- Jake Paul said he's open to joining Logan Paul in the WWE.
- The only thing holding him back is the knocks, falls, and injuries that WWE stars are subjected to.
Logan Paul set the pro wrestling world ablaze after a series of virtuoso performances that blew WWE COO Triple-H's mind.
Now, his brother and novice boxer Jake Paul isn't ruling out joining him one day.
"I'm down" to join WWE, Jake said during an appearance this week on The MMA Hour.
What holds Jake back, he said, is the risk of injury, as Logan suffered torn ligaments in his right knee during his high-octane clash with WWE champion Roman Reigns — one of the world's best performers — in November last year.
"I just don't want to get injured," Jake told The MMA Hour host Ariel Helwani. "I know how serious" pro wrestling is, he added.
Jake, a rising star in boxing, said he didn't "want it to derail" his career in that combat sport.
"But, I'm down," he said. "I love the WWE, I love working with my brother so that would definitely be something that could be on the horizon, for sure."
Jake Paul is one of boxing's biggest names, according to Mike Tyson
Paul, a fighter with an unbeaten record of four knockouts from six wins, returns to the ring Sunday for arguably his toughest test to date — a fight against fellow novice Tommy Fury in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
The bout is scheduled to take place at cruiserweight (200-pound limit) over eight rounds and, should Paul win, it's one that will guarantee him a world ranking with the World Boxing Council sanctioning body.
Regardless of Paul's official ranking, the former world boxing heavyweight champion Mike Tyson regards the social media celebrity as one of the sport's biggest names.
"The market power of Jake Paul … he's the biggest name in boxing right now besides the heavyweights, and probably [Saul 'Canelo'] Alvarez," Tyson told Boxing Social, before tipping Jake to win Sunday.
"I don't think [Fury's] going to be able to beat Jake Paul. Jake is getting better and better, and I don't know if they brought him here to lose. Somebody's getting knocked out."
Paul is desperate for a KO win
Meanwhile, back on The MMA Hour, Paul said he'd be "100 percent" disappointed if he failed to finish Fury.
"This is a 'must knock-out' fight for me personally," he told Helwani. "Because I know I can do it. I would just be letting myself down.
"I'm going to win the fight, but if I don't knock him out, I'll definitely be pissed off, because I know I'm capable of it. I just have to execute the game plan."
