Pistol to my right temple,
I was able to move the weapon down and manage to only get shot in the leg one time. Hospital now waiting surgery to remove the bullet . Thank GOD I’m alive. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/n06LbNc2FN— Benjamin Flores (@bjfloresboxing) March 17, 2023
Paul quickly took over as Flores’ main coach, and they have a successful connection. He has contributed to the YouTuber’s 6-1 record despite having just suffered the first loss of his professional boxing career at the hands of Tommy Fury.
Jake Paul and BJ Flores came dangerously close to suffering a defeat other than a decision more than a month after the bout.
The latter recently said that he was hospitalised after being shot during a robbery attempt in Columbia. Flores asserts that he was shot in the leg even though he was able to push the gun away from his head.
Thankfully, Jake Paul wasn’t with BJ Flores when he was attacked.
As of yet, it appears that the head trainer was the only target of the heist attempt. But, it’s strangely the second time in a short period that Team Paul has engaged in combat.
