Jake Paul Announces Plans to Compete in 2028 LA Olympics for Boxing: ‘I’m Sick and Tired of Waiting Around’
Jake Paul reveals his bold goal to compete in the 2028 Olympics, aiming for gold in boxing. Is he ready to make history? Share your thoughts!
Jake Paul just dropped a bombshell. He’s aiming for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. Yes, you heard that right—Jake Paul, the YouTube star turned boxer, is planning to compete for Olympic gold. But why now? And what does this mean for his already controversial boxing career?
In a video posted on social media, Paul said he's "sick and tired of waiting around." He declared his intention to win Team USA's first boxing gold medal since 2004. Can he pull it off? Or is this just another one of his bold publicity stunts? Either way, Paul's Olympic ambitions have everyone talking.
Jake Paul’s announcement has sparked quite the conversation. In a clip posted by Happy Punch, Paul shared his bold plan: "I'm going to enter the 2028 Olympics. For boxing in Los Angeles." He’s clearly not slowing down, despite his already busy career. Paul added, "I'm sick and tired of waiting around, waiting for another goal for Team USA." He then confidently stated, "First gold medal. You're mine, brother."
This isn’t just about adding another achievement to his résumé; it’s about bringing home a gold medal for the United States. Paul’s enthusiasm is palpable as he mentioned, "I definitely probably just added a couple more years onto my boxing career because of that." His focus is unwavering: "Being a world champion is first and foremost, and then second is a gold medal."
His unexpected leap into Olympic aspirations follows a somewhat underwhelming performance by the U.S. boxing team at the Paris Olympics. Despite a storied history of Olympic boxing glory featuring legends like Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, recent years have seen a dip in podium finishes. This year, Omari Jones was the only American boxer to medal, securing a bronze in the men's welterweight division after a controversial split decision loss. The disappointment echoed Paul's frustration and perhaps even lit a fire under his ambitions.
Now, with his sights set on Olympic gold, Jake Paul isn't just stepping up his training; he's aiming to reshape the narrative around American boxing. His commitment reflects a deep drive to not only enhance his own legacy but also to lift the spirits and standards of the entire U.S. boxing team as they look toward Los Angeles in 2028.

Jake Paul didn’t mince words after Omari Jones’ split-decision loss at the Paris Olympics. Jones, who lost 3-2 in the welterweight semifinal to Uzbekistan’s Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev, fought hard but couldn’t overcome his opponent’s early lead. Muydinkhujaev’s highlight moment came in the second round, delivering a punch that sent Jones’ mouthpiece flying—a moment that likely swayed the judges.
Reacting on X, Paul called the decision an "absolute robbery," insisting that "Omari Jones won every round of that fight with ease." Despite Paul's outrage, Jones accepted his bronze medal with grace, stating, "I’ll take my bronze, and it’s on to the next chapter. My performance was fine. The cards just didn’t reflect in my favor."
It’s clear that Paul’s frustrations mirror the broader disappointment surrounding Team USA’s boxing results in Paris. What do you think? Is Jake Paul the one to finally end the gold medal drought for U.S. men’s boxing?
