Jake Paul is busy preparing himself for what could be his biggest test as a professional boxer. The YouTuber began his journey in 2020 and has successfully trounced all the adversaries. But, of course, he frequently gets the flak for picking his opponents. Most of them, such as Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren, come from mixed martial arts backgrounds. However, he would now be fighting a boxer in a true sense, Tommy Fury. So is it about settling the frequently raised questions about his boxing skills?

Most fans and followers know how the upcoming fight culminated after locking horns and bickerings for nearly three years. Anyhow, it seems both Paul and Fury are entirely focused on training so that they could give their best when they enter the ring.

Details of Tommy Fury and his campmates are yet to filter in. But, interestingly, fans got a view of the entourage accompanying Paul in Dubai. But it is a surprise entry that might leave a few startled.

What did Jake Paul say about Jasper?

Top Rank Boxing, which has over 2 million subscribers, uploaded the nearly five-minute-long video on YouTube. First, it begins with ‘The Problem Child,’ speaking. Then one by one, other team members, including the head trainer, Danny Smith, and his father, Gregory Allan Paul, talk. Finally, with barely a minute left, Jasper arrives. In the video, below his name, it’s mentioned as “Jake’s Best Friend.

So when the reporter asked, “You are his official best friend.” Jasper responded, “There’s a label, well we’ve been dating for a few years now.

Later Paul mentioned, “I love that kid. He just brings joy to my life, and he’s such a good person, and I trust him, and uh man whenever we’re together it’s just fun it’s really fun so he’s a blessing in my life and I would do anything for him…

It’s unascertainable whether the person introduced as Jasper in Jake Paul’s video and the musician “Kill Jasper” is the same. But given their past interactions, such as the one below, it could be safe to make the assumption.

According to Washington D.C based ‘talent management and music marketing’ firm “DCR,” Kill Jasper’s real name is Demaurae Rondelle Nichols. Taking up music since he was six, the Compton-born talent dropped out of school, focussing on his calling. The rapper considers legends such as Eminem and Green Day as his inspirations. According to DCR’s website “downersclub.com,” Kill Jasper enjoys a dedicated following: over 15k on Spotify, 75k on Instagram, and 5k on Twitter. But the two were reportedly involved in a controversy over songwriting credits. Nevertheless, Paul and Jasper displayed great bonhomie in today’s video. Hence it would be safe to say that they are good friends.

Who are Jake Paul’s best friends?

Unfortunately, there’s a lack of clarity on the current close friends of Jake Paul. According to a few portals, such as “ranker.com,” and “heightline.com,”  Chance Sutton, Anthony Trujillo, and Nick Crompton could be counted among his closest friends. Reportedly, they became friends while forming the social media group “Team 10.”
