Jake Paul has been putting out call-outs to several combat kingpins from various weight classes. While most of them have ignored him, ‘The Problem Child’ is still surging in his journey by grabbing legitimate attention from the fans and several other fighters. Coming from the social media community, Jake Paul didn’t have many believers to his side when he first embraced the sport of boxing.
However, his emphatic win against Ben Askren, and then back-to-back wins against Tyron Woodley, along with an existing record of 5-0, have clearly turned the tables. Paul seems serious about taking on the sport and envisions himself becoming a world champion someday. That said, his trainer BJ Flores recently revealed the one boxer they extensively follow regarding the in-ring techniques.

In an exclusive chat with The Schmo, Flores said, “I watch honestly, he is not in the game right now but I show Jake a lot of Andre Ward. How he is able to set things up. Andre was a master at changing levels, he is a master at taunting and fainting. He is a master at setting up certain shots at the right opportunity and he didn’t waste punches and that’s kind of what I like to style. You know Jake’s style off, I like to follow Andre Ward style.”

Two-division world champion Andre Ward has retired with an undefeated record of 32-0, including 16 KOs. Nicknamed ‘Soldier of God’, he was one of the finest in his time and is still regarded as one of the most technically efficient boxers. If Paul can truly channelize Wards’ skills in the squared circle, he can fetch prominent results in his favor.
