Although for different reasons, Jake Paul and former United States president Donald Trump are prominent figures in the world of combat sports. In a short period, Paul has made huge waves in the boxing world, while Trump is an MMA enthusiast who is often seen in attendance for live events.

Trump was recently in attendance for the Bitcoin Conference 2024, which took place in Nashville, Tennessee.

During his keynote address at the conference, Trump mentioned the YouTuber turned boxer. The 78-year-old showered praise on Paul and spoke about his upcoming fight with Mike Tyson.

​

"Jake Paul... you don't wanna fight this guy... He's got a big fight coming with Mike Tyson. But he's glad he didn't fight Mike when Mike was 19. He told me that today. But he's a fantastic guy. A very talented guy in a lot of ways."

After the recent assassination attempt on Trump, Paul weighed in on the incident in a conversation with his brother Logan Paul. 'The Problem Child' claimed that a divine power had a role to play in Trump surviving the attack:

​

"First and foremost, it's one of the craziest things I've ever seen and probably will ever see... I think there would have been a civil war if something had hurt him. But I think, that's like divine intervention, for sure. I believe God stepped in and saved him."

Paul got the better of 'Platinum' and knocked him out in the sixth round. With the victory, the 27-year-old extended his professional boxing record to 10-1.
