YouTube-boxer Jake Paul opened up about his “hilarious” encounter with Drake at one of the rapper’s concerts.
Jake Paul is one of the net’s most prominent influencer-boxers, who’s currently gearing up for his next fight against pro boxer Andre August on December 15.
As a major online figure, it makes sense that ‘The Problem Child’ might rub elbows with other famous folks — and one of these celebs is, apparently, none other than Canadian rap star Drake.
During an episode of his podcast, ‘BS w/ Jake Paul,’ the boxer claimed he had an encounter with the artist that has now become an inside joke between him and his friends.
Jake Paul says Drake greeted him with a “hilarious” line
According to Jake, he was at one of Drake’s concerts when the rapper walked by him and recognized him, saying, “Fighter,” in a joking tone.
“I was like man, what a guy,” Jake said of the moment. “That’s the most Drake thing.”

“Bro didn’t even say what’s up,” his co-host joked. “He just said, ‘Fighter.'”

Funnily enough, this isn’t Drake’s first interaction of sorts with the youngest Paul brother. In fact, Drake has bet money on both of the sibling’s fights in the past, notably dropping $250k on Jake’s bout against Nate Diaz and $850K on Logan Paul’s match against Dillon Danis.
While it’s unclear who Drake is rooting for in Jake’s upcoming fight against Andre August, the YouTuber has had difficulty selling out tickets for the bout — but says it’s “smart” he hasn’t got a full house.
