Boxer and former social media personality Jake Paul will train with the USA boxing team and accompany them to the Paris Olympics 2024. Paul will travel to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado and cover his training stint with the national USA team on his social media channels. In addition to this, Paul will also guide two athletes on how to grow their brands. The former social media star runs a non-profit organisation called Boxing Bullies that hosts events for young boxers about building awareness of the causes and effects of bullying.
Mike McAtee, the executive director of USA Boxing released an official statement and said, "Within just three years of becoming a professional boxer, Jake Paul has become a standout inspiration to younger generations and has emerged as one of the most exciting, influential figures in boxing history. Jake's mentorship will be a vital resource to the young athletes on Team USA to ensure they capitalize on building brand IP as they get the opportunity to perform on the biggest stage in the world at the most iconic contest in history: the Olympics."
The Paris Olympics boxing competition is scheduled between July 27 and August 10. The medal rounds in the competition will take place at Roland Garros Stadium, also called the home of the French Open tennis grand slam.
My commitment to boxing is much more than my in-ring accomplishments: Jake Paul
The boxer reacted to the same and announced a new assignment on X (formerly Twitter). Paul tweeted, “I'm honored to partner with USA Boxing as the 2024 Paris Olympics approach. I’ll be training with the Olympic squad in Colorado Springs this winter and accompanying them to Paris this July to amplify our country’s best amateur boxers.”
He added, “My commitment to boxing is much more than my in-ring accomplishments. I am determined to make my impact outside the ring bigger than anything I do within it. I believe the United States has the best boxers. Let’s put it to the test. Anyone who works hard enough to fight for their country in the most iconic contest has my support. Team USA let’s go!!! See y’all in Paris.”
