Jake Paul Open To WWE Run
Jake Paul’s brother Logan has made a stunning impression on WWE since stepping into the ring for the first time at WrestleMania 38. Since then he has gotten the better of the Miz, gone toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns, and started a rivalry with Seth Rollins. His run-ins with Rollins appear destined to end in a match between the pair at WrestleMania 39.
Jake has also made a brief cameo in WWE, getting involved in Logan’s match with Reigns.
Speaking in a recent interview, Jake Paul admitted that he would be open to working with WWE, although he’s wary of getting injured.
“We’ll see. I’m down. I just don’t want to get injured. My brother tore his MCL; it’s crazy out there. So, I just don’t want it to derail my boxing and all that, but I’m down. I love WWE. I love working with my brother. So that would definitely be something that could be on the horizon, for sure.”
