Jake Paul smashes his brother Logan's lavish wedding cake in bizarre clip
Jake Paul posted a bizarre video of himself smashing his brother's wedding cake this week. His older brother, YouTuber-turned-WWE star Logan Paul, 30, tied the knot with long-term girlfriend, Danish model Nina Agdal, 33, at a lavish Lake Como wedding on Friday. During the ceremony, his younger brother, a pro boxer and content creator, said he was brought to tears, sharing a post saying, 'I've seriously been crying.' But Jake, who starred in the Netflix biopic 'The Problem Child,' is known as a bit of a troublemaker, and it didn't take long for the sentimental mood to turn to chaos. As the guests partied long into the night at the no-expenses-spared reception, Jake bizarrely ended up destroying his brother's extravagant cake. Sharing a clip on his socials, captioned, 'Jake or cake?' the influencer showed himself squaring up and punching the giant, three-tiered dessert, alongside his brother. In the background, Sister Sledge's 'We Are Family' plays as the pair continue to bash the cake together, with sponge pieces flying everywhere and chunks dropping to the floor. The cake became so unsteady at one point that a guest had to come over and help steady the table it was on. 5 Jake Paul wrecked his brother's wedding cake in a wild viral moment. @jakepaul/Instagram 5 The bizarre stunt split viewers right down the middle. @jakepaul/Instagram At the end of the clip, Jake appears satisfied with his efforts and cheers with his hands in the air before sharing a long hug with his brother. Guests gathered around the spectacle, phones in hand, egging them on, but Logan's new wife, Agdal, was nowhere to be seen. From one angle, it looks as if the cake hasn't even been cut yet. The general sentiment online was, 'Why…?' 5 The groom, Logan Paul, pulled his younger brother in for a hug after ruining the cake. @jakepaul/Instagram 'What is this? What am I watching? Someone is marrying this?' someone asked. 'Such a weird party,' another claimed. 'Are they marrying … each other?' a different user wondered. Others called it 'embarrassing,' 'a circus,' and 'a red flag.' Meanwhile, some compared the nuptials to a 'fancy frat party,' and one pointed out, 'Their performance of masculinity is very intriguing, to say the least.' 5 Logan Paul and Danish model Nina Agdal tied the knot last week in a lavish ceremony in Italy. Instagram/Jake Paul 'This is proof that money can never buy class,' chimed in one critic, while someone else said, 'Wasting food while children are starving in Africa …' Many commenters also sympathised with Agdal, with one saying, 'I know she's crying in a room by herself right now.' 'If I were a bride, I would be livid,' someone else claimed. 'Divorce, babe. Divorce,' another urged. 'His wife probably picked out that design, curated the flavours for the wedding, paid well over 5k – and for what? So a man could ruin it all,' read another comment. 5 Logan appeared to back Jake's stunt, sharing a professional shot of the cake-smashing moment on Instagram. @jakepaul/Instagram Others expressed sympathy for the pastry chef who made the cake. It's unknown who that was though, and in an Instagram carousel with photos of the cake, Logan notably didn't tag the cake maker, despite tagging all other vendors from the day. The wedding planner, @lakecomoweddings, also left the cake vendor off their Instagram coverage of the day. The wedding comes two years after WWE star Paul proposed to Agdal in Italy. 'Today is the day I ask the love of my life to marry me,' the YouTube personality said in a video shared in 2023. 'Fourteen months ago, I fell in love with the most beautiful human being I've ever seen in my life, and I have been waiting for this day ever since.' They welcomed their first child, Esme, in September 2024. After the wedding, Logan took to Instagram to gush about Agdal. 'God delivered in every way. This wedding was the perfect way to kick off the rest of our lives @ninaagdal,' he said. 'I love you and our beautiful baby girl Esme so so much. Let's make more babies.'

