Fresh off his win over legendary boxer Mike Tyson, YouTube sensation Jake Paul seems to have landed a great partnership with Golden Gloves VR, with fans rallying in support. Paul defeated Tyson via a unanimous decision last month in Texas, which became the most-watched fight in the history of the sport.

Now, recent updates reveal Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions has entered into a partnership with Golden Gloves VR, a virtual reality gaming company, to bring Meta Quest users the experience of training in Paul’s gym in Puerto Rico through virtual reality. MVP revealed the same in an Instagram post earlier today.

Train like Jake Paul

MVP shared a video offering a sneak peek into the immersive VR experience available in the Golden Gloves VR of Paul’s gym. The video highlights the innovative features of the virtual training system, showcasing how it replicates a variety of boxing gym exercises to help users train effectively in a dynamic, interactive environment.

With just a VR headset, users from anywhere in the world can virtually step into Paul’s gym and begin their training. The game even offers virtual reality sparring sessions in the ring, providing an experience similar to real-life sparring—all from the comfort of home. 

Interestingly, Paul’s warehouse gym facility in Puerto Rico reportedly cost him a staggering $4 million, which he shares with his brother, also a YouTube star and WWE fame, Logan Paul. The two-story facility is said to be fitted with the best-in-class equipment.

Regardless, while the game may not fully replace rigorous training for professional boxers, it promises to be an entertaining and engaging tool for boxing enthusiasts. Since the post surfaced on Instagram, fans have shown overwhelming excitement, eagerly embracing the concept.

Fan highlights VR reduces the risk of CTE!

With Paul’s new partnership with Golden Gloves VR, things quickly started to heat up in the comment section. One user joked this reduces the chances of CTE while training. “Less CTE,” the user wrote. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is a progressive brain condition caused by repeated head trauma, a risk that many boxers face throughout their careers. 

Meanwhile, another user already had an opponent in mind he would want to face in the virtual reality game. “I WANT GOYAT!#LIGHTWORK,” the user wrote. Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat recently defeated Whindersson Nunes in their boxing match in the undercard of Paul and Tyson. 

The next user felt this was the future of boxing. “Welcome to the future of boxing training,” the user wrote. However, similar games have been available for a long time. Golden Gloves, the game, has existed before. They just partnered with Paul to use his gym in the game. Plus, realistically, this can not replace boxing training completely. 

Someone else expressed their excitement about the game with two words. “So sick,” the user wrote. Notably, the game is rated 4.3 stars out of 5 in the Meta Store and it’s available on Steam for PC users as well.

While everybody else was celebrating, the partnership seemed to have upset this user. “That’s actually dope asf (I don’t have a vr [crying emoji]),” the user commented. Well, you can buy one starting at $499.99. 

That said, it appears now everyone with a VR headset can walk into Jake Paul’s gym in Puerto Rico and train like ‘The Problem Child’ in virtual reality. Would you like to try the future of boxing?
