Jake Paul gives unexpected reaction to WBA ranking review reports after criticism

According to The Ring, the review comes after “heavy criticism and outrage from other ranked contenders.” The WBA is expected to address Paul’s status at their upcoming European convention in Madrid.

Paul responded to the reports by posting a simple message on X: “Life is good.”

His promotional team, Most Valuable Promotions, added on Instagram: “Can’t say we are surprised. But no matter what, he will not be stopped. Fall down 10 times, get back up every single time. Expect them to hate what they can’t control.”

It’s worth noting that The Ring Magazine, which reported the review, is owned by Turki Alalshikh, who has a public feud with Paul and hasn’t worked with him in the past.

During fight week, The Ring posted several negative comments about Paul, including one about low ticket prices for the Chavez Jr fight, despite it having a record-breaking gate.

Jake Paul targets fight with Badou Jack

Paul now has his sights set on a world title shot. He faced off with WBA champion Gilberto Ramirez after beating Chavez Jr and is also targeting a ranking with the WBC, where Badou Jack holds the belt.

Jack, who turns 42 in October, is an experienced two-division champion but is seen by some as being past his prime.

Paul addressed the potential matchup on X, writing: “Shoutout to the WBA and Gilberto for being disruptors and not being afraid to recognize me. Seeing all these lists with current champion Badou Jack. Give me him next.”
