Jake Paul's Wild Night with LeBron James: From Olympic Celebrations to Boxing Dreams
Jake Paul, the YouTube star known for his wild antics, was recently spotted in a bit of a wobbly state as he stumbled into a car after a night of partying with LeBron James and the victorious USA basketball team following their gold medal triumph at the Paris Olympics.
The USA team's impressive 98-87 victory over France was a cause for celebration, with basketball legend Stephen Curry leading the charge with a remarkable 24-point performance. Amidst the jubilant atmosphere, Jake Paul found himself in the midst of hoop royalty, dancing the night away with the likes of LeBron James.
Despite his upcoming high-profile boxing match against the legendary Mike Tyson scheduled for November, Jake Paul made a spontaneous trip to Paris to revel in the Olympic success with the basketball squad.
Caught on camera leaving the venue, Jake appeared slightly unsteady on his feet, his face obscured by his hand, clearly elated and leaning on one of his hefty bodyguards for support, who affectionately ruffled his hair.
A viral video captured the moment when Jake almost stumbled while getting into the car, prompting an onlooker to caution him to "be careful!" as he settled into his seat. The night also saw basketball icons like LeBron James and Kevin Durant bidding farewell, marking the end of a raucous celebration of USA's Olympic dominance with an impressive medal tally of 126.
Known for his recent victory over former bare-knuckle fighter Mike Perry, Jake Paul has been steadily climbing the celebrity ladder, engaging in lucrative matchups against MMA fighters and seasoned boxing veterans.
Looking towards the future, Jake Paul has set his sights on Olympic glory in boxing, expressing his frustration with the lack of gold medals for Team USA in the sport. "I'm going to compete in the 2028 Olympics for boxing in Los Angeles," he declared on his podcast. "I'm tired of waiting around for Team USA to secure another gold. Los Angeles, here I come. Gold medal, I'm coming for you."
Preparations are underway for Jake Paul's highly anticipated exhibition match with Mike Tyson, set to take place in Texas later this year and available for streaming on Netflix. Originally scheduled for August, the fight was postponed due to Tyson experiencing dizziness and nausea during a flight from Miami to LA, prompting his medical team to advise a break from training.
With victories already under his belt against former MMA champions like Ben Askren, Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul is poised for another showdown with a seasoned ex-pro in Tyson, aiming to add another win to his record.
