He lost his boxing debut to rival Hafthor Bjornsson in 2022 but has won his first two MMA bouts \u2013 knocking out Mariusz Pudzianowski last April.<\/p>\n

Paul meanwhile has crossed over from social media star to boxer<\/a> \u2013 amassing a 12-2 record since his 2020 debut.<\/p>\n

And Hall \u2013 who weighed in over 23 STONE for his last fight \u2013 is ready to face Paul despite being an admirer of the American\u2019s career. <\/p>\n

He told podcaster Rob Moore<\/a>: \u201cYeah, of course. Good payday. I\u2019d fight him in boxing, yeah.<\/p>\n

JAW DROPPING<\/p>\n

Jake Paul slapped with ‘indefinite’ boxing ban after Anthony Joshua defeat<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI think would be a tough little bout actually. People play him down and people love to hate on Jake Paul but I actually quite like the kid.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the fights he\u2019s taken, people say he only fights old men and whatever else, minus the Mike Tyson fight, but all the others legitimately good fighters.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood scrappers and he went in and held his own. Even Tommy Fury. Tommy Fury is a decent level boxer and he lost to Tommy but not by much.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t like a beatdown. It was a good scrap. So fair preps to Jake Paul and no doubt he\u2019s improved a lot since then as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall, 34, knocked out former strongman and 17-10 MMA fighter Pudzianowski, 48, in 30 seconds of their bout in Poland.<\/p>\n

And he is set to have at least one more fight in the MMA cage. <\/p>\n

Paul, 28, meanwhile was knocked out in December in six rounds by Anthony Joshua, 36, suffering a broken jaw.<\/a><\/p>\n

He was forced to have surgery and has been suspended indefinitely until he is cleared by a physician.<\/a><\/p>\n

Paul moved up to heavyweight for the bout, weighing 216.4lbs\u00a0(15st 6lb), which is still a huge EIGHT STONE lighter than Hall. <\/p>\n

Over 33 MILLION watched AJ\u2019s win on Netflix \u2013 with Hall praising Paul\u2019s impact on the sport \u2013 which has seen him earn over \u00a3200MILLION.<\/p>\n

Hall said: \u201cWhat people don\u2019t quite realise is he\u2019s making more money than any of the pro boxers, probably put together.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is mad, but I think he deserves it because of how much balls he\u2019s put on the line. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor a man that\u2019s literally laid his b******s out for the whole world to see. Win, draw, lose he\u2019s gone in there.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you should get paid for that and he\u2019s created that environment for himself, he\u2019s set that up, he\u2019s set up those platforms, he\u2019s got it on Netflix. He\u2019s done that.\u201d<\/p>\n
