Eddie Hearn has hailed Logan Paul's "unbelievable" performance after he defeated The Miz at SummerSlam.
The YouTube star took part in his second WWE pay-per-view event last weekend when he defeated former tag-team partner The Miz and put on a scintillating display. It was the second time Paul had stunned fans having defeated WWE legend Rey Mysterio and his son Dominik when teaming up with The Miz at this year's Wrestlemania.
Paul's latest appearance came after he signed a long-term deal with the WWE. Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn was the latest to praise the YouTube star during a Q&A on his Instagram profile, where he said: "Can we take a minute to appreciate Logan Paul. Have you watched him on WWE? I'm not saying he's a great fighter, but have you watched him on WWE? Unbelievable, unbelievable."
Hearn had already given his public seal of approval after commenting "fair play" on a video of Paul's best moves from the weekend's action in Nashville. Paul had been calling out The Miz since his rival confirmed his return to the WWE after turning on him in betrayal at Wrestlemania.
Paul was excited to settle their new rivalry and he certainly left fans with a taste for more after leaving them with a move to remember from the top rope. The YouTube star unleashed a remarkable frog-splash gliding through the air from the corner buckle on to his helpless rival who he had laid flat out on the announcer table that was set up ringside.
The fans gasped and were clearly in shock as Paul sealed the victory, before he was cheered in a stark contrast to the reception he received at the start of the event. He was delighted with his performance and went on to salute his infamous dive in the post-fight assessment.

“I am exhausted," he said after his clash with The Miz. "I have got to be honest this sport is insane, this is one of the craziest things I have ever done, I can not believe how quickly I have been thrown in at the highest level and expected to perform, but in the end that is what I do. I put The Miz in his place, I told him exactly what I was going to do and I did it.
"He underestimated me, respect is respect but I beat my mentor. That is the stuff you dream about as a kid. Like that is the stuff I emulated growing up. I would stand on the end of the couch and body slam my friend and I got to do it now in real life, in Nashville with 50,000 people watching, man it is a moment. It is a moment I will remember for the rest of my life."
