Jake Paul flaunts big belly in bizarre workout video ahead of Mike Tyson fight

Jake Paul's latest appearance is raising eyebrows. In an Instagram video shared Monday, the YouTuber-turned-boxer seemingly wore a fake big belly and set a new personal record by bench-pressing 500lbs. The 27-year-old's latest stint comes ahead of his bout with Mike Tyson. The high-stakes boxing match was initially slated for July 20 but was postponed to November 15 after the legendary boxer suffered from an ulcer flare-up while onboard a flight.

His own brother, Logan Paul, quipped, “When you due bro?” This remark and the fact that some of his stomach tattoos were missing strongly suggest that the internet personality wore a fake belly.

Jake captioned the video, “Strongest boxer in existence.” After seeing a surge in “baby bump” remarks, he humoured with the pregnancy jokes and commented, “Name a stronger pregnant person than me…” However, not all of his fans were impressed by his seemingly hilarious skit.

The video made its way to other social media platforms, with X users retweeting it and sharing their reactions. “I’ve never been more confident in Mike Tyson than after watching this video that Jake Paul just put out on Instagram,” wrote an X user.
