JAKE PAUL goes to the Paris Olympics in 2024.
The YouTuber turned prize fighter went 10-1 with victory over former UFC star and boxer Mike Perry in Florida.
And now he’s preparing to join the Team USA boxing team in the French capital — but not to compete.
Paul, 27, is instead an honorary coach tasked with raising the profile of gold medal contenders.
He is also using his experience on the big stage to help boxers deal with the pressures of the Games.
Paul said in Brother Logan podcast: “I’m bringing the meditation and them being prepared for the big moment and being there to support them in every way possible.
“I don’t know how much help this will help, I’m sure they’ll be fine with or without me.
“But also to try to get attention. We’re releasing a documentary about my whole week with them and the whole program that’s going on there.”
Paul even explored the idea of competing in Paris, but missed the deadline – now eyeing the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
He said: “We tried. I missed the mark. When we came up with the idea, we were three weeks behind schedule.

“I can do it in L.A. I think I can. I feel like it would be sick. I’d win the gold medal, bro…
“It’s a farce. We missed the limit by about three weeks, but if I could have gone to a qualifying tournament, it would have worked.
“It would be hilarious. Become cruiserweight world champion and then get rid of my professional license and become an amateur, win a gold medal in 2028.”
Paul spent a week with the US boxing team in Colorado before his last fight and will now head to France to rejoin them.
He will then focus on his controversial showdown against Mike Tyson, 58, which has been rescheduled for November 15 in Texas.
