Mauricio Sulaiman has issued a stern warning to influencer boxers, emphasizing the dangers of participating in the sport without adequate preparation. Sulaiman spoke out following the Ring Royale event at Arena Monterrey, expressing his concerns about the growing trend.
The President of the World Boxing Council didn't mince words. Sulaiman stated,
"Boxing is not a game. You can't play boxing; it's a high-risk contact sport that depends on excellent physical preparation and the conditions of the individuals."He referenced Jake Paul's December 2025 fight against Anthony Joshua as a cautionary tale. Paul, an influencer boxer, suffered a fractured jaw in two places during that bout against Joshua.
Juan Manuel Marquez, a former world champion known for his precision and skill inside the ring, echoed these sentiments. Marquez criticized influencer boxing events and highlighted their impact on traditional boxing.
"They’re ruining boxing: YouTubers, influencers. It just shouldn't be possible,"Marquez declared during the discussion. He further elaborated,
"I respect them, sure, but I don't like that kind of thing because they don't have a process."Marquez expressed worries that many influencers neglect rigorous training regimens essential for competing safely.
Jake Paul experienced firsthand what can happen when facing an experienced opponent like Anthony Joshua unprepared. During their fight at Arena Monterrey's Ring Royale event—a stage filled with influencers and social media figures—Paul experienced overwhelming pressure from Joshua’s power and expertise.
In recent years, more influencers have stepped into boxing rings for exhibitions designed to entertain fans online. The audience may enjoy it due to curiosity around famous personalities fighting; however safety cannot be compromised within such events according to seasoned professionals like Marquez.
