Despite the World Boxing Association reconsidering Jake Paul‘s ranking, Bryce Hall feels it got it right the first time. He told TMZ Sports that El Gallo deserves the recognition since he’s fighting legends.
We spoke with the TikTok star, actor, and fighter at Sweet Butter Kitchen in Los Angeles this week after the WBA announced its No. 14 ranking for Paul following his win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
The rank is currently under review following backlash, including fellow cruiserweight Craig Parker, who expressed his disappointment. Hall, however, believes Paul deserves the ranking, citing his victories over Mike Tyson, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley, and Nate Diaz.
“I think Jake Paul deserves it,” Hall said. “He’s getting in there. He’s fighting legends. It doesn’t matter who he’s picking.”

“He’s going in there, he’s fighting people, he’s putting ’em on their ass,” Hall added.
Hall also recognizes that Paul is attracting a new audience to boxing, ultimately boosting revenue for the sport.