Eubank Jr-Benn 2: Five fights we want to see before the end of 2025
Over halfway into 2025 we have seen some incredible fights, from Oleksandr Usyk knocking out Daniel Dubois at Wembley to Chris Eubank Jr's war with rival Conor Benn . But there is still plenty of time for more memorable nights in boxing before the end of the calendar year. Whilst some star-packed cards have already been announced to be shown live on DAZN , we would love to see these five fights take place before we see 2026. Ramirez-Opetaia The cruiserweight division rarely has unified champions, let alone undisputed kings, so seeing three of the four major belts combined at 200lbs would be interesting in itself. Two-division world champion Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramírez is just the sixth example in the four-belt era, having combined the WBA and WBO titles with victory over Chris Billam-Smith in November 2024. Jai Opetaia holds the IBF strap, having briefly lost it over sanctioning body politics, and whilst the Aussie has made a lot of noise about unifying with another champion at cruiserweight, a belt-uniting fight has yet to materialise. Zurdo and Opetaia called each other out after their wins in June, with the two currently clear as the best two fighters at 200lbs. With Jake Paul sniffing around in the cruiserweight division and calling out world champions, it would be preferred to see two title holders go head-to-head, rather than take the money 'The Problem Child' offers. Ball-Inoue Naoya Inoue has worked his way up the divisions, crushing everything in his path. Undisputed at both bantamweight and super bantamweight, the Japanese fighter they call 'The Monster' has more than earned his name. Already lined up to fight Murodjon Akhmadaliev in September, Inoue is on a roll, having already fought twice in 2025. Victory over the former unified super bantamweight champion would leave the 30-0 fighter either waiting for countryman Junto Nakatani to step up to 122lbs, or he could move up to a new division. Nick Ball has been identified as the perfect welcome for Inoue at featherweight – the diminutive Scouser is three inches smaller than the undisputed super bantamweight champion. Inoue has admitted as much, telling The Ring magazine: 'Ball is a fighter who has used his physical strength as a weapon. But he's not tall, and in fact he's smaller than me. So maybe he's not a natural featherweight. 'Still, he's a guy who has risen in the featherweight division by defeating bigger opponents, so I think it will be a fun fight." Speaking before his win over Ramon Cardenas in May, In that same interview Inoue revealed that the plan was for him to fight in May and September, before facing Ball in December out in Saudi Arabia. Turki Alalshikh has stated that he wants the fight, and so has Ball. A featherweight scrap to see out the year seems to be on the cards. Stevenson-Davis Shakur Stevenson strengthened his credentials as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters currently active with his impressive win over William Zepeda at the start of July, showcasing an ability to innovate as he exchanged big blows with his opponent. That is another feather in the cap of the three-division world champion, but in a fractured lightweight division, a unification bout must be on the cards for Stevenson. He has previously unified at super featherweight, but recent developments at 135lbs have completely changed the landscape of the major belts. Vasyl Lomachenko, who Stevenson often exchanged barbs and callouts with, has retired, whilst Keyshawn Davis' inability to make weight for his fight with Edwin De Los Santos cost him the WBO belt. As one of the so-called new kings of American boxing, Stevenson must fancy himself against another – Gervonta 'Tank' Davis - the WBA champion at 135lbs. If Davis can redeem himself in his rematch with Lamont Roach in August, having controversially drawn with his fellow American back in March, perhaps we will see two of American boxing's biggest names finally share the ring at the tail end of this year. Victory over another huge name would launch him into contention as one of the best active fighters across all the divisions. Eubank Jr-Benn 2 In a world where overhyped boxing matches can produce a snoozefest, the first clash between Chris Eubank Jr and Conor Benn delivered a British boxing classic. Taking the rivalry shared between their fathers, Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn, the pair built upon the family history to spark a personal feud. Neither fighter held back in what evolved into an all-out brawl, with any doubts over Benn stepping up 13lbs or Eubank Jr being limited by the 160lbs weight limit quickly forgotten about. Of course, that weight limit, and the rehydration clause that prevented Eubank Jr from weighing 10lbs more on the morning of the fight than his initial measurement, caused medical issues for 'Next Gen', who was taken to hospital after the fight. Just as the first fight was shrouded in doubt, initially scheduled for 2022 before a positive drugs test for Benn, the rematch has seemingly come under threat of falling through despite being contractually agreed. Turki Alalshikh's announcement of the fight for Saturday, September 20, took both fighters' camps by surprise. Matchroom Boxing chief Eddie Hearn implied that radio silence from Eubank Jr's team indicated that the fight would not go ahead, but it appears that the fight will be merely pushed back to November this year. Although a defeat for Eubank Jr could fuel talk of a trilogy, a rematch later this year could finally close a chapter of British boxing history. If it produces the same level of quality as the first meeting, then a lot of fans will be left very happy. Bivol-Beterbiev 3 Some trilogies are not needed, one fighter simply completing a whitewash over another. That is not the case for Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev , the two light heavyweights finding their perfect dancing partners. Both undefeated heading into their first meeting , Beterbiev edged a majority decision . With little to separate the pair, a rematch was set up for four months later. It was another majority decision win, but this time for Bivol, who became the second undisputed champion at 175lbs in the four-belt era – after Beterbiev. At one win apiece and not much between them in either fight, a trilogy was instantly suggested and worked towards, to the detriment of Biviol as he was forced to vacate his WBC strap in order to pursue a third Beterbiev fight. Talk of the rubber match has subsided since February, with discussions over the location of the fight a major stumbling block. It is clear that Bivol and Beterbiev are currently head and shoulders above the rest of the light heavyweight division, but boxing fans want to see a definitive king at 175lbs. Whilst Bivol is no spring chicken at 34, Beterbiev is arguably moving further and further away from his prime at 40 years of age. For the best fight possible, it should take place sooner rather than later.

