Jake Paul backed for US Olympics boxing as he wants to win gold in 2028 YouTube: Jake PaulJake Paul has been backed to compete in boxing at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles by Michael Bisping. The former UFC star says it\u2019d be \u201cincredible\u201d if Jake won a medal. Since getting into the world of professional boxing, Jake Paul has had a few plans. He wants to take on big-name fighters and, eventually, hold a world championship. On the latter, the WBA is \u201copen\u201d to seeing him fight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for a belt, but that may only happen after Jake fights Mike Tyson. However, the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 has also added a new goal to that \u2013 an Olympic medal. It was something he brought up following Team USA\u2019s disappointing showing at Paris 2024. They failed to medal in any of the boxing weight classes. \u201cI\u2019m sick and tired of waiting around, waiting for another gold for Team USA,\u201d he said, during an appearance on BS with Jake Paul. \u201cI\u2019m not retiring. I probably just added a couple more years onto my boxing career because of that, but Los Angeles, United States, sick as f**k.\u201d Well, now the YouTuber-turned-boxer\u2019s plan has been backed by former UFC star Michael Bisping. \u201cYou know what, I\u2019ve actually got a lot of respect for (that idea). If he did go and fight in the Olympics, well first of all it wouldn\u2019t be his promotion so he wouldn\u2019t be able to cherry-pick opponents, he wouldn\u2019t be able to take people that are way past their sell-by date like Mike Tyson, who is 58 years old,\u201d Bisping said in his August 12 YouTube video. Timestamp of 2:50 \u2018The Count\u2019 added that he \u201cwants\u201d to see Jake take on opponents of a similar height and weight. \u201cThe last time Jake Paul fought someone his own size and weight, we know that he lost. I\u2019m not here to s**t on Jake Paul, fair play to him, I hope he does go to the Olympics, that\u2019s what I wanna see and I\u2019d really respect him taking on real opposition and real challenges,\u201d he added, referring to that loss to Tommy Fury. Bisping added that it would be \u201cincredible\u201d if Jake did win Olympic gold. However, it would be challenging as he\u2019d be boxing every few days. Boxing may not yet even appear at the 2028 Olympics. So, we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
