Eddie Hall is not done with freak fights just yet. After dominating the Neffati Brothers in a 2v1 cage fight last year, the former World’s Strongest Man is looking for a much larger challenge—both physically and metaphorically. This time, he wants to face Jake and Logan Paul in an MMA fight, and he’s surely not concerned about the outcome. Hall, who once deadlifted 500kg and will weigh in at a massive 341 pounds for his forthcoming KSW fight, feels he can easily defeat the YouTubers-turned-boxers. And if he has his way, the Paul brothers could be in for the most difficult night of their fighting careers.
Hall made his intentions clear in a recent interview with Ariel Helwani. “Jake Paul and Logan Paul, I’d love to get them in a cage together… I think it would be very uneven, 100 per cent [I would kick their a–], powerbomb, smack them straight across the jaw. That’s it.” Despite the Paul brothers’ extensive boxing and wrestling training, their size difference is evident. Jake Paul weighed 227 pounds for his bout with Mike Tyson, while ‘The Maverick’ generally weighs less than 200 pounds. Hall, on the other hand, is a 361-pound monster who has already proven his ability to fight numerous opponents at once.
But while Hall is ready for his next great spectacle, Jake Paul has just finished a different kind of war. His long-standing $100 million lawsuit against boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has finally been settled out of court, bringing an end to a battle that began in 2022. ‘The Problem Child’ accused Hearn of paying judges during Oleksandr Usyk’s rematch victory over Anthony Joshua, triggering a years-long legal battle. Despite the bad blood, the two have managed to continue working together, most notably in arranging significant matches such as the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano trilogy.

Now, with that legal mess behind him. Jake Paul can now fully focus on his fighting career, which, if Hall gets his way, might include going into the cage for a 2v1 battle. Of course, the Paul brothers haven’t reacted yet, but considering their history of taking on daring challenges, they might consider the suggestion. Whether they’d have a chance against Hall’s tremendous might is another story entirely. However, it is worth noting that he recently did reveal a key scenario in which ‘The Problem Child’ may team up with his brother Logan Paul.

Jake Paul reveals massive WWE and MMA plans
While Eddie Hall calls for a crazy 2v1 MMA fight with the Paul brothers, Jake Paul appears to have a totally different plan in his mind. Rather than entertain the prospect of entering a cage with a man nearly twice his size, ‘The Problem Child’ has been considering his choices in both WWE and MMA. While his brother Logan Paul continues to make waves in professional wrestling, Jake Paul has no desire to compete. In an interview with Newsweek, he made this clear.
He said, “I’d love to be Logan’s manager, Paul Heyman-style in WWE, but I don’t think my body is cut out for the athleticism and the madness that WWE takes. I feel like I would break my back.” Despite this, he is also committed to entering the MMA scene. Jake’s long-standing offer to Nate Diaz of $15 million for an MMA fight has yet to be accepted, and he hasn’t lost interest. ‘The Problem Child’ only needs the right opponent. “I definitely want to do MMA,” he said. “For me, it’s just about finding the right opponent.” Diaz has been inactive in the UFC since 2022, but he has never shied away from a fight.

The question is if he’s willing to trade punches with Jake Paul in the cage, where the younger Paul brother has to prove his ability to compete in a sport far more difficult than boxing. Meanwhile, Logan Paul is entirely focused on WWE, where he is fresh off a successful reign as United States Champion. So, while Logan is establishing himself as a major WWE star, Jake Paul is on a different path—one that may soon lead him to MMA. Whether it’s Diaz or someone else, it’s evident that he’s not finished establishing himself in the fight game. What do you think? What’s next for the YouTuber-turned-boxer?
