Jake Paul is gearing up for his next big fight — but it won’t be inside the boxing ring.
Instead, “El Gallo” will be targeting the celebrity “pigs” who use their platforms to spread “lies” about his boxing career. Despite his success against some of the biggest names in the “sweet science,” Paul continues to be plagued by allegations of fight fixing.
“After years of letting it slide as just ‘haters being haters,’ I have asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career,” Paul said in the wake of his recent win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. “Expect to get served you pigs.”
The means to that end is a working relationship with powerhouse attorney Alex Spiro, known for his prior work with tech guru Elon Musk and rapper Jay-Z, among others. That collaboration could lead to monetary damages for this outspoken critic.
“I’ve been retained by Mr. Paul to pursue legal redress for the damages he has suffered,” Spiro told The Post. “If someone uses their public soapbox to harm him and the sport with lies, there will be consequences.”
The 28 year-old Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) is currently pursuing a heavyweight showdown opposite former champion Anthony Joshua.
