The athletes of the USA had the best outing at this year’s 2024 Olympics in Paris, recording a mindboggling 126 medals. In fact, they bagged 35 medals more than China, who were in no way a close second. However, the boxing team heavily underperformed in the Olympics, bagging just a single bronze medal, and Jake Paul isn’t too happy about it. ‘El Gallo’ wants to get into the mix and has announced that he’s looking toward 2028 as he plans to compete in the Olympics for the all-important gold medal.

Jake Paul’s story, from YouTube to boxing, has been a phenomenal one, although he has his critics. However, UFC legend Michael Bisping, respectfully, gave him a reality check for the things he’ll have to go through to fulfill his Olympic dream. Paul seems to have all the support from Michael Bisping when it comes to fighting in the Olympics because he will have some real competition.

That’s also a great avenue for the 27-year-old to silence his doubters, who call him out for boxing past-their-prime MMA fighters. But guess what? Competing in the Olympics requires conforming to the rules, and as per the rules, Paul might face some issues with weight cuts. “If he goes to the Olympics, a lot of things will change, that’s for sure. Number one, he wouldn’t be able to cut weight because in the Olympics you have to box every few days,” Michael Bisping stated on his YouTube channel.

Another thing that might sway fans away from watching Jake Paul compete in the Olympics will be the lack of extravagance, the buildup, and the noise he makes when he promotes his fight. After all, he’s going to represent his country. “It wouldn’t be his promotion, so everything’s not going to be centered around him… He’ll be doing it literally to represent his country and to test himself and potentially become an Olympic gold medalist,” Bisping further stated.

This, however, is not even the biggest problem, and that’s only because there’s one more thing to consider before Jake Paul starts preparing for his Olympic dreams.

Michael Bisping reveals another issue with the Olympic plans of Jake Paul

Jake Paul has often been dubbed as a ‘weight bully’ because he’s fought multiple opponents who are smaller in stature. That has supposedly given him an edge over his opponents. Former UFC stars like Nate Diaz, and most recently, Mike Perry, were distinctively smaller in stature when they fought Jake Paul, as some fans pointed out. But in the Olympics, he will have to go up against opponents similar to his stature, and while that’s a big test, it could spell trouble for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

“The problem is he would have to compete as a heavyweight, 92 kilos, about 203 lbs… he would be fighting against people his size, his strength, probably more experienced as boxers,” Michael Bisping stated. The real question here is can Jake Paul, who started boxing just a few years ago, be able to outperform athletes who’ve been competing all their lives to taste Olympics gold? That remains to be seen.
