In the now viral video, the cruiserweight troublemaker shows off a big belly while apparently bench pressing 500 pounds.

Jake Paul's latest appearance is causing a stir. In an Instagram video shared on Monday, the former YouTuber and boxer appeared to be sporting a fake belly and set a new personal best by benching 500 pounds. The 27-year-old's latest appearance comes ahead of his fight against Mike Tyson. The high-profile boxing match was originally scheduled for July 20, but was postponed to November 15 after the legendary boxer suffered a stomach ulcer during a flight.

In the now-viral video, the troubled child, who fights in the cruiserweight division, shows off a big belly while apparently lifting 500 pounds. Since Jake is known for his pranks and parody videos, fans pointed out that the video was a skit and that the weights, along with his belly, were fake.

His own brother, Logan Paul, quipped, “When's it going to happen, bro?” This remark, and the fact that some of his stomach tattoos were missing, strongly suggests that the internet personality was wearing a fake stomach.

Jake captioned the video, “The strongest boxer there is.” After noticing a flood of “baby bump” comments, he poked fun at the pregnancy jokes, commenting, “Name me a stronger pregnant person than me…” However, not all of his fans were impressed by his seemingly hilarious skit.
