Jake Paul detaches a pro fighter’s upper lip during a sparring session 

Bare-knuckle boxer Jake Bostwick spoke about a sparring incident against Jake Paul. He said, “So I was down for it, but the guy said ‘Listen, the guy can box, please don’t think he can’t’. And this was coming from a professional coach, a guy I know.”

“I was driving down there and I was nervous, it’s like an hour drive, and I was thinking ‘Oh, there’s gonna be all these cameras and all his boys, I really need to show up. We did three solid rounds and he caught me with some shots! He hit me with an uppercut and detached my top lip! He caught me with some s***! I was like ‘What the f***?'” Bostwick said about the incident.
