Terrance McKinney, a surging lightweight contender known for his impressive performances in the octagon, took to social media to express his willingness to help Paul if needed.
On March 8, Jake Paul, the YouTuber turned professional boxer, was involved in yet another controversial altercation, this time with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and his entourage in Miami. The confrontation occurred following an NBA game between the Miami Heat and the Cleveland Cavaliers, and it quickly escalated into a tense situation.
Mayweather was seen engaging in verbal exchanges with Paul, who had only one security guard with him at the time. Members of Mayweather's entourage questioned Paul about his silence since his loss to Tommy Fury, adding further fuel to the already heated situation. As tensions mounted, Paul quickly made his escape to avoid any potential danger or further escalation of the altercation.

Jake Paul partially attributes his defeat against Tommy Fury to a "wet dream"
Jake Paul recently made a surprising revelation about his first-ever boxing loss to Tommy Fury. The YouTuber-turned-boxer claimed that having a 'wet dream' the night before his fight was partly to blame for his defeat.
Despite going eight rounds with 'TNT' on February 26 in Saudi Arabia, 'The Problem Child' came up short as Fury secured a split decision victory, extending his unbeaten record to 9-0. In making this admission, Paul has once again courted controversy and raised eyebrows among fans and critics alike, many of whom have questioned the validity of his claims.
In a recent conversation on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, the 26-year-old boxer highlighted how biology may have played a role in Tommy Fury's defeat on fight night.
"I fu*ked myself, literally... I literally woke up in a panic... You have two weeks of testosterone built up, and so the reason a wet dream happens is because your body needs to release that energy. Knows in your mind that this is not good... Makes your legs weak... Because the sperm is stored in your legs..."
