Jake Paul lands first round TKO win over Ryan Bourland calls out Canelo Alvarez Highlights

Improving his professional record to 9-1 as a professional over the course of ten outings to the squared circle, polarizing puncher, Jake Paul made incredibly short work of the equally overmatched, Ryan Bourland tonight in San Juan, Puerto Rico — stopping the former Golden Gloves winner with a dominant opening round TKO in their co-main event clash.

Paul, who now rides a run of three consecutive victories, turned in a dominant and completely lopsided win over Noth Dakota native, Bourland in their cruiserweight pairing — with the latter returning to the ring for the first time in two years — following a four year lay-off prior to his comeback.

Fresh from a decision win over UFC alum, Nate Diaz, Ohio native, Paul had landed a first round KO win over Andre August back in December of last year, and scoring his sixth career knockout win, the social media influence overwhelmed Bourland from start to finish before the end of their first round bout.

Wobbling the veteran against the ring ropes, Jake Paul unloaded with a slew of body strikes and hooks upstairs against his compatrior, eventually forcing a stoppage and turning in a first round TKO success.

And following his victory, Paul echoed calls for a future fight with current super middleweight world champion, Canelo Alvarez.

The war of words between Sean Strickland and Jake Paul rages on.

Last month, the two combat sports stars got into a heated exchange on social media after ‘The Problem Child’ took exception to Strickland’s battering of popular Rumble streamer Sneako. Paul challenged Strickland to meet him in Puerto Rico for a sparring session with $1 million on the line.

Strickland accepted the challenge but later revealed that the UFC’s chief business officer Hunter Campbell had blocked him from moving forward. Paul immediately called b*llshit, offering up a series of screenshots revealing a DM exchange between Strickland and himself in an attempt to make it look like ‘Tarzan’ was using his employer as a scapegoat.

Never one to let anyone else have the last word, Strickland fired back on social media, revealing some additional context to the DM exchange along with his own unique commentary.

“Coward and a liar. There are so many legal ways you can die in America. Our founding fathers killed men for less. Bring a gopro, come to my house. State your intent, break a window. I don’t call cops. I don’t press charges. I know you would… but bring the mil please,” Strickland wrote on X.

“Could you picture Jake Paul breaking in my house with a million and a gro pro Saying “I’m here to kill you” lmao Sean you beat a man to death, why didn’t you pull your gun if your life was in danger. “He was on me too fast, I couldn’t get in my pocket” lmao,” Strickland added in a follow-up post.

Make all that of what you will.

Jake Paul returns to the ring on Saturday for an MVP event in San Juan, Puerto Rico. ‘The Problem Child’ will meet 17-2 fighter Ryan Bourland in the co-headliner. Though Bourland has been largely inactive over the last 5+ years, he is a former Golden Gloves champion and National Junior Olympian during his amateur career.

Paul is 8-1 in his pro boxing career.

Jake Paul shares DMs with ‘wannabe alpha male’ Sean Strickland: ‘He needs a hug’

Jake Paul and Sean Strickland

Maybe Sean Strickland just needs a nice long hug from someone who cares.

That is the conclusion drawn by YouTuber-turned-pro-boxer Jake Paul, who suggested that Strickland’s tough guy act is nothing more than a facade designed to hide a man longing for the love and affection he never received from his parental figures.

Or perhaps Sean Strickland is just f*cking crazy.

Either way, it’s quite clear that ‘The Problem Child’ does not like Strickland’s schtick. Paul recently called ‘Tarzan’ out on social media after video footage of the former middleweight champion pummeling popular Rumble streamer Sneako during a sparring session went viral. Paul offered Strickland $1 million to fly to Puerto Rico and spar him in front of cameras.

“The guy seems to be having some sort of quarter-life crisis there and spazzing out on everyone trying to beat up some influencers and such,” Paul said about Strickland.  “It’s a typical story of these UFC guys who call me out and then go quiet.  I said I’ll send you to PJ.  I’ve got DMs.  I’ll put the DMs up on the screen.  I said I’ll send you to PJ.  Let me know where.  We could spar for a million dollars.”  

Paul then proceeded to share his DMs with Strickland.  “Can you come next week?  Any day works!  Will send you a plane,” Paul wrote.  Strickland responded, “I must my Twitter just seen this… What about a real fight? Idk if I can get the UFC on board but with their involvement I think we can make it happen.  Conor did it with Mayweather…”  

Their conversation concluded with Paul adding, “They’ll never let you fight me but you can ask them.  I’m here ready to spar or fight lmk.”  Strickland replied, “I’m gonna to talk to Hunter about a fight.  Man that is a big f*cking paycheck let me see what I can do.”

