A verbal jab from Jake Paul stirred the pot. Paul claimed to have knocked down Andre August’s coach, Justin Deshone, in a past sparring session. This bold assertion surfaced just days before their scheduled fight, igniting a fiery debate. August and Deshone, in an interview, addressed this claim.
But instead of a straightforward denial, their responses were intriguingly vague. Deshone’s cryptic “it is what it is” and August’s remark on the missing YouTube evidence added a peculiar twist. As the boxing community buzzes, the truth remains shrouded in mystery.

Andre August challenges Jake Paul’s sparring tale
Jake Paul’s claim sets the stage. He boldly stated, “Did your coach tell you that I dropped him in sparring?” This provocative question, posed at the pre-fight press conference, was a clear jab at Andre August and his coach, Justin Deshone.
The conversation during the interview vividly illustrated the complexity of this claim. The interviewer, seeking clarity, asked, “He (Jake Paul) did bring up your coach yesterday, saying that he dropped your coach. How do you respond to that? I mean this is supposed to be about Andre but it’s bringing you into it.”
Andre’s coach, Deshone, replied with a notable nonchalance: “He can say what he wants to say, it is what it is. I know what happened, he knows what happened.” This guarded response neither confirmed nor denied the incident, leaving room for speculation. Probing further, the interviewer questioned, “So what did happen?” Deshone’s answer was brief and enigmatic: “No comment, it was a straight moment man.”
Andre August then chimed in, skeptically noting the absence of any corroborating evidence: “He said he was going to post the footage but ain’t nothing pulled up yet on YouTube.” The interviewer mentioned Paul’s claim of having sent a text or email about the incident. Deshone’s response was a mix of skepticism and anticipation: “Okay, I’ll wait.”
This exchange reveals much while confirming little, keeping the readers engrossed in the unfolding drama. Each statement, carefully measured and delivered, adds layers to the already complex narrative surrounding the upcoming fight. However, many are already looking ahead to Jake Paul’s next fight after his Andre August bout. Any clue what the future holds for the Problem Child? Rolly Romero does.
Rolly Romero’s endorsement
