He most recently knocked out ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, leaving his next opponent up in the air.

Older brother Logan, 26, said on the MMA Hour: “I’d love to see him fight Nate Diaz then eventually Conor McGregor.

“I think that would be such a cool fight, man.”

Paul has also knocked out the likes of online rival ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37.

He first beat Woodley, 39, on points in August and then signed to fight Tommy Fury, 22, until the Brit pulled out with a broken rib.

So in December, Woodley filled in on late notice only to be brutally knocked out in round six of the short-notice rematch.

Logan has been ringside watching the journey up close and personal, left motivated by his brother’s polarising splash in the sport.

He said: “I remember a time not that long ago, maybe like two and a half years ago, I’m ashamed to say this because I’m his brother and I love him, but I had chalked him up to the game.

“His attitude or he’s going about this the wrong way. He was just being a f***ing punk about his brand and his persona.

“Then he put in the work and the work led to results and led to actual action.

“And so I realised that I’m done doubting Jake Paul forever. Anything the kid says now I’m like, ‘Well, I’ve seen him do it before’.

“I get so inspired by him now. He truly is like an example of making it out of the mud, man.

“He’s definitely exceeded my expectations along with everyone’s, I assume.”