Jake Paul Accuses Sean Strickland of hiding behind a ‘Tough man complex’

In a video on YouTube, Strickland confirmed that he had spoken to Hunter Campbell — the UFC’s chief business officer — who promptly shut down talks of the pairing.

“All of a sudden it’s, ‘Oh, I would get sued by the UFC if I sparred Jake,’ but you just sparred Sneako.  You could spar with anyone.  Contractually, in your UFC contract, it says nothing about sparring,” Paul said.

“I see a very insecure lost wannabe alpha male that’s hiding behind a tough man complex. He needs a hug. I’ll put my soft hands on his little bald and make him feel the love that his mother or father never gave him.“

Technically, the UFC cannot legally dictate who Sean Strickland spars behind closed doors, but Paul’s challenge was no standard sparring session between two athletes. Paul’s $1 million offer made it a business opportunity that would likely violate the terms of Strickland’s contract.

Jake Paul faces off with Ryan Bourland for the first time ahead of Puerto Rico boxing match this weekend

Outspoken professional boxer, Jake Paul came face-to-face with incoming foe, Ryan Bourland for the first time this weekend, as he draws the 17-2 fighter this weekend in his return to the squared circle in San Juan, Puerto Rico – as the pair meet at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico on Saturday.

Paul, 27, is slated to make his tenth professional walk to the ring this weekend, as he features in his residency in Puerto Rico, following a recent knockout win over Andre August in the first round of their December boxing match in Orlando, Florida.

Jake Paul looks to lodge his ninth professional win this weekend

Attempting to turn in his third straight win as he takes on Bourland – who has fought just once since his 2018, Paul had recorded a decision win over former UFC lightweight title challenger, Nate Diaz in The Ultimate Fighter winner’s first outing in professional boxing last summer in Texas. 

And drawing Bourland this weekend in San Juan, Paul came face-to-face with the former Golden Gloves champion this week – engaging in a rather cordial meeting posted on the Ohio native’s official YouTube channel.

Also set to feature on the card in Puerto Rico, world champion professional boxing star, Amanda Serrano takes main event honors above Paul, as she takes on German featherweight title challenger, Nina Meinke. 

Linked with a potential move to professional mixed martial arts later this year, Paul penned a multi-fight deal with the PFL (Professional Fighters Leauge) late last year – and has been the subject of multiple callouts in the last year from a slew of contenders and mixed martial arts stars. 

Who wins this weekend in San Juan: Jake Paul or Ryan Bourland?

Ex-UFC champion calls out Sean Strickland for ducking $1 million sparring challenge with Jake Paul

Tyron Woodley is calling bullsh*t on Sean Strickland’s claim that the UFC blocked him from accepting Jake Paul’s million-dollar sparring challenge.

After footage emerged online of the former middleweight champion pummeling popular Rumble streamer Sneako in an early morning sparring session ahead of Super Bowl Sunday, ‘The Problem Child’ issued a challenge to Strickland, offering him $1 million if he flies out to Puerto Rico for a session of their own.

“I’ll fly you to PR and we can fight on camera… if you win I’ll give you $1 million,” Paul wrote on X.

Strickland responded with a quasi-death threat online before claiming that Hunter Campbell — the UFC’s chief business officer — blocked him from accepting the offer.

However, ex-welterweight champ and two-time Jake Paul opponent Tyron Woodley is calling cap, claiming that the UFC can’t legally prevent Strickland from sparring with the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

‘’Why the f*ck you asked Hunter? You asked your daddy if you can fight,” Woodley said on YouTube. “You don’t have to ask nobody if you can fight. That just sounds like a hater move off the top. When you hear that … when you gotta smash somebody down before they give you the reason why they can’t fight, you already can hear it’s a hater move. Let me break some stuff down to you legally. Legally, they cannot stop him from sparring Jake Paul.”

“Jake Paul said he wanted to spar him the same way Sneako walked into the cage,” Woodley continued. “I want you to know [Sneako] had to walk through security, he had to be signed in on the list. I know that, that’s the APEX. They let him come in there. He can spar with anyone he wants to. Jake Paul didn’t say, come and meet me in f*cking arena or come and meet me in a sanctioned fight. He said come to my gym. Nobody can stop him from doing that” (h/t MMA Mania).

While it is true that the UFC can’t legally prevent Strickland from sparring with anyone willing to sign a waiver, the complication likely comes from the $1 million offer.
