Years After Revealing ‘Disturbing’ Truth, Former Sparring Partner Shows His Admiration for Jake Paul and His Girlfriend

Not sure, perhaps; Jutta Leerdam‘s cornering technique seemed tailor-made for a crossover boxer. Meeting Jake Paul over Instagram during the later-half of 2022 was fateful as the Dutch speed skater and the YouTuber-turned-boxer later painted Miami red. Paul and Leerdam, who have been going around for some time, are deemed a couple by most fans and followers. Many, including a few from the closed circle, couldn’t help but gush over the lovey-dovey couple’s latest photographs on the gram.

Twenty-four-year-old Jutta Leerdam is a professional speed skater from the Netherlands. And her credentials are pretty impressive. She won a silver medal in the thousand meters sprint at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Following the feat, she won the gold medal at the Hamar, Norway-held World Sprint Speed Skating championship. Reportedly, she dated another speed skater, Koen Verweij. However, they broke up in August.

Few words of appreciation from a training partner

When he saw the couple’s mushy pics, Anthony ‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor couldn’t help but comment, “True love.” The mixed martial artist-turned-boxer rides on his recent win over content maker Salt Papi during KSI‘s MF & DAZN: X Series 007. ‘Pretty Boy,’ whose mixed martial arts record stands at seven wins against five losses, reportedly joined Jake Paul’s camp before the latter took on Ben Askern.

After that, Taylor assisted his friend as he took on former UFC Welterweight Tyron Woodley a few months later.

‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor discloses how an offer from Jake Paul was a godsend

But what might be surprising to many was his revelation of the money he made while supporting ‘The Problem Child.’ During an interview with the online sports blogging portal ‘usblog.betway,’ Taylor said, “I had the opportunity to fight in Cage Warriors, but I couldn’t pass up the money Jake was offering. [As a result], I’m getting paid more money as Jake’s training partner in two months than I made in my whole entire MMA career in six years…”

Incidentally, he found that outright perturbing. He said, “That’s disturbing when you think about it because I fought for Bellator. I’ve fought two top-five contenders in Bellator, and I had a good run. It’s time to take it up a notch and fight for the UFC.” Trusting his friend, Paul even gave an undercard slot to ‘Pretty Boy,’ where he took on Tommy Fury. It’s a different matter that the bout proved ill-fated as Taylor lost by a unanimous decision.
