Jake Paul Eyes 2028 Olympic Boxing Bid

Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, has announced his intention to compete in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, aiming to bring home a gold medal for Team USA. Paul, who has a professional record of 10-1, expressed his frustration with the lack of gold medals for the U.S. in Olympic boxing, particularly after the 2024 Paris Games where only Omari Jones secured a bronze. Despite mixed opinions on his capability, Paul is determined to extend his boxing career and qualify for the Olympics. Before focusing on the Olympics, Paul is set to fight former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in November 2024. The inclusion of boxing in the 2028 Olympics is still pending a decision from the International Olympic Committee.
