Three days after knocking out Andre August in the first round, Jake Paul announced that he's partnering with the USA Olympic team to mentor and train boxers ahead of the 2024 games.
Paul made the announcement in a press release, where he stated, "It has always been my goal to shine a spotlight not just on boxing as a sport, but on the people who work so hard to be the best within it. The mindset of pursuing greatness is one I both see and personally share with Mo McCane, Joshua Edwards, and the rest of Team USA’s boxing talent.
"The Olympics are the greatest stage in the world, and I’m honored to help bring awareness to USA Boxing and mentor these young, inspiring athletes as they fight for gold. Anyone who works hard enough to receive the honor to represent Team USA at the Olympics deserves a platform, so I’m looking forward to getting down to business in Colorado Springs with Coach [Billy] Walsh and the rest of Team USA."
USA Boxing executive director Mike McAfee also weighed in on the partnership, stating, "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."
McAfee added, "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."
