Adrien Broner responds to Jake Paul rumors with a heated warning

In a video captured by Boxing Kingdom on X, Broner unloaded on the rumor mill—and didn’t mince words. ‘With all that playing you doing on the internet with this me and Jake Paul s**t… Jake Paul, I’ll knock you out. All this playing you keep doing, I’ll knock him out, bro,’ he said, clearly agitated by the speculation.

Apparently, someone let Broner know he and Jake Paul were being mentioned in the same breath. And while nothing has been officially announced, the idea of a Broner vs. Paul presser—let alone a fight—would undoubtedly stir interest. Broner, never one for dull moments, brings drama to every ring walk, and fans would likely tune in regardless of the size difference.

That size gap, however, is real. Paul weighed nearly 200 pounds for his bout with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., while Broner hit the scale at 146 pounds against Cobbs. At this point in Paul's career, it feels like he’s moved past the Adrien Broners of the world.

Still, Jake has floated the idea of an exhibition with the much smaller Gervonta 'Tank' Davis—while Davis is a superstar, he's still a much smaller man—so anything is possible in today’s boxing world.

Whether or not this fight ever becomes real, Broner’s message was clear: keep the speculation respectful—or prepare for fireworks.
