Jake Paul does not seem to be deterred by reports that he could lose his WBA top 15 ranking list after his placement was assessed.
Youttuber boxer Paul dominated former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez JR last weekend and was then placed by the WBA in the Cruiserweight Top 15. However, the position was controversial and now the Ring Magazine reports that its ranking is being assessed.
Paul was ranked after three victories on legitimate boxers who came on either side of a fight with Mike Tyson in November last year. Before that he had defeated Andre August and 17-2 Ryan Bourland, and Chavez Jr held a record of 54-6-1 before Paul beat him comfortably over 10 rounds.
Jake Paul Unbreiled by WBA and placed his top 15 -position in assessment
The Ring Magazine reported last night that due to “heavy criticism and indignation of other ranked contenders, the WBA de Cruiserweight ranking list of Jake Paul will judge their upcoming European Convention in Madrid”.
Paul does not seem to be because of the reports, but writing on X after the news: “Life is good.”
His most valuable promotions then wrote on Instagram: “I cannot say that we are surprised. But whatever happens, he will not be stopped. 10 times down, be back every time. Expect they hate what they cannot control.”
It is worth noting that the ring, which broke the story, is owned by Turki Alenhikh, who has a constant feud with Paul. The Saudi Boxing Supremo is not a fan of the promotion brand of the social media star, and Paul is a rare hunter who still has to work with him
During the fighting week they shared bizarre snipes on Paul. This included a message about ticket prices that are as low as $ 10 for the Chavez JR fight, which had a record-breaking gate, and another with regard to the history of the former champion of in and out of rehabilitation.
Jake Paul has threatening world title ambitions
Jake Paul now strives for a chance for a world championship, with Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez and Badou Jack both in his sights. After his victory, he was opposed to Ramirez and is officially eligible to fight for his belt as a ranked cruiserweight.

He also wants to earn a ranking with the WBC, whose belt is held by the 41-year-old Jack. He tweeted yesterday: “Shoutout to the WBA and Gilberto for being disruptors and not being afraid to recognize me. See all these lists with the current champion Badou Jack. Give me it afterwards.”
Jack would be by far the most difficult test of Paul's career, but also checks all the boxes for his critics as a aging hunter who is best known for his fighting at a lower weight. He will be 42 in October, and despite winning gold in light-heavyweight and Cruiserweight, it is known to fight for super-mid-weight.
