Jake Paul knows just who he'd like front and center to watch him fight Tyron Woodley at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, OH. on Aug. 29.
None other than LeBron James, the five-time NBA champion who is an Akron, OH. native and memorably led the Cleveland Cavaliers to a comeback title win back in 2016.
"I think it’s just really cool that this is sort of an Ohio affair and not a lot of boxing matches take place in Ohio, let alone Cleveland," Paul told TMZ Sports on Thursday.
He added: "LeBron, pull up baby!!!
"When I was 12, I came and saw your games. I paid good money for some front row seats. I was yelling at you from the crowds."
Now, the YouTuber/boxer wants King James to return the love.
"And so, I think it’s only right that you pull up and yell, 'Jake! Jake!'
"But look, LeBron, this one’s for the city, man. Pull up!"
Paul is 3-0 as a professional boxer, having defeated fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib, former three-time NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion Nate Robinson and most recently former UFC fighter Ben Askren in April.
