Jake Paul recently shared a video on Twitter showing himself in an intensive care unit. Moreover, he mentioned in the caption that he had an accident. But, he will still be able to fight on August 6, 2022.

He further said, “So guys I’m in the hospital, I had an accident. I’m still going to be able to fight on the 6th of August. So get your tickets at msg.com before they sell out. But, I broke my back.”

Additionally, he also divulged details on how he broke his back. Paul said, “Carrying the promotion for this event, it’s broken. Nurse, more morphine. I broke my back, carrying the last 5 fights promotion. My opponents never sell s**t.”

Paul also added that his opponents were so bad in promotions that they would be unable to sell a pen to a writer. It is also worth noting that his girlfriend, Julia Rose, played the nurse in the sketch.

Meanwhile, Paul’s statement caught the eye of Bumstead. In fact, he went on to hilariously agree with Paul by mentioning that he was stating the true facts.

On the other hand, there is no denying the fact that Paul is a genius while marketing his fights.

The upcoming Jake Paul vs Hasim Rahman Jr. showdown

If there is a boxer that Jake Paul yearns to fight, it’s his eternal favorite, Tommy Fury. In fact, Fury was Paul’s initial opponent for his fight on August 6, 2022. However, the recent travel bans on the Fury family put their fight in jeopardy.