Jake Paul scorecards revealed with YouTube star DOMINATING Julio Cesar Chavez Jr after losing just ONE round
JAKE PAUL's dominating win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr was clear to see after the scorecards were revealed. The YouTuber-turned-boxer secured an easy victory against the Mexican at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. 4 4 4 Paul, 28, controlled the fight as he was named the unanimous winner by the judges. Chavez struggled to get forward in the fight until the final few rounds. This was reflected in the judges' cards as Paul claimed every single round except for just ONE. The scorecard shows that in round nine, two judges thought that Chavez was the winner 10-9 over Paul. It was far too little, far too late for Chavez to claw back a points victory as Paul had already won the first eight rounds. His fight back was also short-lived as two of the three judges also gave round 10 to Paul. The Problem Child has given his verdict on the victory as he hit out at his critics. He said: "All the boos are words and actions speak louder than words so you can shut the f*** up. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS "I beat your boy. Nah he is a warrior but so am I. "I think I did great against a former world champion who has never been stopped and I dominated him. "Yeah 100 per cent I'm staying active, I'm fighting everybody. "I'll fight anyone, any time, anywhere, any place." Paul also took the opportunity to call out British boxing icon Anthony Joshua. It comes a day after AJ sent him a message urging him to be careful what he wishes for. Meanwhile, Chavez admitted that he is ready for more fights after the bout with the YouTuber. 4

Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr live: Fight time and how to watch
Jake Paul called out a who's who of world boxing as he sets his sights on a world title after scoring a dominant win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The 28-year-old singled out cruiserweight champions Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez and Badou Jack, former heavyweight kingpin Anthony Joshua, reality TV star Tommy Fury and Gervonta Davis. Noticeably absent from that list was Aussie IBF cruiserweight world champion Jai Opetaia, who also has his eyes on Zurdo Ramirez. Jake Paul celebrates after his win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Picture: AP Photo Paul was too big and too strong for the former middleweight world champion Chavez Jr, winning a lacklustre unanimous decision with scores of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92. He then used his post-fight speech to line-up his next opponent. 'I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion,' Paul said afterwards. 'Zurdo looked slow and shit tonight. 'That'd be easy work. 'Badou Jack, Anthony Joshua, Gervonta (Davis). Tommy (Fury) stop running. 'I'm just getting warmed up in this shit. I'm ready. I'll stay active and fight everybody. There's a long line. I've got time, I'll take on anyone, any time, any place.' Jake Paul and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. during their cruiserweight bout. Picture: AFP Ramirez defended his WBO and WBA cruiserweight titles in an ugly unanimous decision win over Yuniel Dorticos on Paul's undercard, and immediately called for a fight with Opetaia. 'That's the fight I want. I'm the king,' he said of Opetaia. 'Make sure you get my phone number and call me. 'No one calls me. I want it.' Opetaia was scheduled to be in the arena to confront Zurdo, but the face-to-face meeting didn't eventuate. Paul has called out Joshua several times in the past, and was in line for an exhibition bout with Gervonta 'Tank' Davis before the American's shock draw with Lamont Roach in March.

Picture: AP Photo Meanwhile, Fury – younger brother of Tyson Fury and former Love Island star – is the only man to beat Paul, scoring a split decision win in 2023 that 'The Problem Child' wants to avenge. In the main event, Chavez Jr – the son of Mexican all-time great Julio Cesar Chavez – barely threw any punches in a frustrating opening three rounds. The bout finally came to life in round nine when Chavez Jr threw caution into the wing and began attacking properly. Paul was caught on the chin and held on in the final round, but Chavez Jr ran out of time. Known as the Problem Child, Paul was nearly drowned out in boos as he spoke in the ring afterwards. 'All the boos are awards and actions speak louder than words,' he said. 'I'm him. I just beat your boy's ass. 'Wait till I get going even more, mother****rs. He's a tough guy, he's never been stopped. 'He's a Mexican warrior. I respect Mexico, but I'm a warrior and I came out on top tonight. 'It was flawless. He just survived, I did great. 10 rounds against a former world champion who's never been stopped. 'He went the distance with Canelo and I embarrassed him.' It was Paul's first fight since his win over Mike Tyson in November, while Chavez Jr – the son of Mexican legend Julio Cesar Chavez – is a former world champion.
