Jake Paul was recently in conversation with Anthony Pompliano, where he discussed his boxing journey and more. As the conversation progressed, Paul was quizzed about the people who say his fights were rigged.
Paul went on to say, “The people who watch me can’t even fu**ing believe that I’m beating these people. So they say it’s rigged right? They say my fights are rigged, they can’t believe it. So, the fact, I understand where they are coming from because this shouldn’t be possible, no boxer in history has done this. No one’s taking on this tough of opponents this early on in their careers. They usually build up 25 fights, then fight someone tough for the first time.”
‘The Problem Child’ has a remarkable boxing resume now and has a stellar 6-0 record. He recently became the talk of the town as he defeated UFC legend, Anderson Silva, inside the squared circle.
