Sparring partners of Jake Paul have been lauding him for slaying opponents left and right. But Colby Covington believes otherwise. The former NCAA Division-1 wrestler believes Paul has been sparring with low-caliber fighters.
Speaking with The Schmo on YouTube, Covington denied any involvement with the 24-year-old’s ongoing training camp:
Jake Paul and Ben Askren are set to headline the Triller Fight Club pay-per-view, scheduled for April 17th. Paul is 2-0 as a pro-boxer, while Askren has never fought in a boxing match. With a victory over the former Bellator welterweight champion, Paul wants to legitimize his boxing career.
Colby Covington on Jorge Masvidal for siding with Jake Paul
In an interview with Submission Radio earlier this month, Colby Covington took a jab at Jorge Masvidal for training Jake Paul. ‘Gamebred’ was also seen training alongside Tyron Woodley prior to the latter’s match with Covington last September.
Jake Paul reportedly reached out to Jorge Masvidal for a training session in January. ‘Gamebred’, who shared the cage with Ben Askren at UFC 239, agreed to teach Paul some moves for his next fight.
Jake Paul posted a video of his training session with Masvidal on Twitter and promised to break the Miami native’s fastest KO record on April 17th.
