Jake Paul has made quite a name for himself in the boxing scene. Paul’s entry into the boxing scene from the social media influencer world broke barriers. It even made crossover boxing a significant part of combat sports. In his latest fight, Paul defeated Andre August in the first round.

Rampage Jackson recently speculated that August might have dived in the bout. MMA Media recently reported a match-fixing investigation in the undercard bout of Paul vs August. However, fans are not pleased with the use of Jake Paul’s name instead of the suspected boxers in the news. Yoenis Tellez (7-0) and Livan Navarro (15-2) are the suspected boxers.

Tellez defeated Navarro with a 10th-round TKO. Allegedly, one of Tellez’s cornermen placed a massive 6 figure bet on the fight, going more than five rounds. Tellez has defeated his prior opponents very quickly. It was SportsDaily that reported the news of the massive bet on the bout.

Nevertheless, all news outlets use Jake Paul’s name in excess in their reports, and it has not gone well with MMA fans. Paul’s upcoming fight is on the undercard of Amanda Serrano vs. Nina Meinke. Moreover, Paul also has plans to make his MMA debut in the PFL against Nate Diaz.

Match fixing a serious crime in the combat sports world. If found guilty, the perpetrators face lifetime bans and embargo.
