“It Takes Courage to Step in the Ring”: After Andre August Win, Jake Paul Pens Supportive Message for All Boxers Who Fought on the December 15 Card

Last night, Jake Paul entered the ring for a third time this year against his relatively lesser-known opponent, Andre August. The influencer-turned-boxer registered a stellar first-round knockout victory. In the wake of it, while fans rallied behind him, in his sportive spirit, he congratulated all the other fighters on the card that made the night successful.

When Jake Paul headlines a fight, he makes sure a solid card is stacked. For his Caribe Royale Orlando fight, he kept the tradition going. On the undercard were some of the most promising names. From the likes of Shadasia Green, Yoenis Tellez, and Lorenzo Medina, it was a night that delivered the lavish promises of entertainment it had made. Now, as he celebrates his groundbreaking win, he included these names in the victory lap.

Jake Paul sends an encouraging message to his undercard fighters

‘Problem Child’ could not have ended his run in the sport for the year any better than he did last night. Concluding the fight in the first round, he marked his name as the leader in the cross-over fighting league. With the gleaming smile of a victor on his face, he was seen riding on his older brother’s shoulder in his latest X post. With the endearing picture, he wrote a heartfelt note of appreciation for the fighters that were on the undercard. He noted, “Respect to all the boxers on the card last night. It takes courage to step in the ring no matter what the outcome.”

Speaking to Franchon Crews-Dezurn, Yoenis, and Lorenzo, he wrote, “Congrats Franchon, Yoenis and Lorenzo on the dubs.” While Yoenis Tellez defeated Livan Navarro via 10th-round KO, Lorenzo emerged victorious against Joshua Temple in the 6th round through a technical knockout. However, Shadasia Green despite her unanimous decision loss to Franchon found praise with Paul. He added, “Shadasia – let’s turn this L to your biggest W yet.”

Paul’s impressive victory last night has boosted his confidence like never before. With all his aspirations seemingly boundless now, he has set his vision on another professional fighter for his next clash.

Jake Paul Eyes Viddal Riley

Clarifying that he holds no interest in fighting influencers like KSI (perhaps his oldest and biggest rival), Problem Child suggested that he wants to continue fighting professional boxers. The name that came up? Viddal Riley. Elaborating on the choice, the 26-year-old said, “That’d be interesting. And he [Riley] has a name, a profile. And that’s something that excites me for sure.”
