Fans had mixed reactions to a video of Jake Paul knocking down his training partner in a sparring session. Paul, a prominent figure in the influencer boxing circuit, has received praise for his progression in boxing. However, his choice of opponents has attracted criticism as he has largely competed against aging veterans from MMA and boxing.
In a recent video posted by @BoxingKingdom14 on X, Paul is seen catching his significantly larger training partner with an overhand right, causing his partner to fall on his knees from the impact.

Jake Paul wants to prove doubters wrong in 2025
Jake Paul is coming off a unanimous decision win over Mike Tyson in his last fight, which took place in November 2024. While the 28-year-old has repeatedly stated his ambition is to win a boxing world title, he has yet to face ranked contenders.
In recent months, 'The Problem Child' has called out boxing greats such as Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Gervonta Davis, but those fights have not materialized. In an interview with CNN, Paul laid out his goal, stating:
“I want to fight everybody, and I’m going to get to all opponents. There’s a line, but the majority of the time I want to pick the biggest and toughest challenges that people don’t think I’m going to win, so I can prove them wrong and shock the world time and time again.” [H/T CNN]
While the fight against 'Canelo' is currently not in sight, Paul expressed confidence in his abilities in the aforementioned interview, stating that he will be significantly improved when the fight eventually takes place. A recent report from Yahoo! Sports claimed that Alvarez vs. Paul is in the works for May 3. However, the claims have not been substantiated by Paul and Alvarez, or their representatives.
