Social media star Jake Paul will continue his amateur boxing career in Colorado Springs, training alongside Olympic hopefuls from Team USA ahead of the 2024 Summer Games in Paris. “The Problem Child” will also accompany his fellow pugilists to “The City of Light” as they pursue bronze, silver, and gold medals in the “sweet science.”
“I’m honored to partner with USA Boxing as the 2024 Paris Olympics approach,” Paul wrote on Twitter. “I’ll be training with the Olympic squad in Colorado Springs this winter and accompanying them to Paris this July to amplify our country’s best amateur boxers. My commitment to boxing is much more than my in ring accomplishments.”
“I am determined to make my impact outside the ring bigger than anything I do within it,” Paul continued. “I believe the United States has the best boxers. Let’s put it to the test. Anyone who works hard enough to fight for their country in the most iconic contest has my support. Team USA let’s go!!! See y’all in Paris.”
Paul is hellbent on proving his boxing career is more than just a long con or social media stunt, taking a step back from the influencer circus to work his way up the cruiserweight ladder. “The Problem Child” is coming off a knockout victory over Andre August earlier this month in Orlando, pushing his professional record to 8-1 with five finishes.
