"Don't look back with any regrets" - Jake Paul's coach reveals what Israel Adesanya told 'The Problem Child' following Nate Robinson fight
Jake Paul's coach B.J. Flores recalled when Israel Adesanya advised 'The Problem Child' after he knocked out Nate Robinson.
In an interview with The Schmo, Flores revealed that Adesanya told Paul to work hard and not to have any regrets:
"I love Israel man, he's so chill, so cool, so respectful. So nice to be around. He said, 'look, take everyday for what it is and work you a** off. Don't look back with any regrets,' and you know, coming from a champion, it means alot."
Watch the interview below:
Robinson was the second professional fight of Paul's boxing career. While Paul defeated AnEsonGib in his first pro bout, the YouTuber shocked the world by knocking out the former NBA star.
Adesanya's words of wisdom seem to have helped Paul positively. The 25-year-old YouTuber is rapidly making his mark in boxing and is undefeated.
