BROCK LESNAR backed Logan Paul to become a WWE star as he heaped praise on the YouTuber and his brother Jake.
The American brothers are two of the biggest social media personalities in the world and have used their followings to carve out prizefighting skills.
Younger brother Jake is 5-0 in the ring while Logan has boxed only three times before, more recently focussing his efforts on a WWE stint.
Their exploits have caught the eye of WWE legend and ex-UFC champion Lesnar, 44.
He told New York Post: “Great for YouTube. I’m happy for those guys.
“They worked at something. They built their name up. They thought outside the box, they promoted themselves.”
Logan, 26, first boxed in 2018 in a white collar bout against online rival KSI, 28, which ended in a draw.
But he lost their rematch a year later by scrappy split-decision when they turned professional.

Logan only returned last June but did so in a shock exhibition against boxing icon Floyd Mayweather, 45, which ended without a winner.
Meanwhile, Jake is unbeaten with four knockouts in five fights, beating a YouTuber, ex-NBA player and two former UFC fighters.
For older brother Logan, the next ring he will compete in will be a WWE one, at WrestleMania.
He will partner The Miz against Rey Mysterio and son Dominik, with Lesnar tipping the celebrity for success under the right circumstances.
He said: “Can he become a professional wrestler? Maybe if he puts as much ambition into that.”
