Controversy inevitably follows the Paul brothers wherever they go. Now, Jake Paul has found himself in hot water after his recent boxing training video with a snake went viral on social media.

Paul left fans shocked with a training method involving a snake as he geared up for his return to boxing. Paul has remained out of action after his loss against Anthony Joshua last year in Dec. 2025. During the fight, Paul suffered a broken jaw and had to undergo two surgeries to fix it. Despite the setback, “The Problem Child” did not hang up his gloves and is now nearing his comeback.

With already a social media war with Tommy Fury and a released hit list, Paul is now training for it. Filming himself in the gym training for his boxing comeback, Paul was found hitting a heavy boxing bag, with a snake wrapped around it. “I've never seen anybody hit a punching bag with a snake on it,” someone behind the camera was also heard saying. The video went extremely viral on social media as fans called out the alleged animal abuse in it. The reptile remained wrapped around the bag as Paul threw his punches.

“PETA about to get on his a**,” wrote one person. As another person commented, “If that's a real snake….What an absolute prick. It's animal abuse!” “Jake Paul is a f**(ing moron. And a cruel pos,” wrote another person. While other people tagged PETA and asked them to officially look into the situation. However, as of now, neither PETA nor Paul have commented on the scenario and the viral video.
