Jake Paul<\/a> has spent years finding unconventional ways to attract attention, but his latest appearance in a boxing gym has left some fans more concerned about an animal than his potential return to the boxing<\/a> ring.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old appeared in a video shared by boxing social media account Happy Punch, showing him working around a heavy bag with a large snake wrapped around the chain above it.<\/p>\n

Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam unexpectedly grow their family with 15 new babies<\/p>\n

The animal, believed to be a python, remained close to the bag as Paul circled cautiously, occasionally throwing punches while watching its movements.<\/p>\n

An unidentified person could be heard giving instructions from off camera, telling Paul to “start jabbing around it” as he attempted to continue the exercise.<\/p>\n

The footage lasted approximately 40 seconds, but quickly generated criticism from viewers who questioned the decision to involve a live animal in boxing training.<\/p>\n

Putting snake under unnecessary stress<\/p>\n

Rather than focusing on Paul’s technique, much of the reaction centered on whether the snake was being subjected to unnecessary distress.<\/p>\n

“Bro, this is just animal abuse,” one social media user wrote, while another questioned the apparent purpose of the exercise.<\/p>\n

“The f**k did the snake do to him? This is trashy man,” another viewer commented, reflecting the frustration expressed by several people responding to the footage.<\/p>\n

Others accused Paul of using the animal primarily to generate attention, suggesting the unusual setup offered little practical benefit to his preparations.<\/p>\n

Paul hasn’t provided a detailed public explanation of the session, leaving questions about whether the exercise was intended as legitimate training or simply entertainment.<\/p>\n

Controversy follows Paul after Joshua knockout<\/p>\n

The backlash comes as Paul considers returning to boxing following his defeat against former heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua in December 2025.<\/p>\n

Joshua knocked Paul out in the sixth round of their Miami contest, leaving the American with a broken jaw that subsequently required multiple surgeries.<\/p>\n

That defeat reignited debate about Paul’s credentials, particularly after years of criticism concerning the age and competitive backgrounds of several previous opponents.<\/p>\n

One viewer referenced the loss while responding to the snake footage, asking, “How is this going to help his glass jaw?”<\/p>\n

Another sarcastically remarked, “So stunning and brave,” questioning whether the exercise demonstrated anything meaningful about Paul’s boxing abilities.<\/p>\n

Paul’s next move remains unclear<\/p>\n

Paul has suggested that a return to competition could happen in early 2027, although no opponent or official date has been confirmed.<\/p>\n

He has also expressed interest in professional football and discussed potential future fights, including another possible venture into mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n

Unusual training content is not entirely new territory for Paul, who previously shared footage involving his Golden Retriever, Thor, whom he jokingly described as a boxing coach.<\/p>\n

The latest video, however, has generated a different response because it involves a snake positioned directly beside a moving heavy bag.<\/p>\n

Whether intended as entertainment or preparation, the footage has shifted attention away from Paul’s comeback ambitions and toward questions about the treatment of animals during promotional boxing content.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul has spent years finding unconventional ways to attract attention, but his latest appearance in a boxing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":930497,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-930496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/930496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=930496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/930496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/930497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=930496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=930496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=930496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
