It’s a critical moment for Jake Paul. The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who fought off Mike Perry‘s challenge in July, now eagerly awaits what could be the most important fight of his crossover boxing career. On November 15, he will step into the ring to face none other than ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson. So the 27-year-old Ohioan is leaving no stone unturned to prepare himself. However, it’s not all work and no fun at Paul’s camp.

His latest offering seems to have hit the mark with the fans. Droves of them had fun as they witnessed ‘The Problem Child’ lifting heavy weight (doubts?) while, per what many felt, donning a prosthetic suit that seemingly made his stomach swell. Needless to say, the act apparently encouraged elder brother Logan Paul to pitch his joke as well.

Jake Paul: Mission accomplished

“New PR, 500lbs. I’m the strongest heavyweight in existence, no spot,” said Jake Paul as he sat on the bench. Surrounded by a bunch of cheering supporters and friends, he slowly lies down on his back to lift the weights hanging on the bar above him. Each side displayed 5 big plates.

Then, after ensuring a wide grip, ‘The Problem Child’ lifts the bar above his chest and gradually brings it down. Then, as it appears, the clip shows him lifting the weights up with some difficulty. but he manages to place it back on the barbell rack.

The moment he accomplishes the feat, Paul and his friends scream their lungs out. The Ohioan who vanishes out of the camera promptly makes a return, calling out to everyone to try his ‘Betr’ apps. On his post, Jake Paul had a poser for everyone: “Name a stronger pregnant person than me.”

Needless to say, the whole vibe of the conversation hung around Paul’s quote. But a few others took the opportunity to make some probing remarks well. Let’s check what a few of them had to say.

First, while obviously joking over his young brother’s hilarious take, Logan Paul rather had a peculiar doubt to clarify. “When you due, bro,” said the WWE star. However, a fan found Jake Paul’s ability to lift 500 pounds quite laughable. They could have done a better job than the YouTuber-turned-boxer. The fan said, “Just one rep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Jake fail, I could do 5 reps easy 🤷🏽‍♂️”

For the next follower, it all seemed like a drama. Questioning the viability of the 500-pound claim, they asserted in a genuine scenario, loaded mass often to curve the bar at the ends. This is what they said: “Fake plates. 500# flex bar. His body doesn’t push 500#. Maybe 315, maybe.”

Likewise, the next one too didn’t seem too impressed. They questioned why someone would pretend to lift such enormous weights and how it would help them professionally. “What does faking a bench press of 405 do for your career? Smh, I don’t get it,” the follower wondered.

This fan expressed disbelief. Urging everyone to recognize that Paul could be using a prosthetic suit to exaggerate his appearance, they found it surprising how a few would debate over its authenticity. They said, “It’s a prosthetic suit. Come on, people.”

Jake Paul might have done all this in pure jest. Nevertheless, in the past, he shared videos that featured him dead lifting some crazy weights.

Given the sheer age gap between Tyson and Paul, many have voiced their concerns over the fight. The fight had to undergo postponement following ‘Iron’ Mike’s mid-flight medical emergency. Nevertheless, the ex-Disney star remains clear about what the Netflix fights mean to him and how it is going to end up.

What are your thoughts on the November 15 Tyson-Paul fight? Do you feel the former heavyweight champion will inflict a second career loss on ‘The Problem Child’?
