He says he’s had 20 to 30 concussions in his life and they are taking a toll.
Jake Paul is two years into his professional boxing career and according to him, he is already feeling the consequences. In a recent interview, he claimed that he has suffered 20 to 30 concussions in his life, many coming from playing football.
Paul revealed that he is noticing certain physical changes. “I notice it in conversations with like, with my girlfriend or friends, like, not remembering something that I should be able to remember that happened a couple days ago,” he told journalist Graham Bensinger.
“Sometimes in my speech, where like every hundredth or two hundredth word, I’ll mess up or, like, slur. Which I didn’t do that before,” he added. Bensinger asked him if he is concerned about the number of concussions he’s sustained and he answered, “Of course.”
