Bryce Hall Says Jake Paul ‘Deserves’ WBA Rank, ‘He’s Fighting Legends!’

Despite the World Boxing Association reconsidering Jake Paul‘s ranking, Bryce Hall feels it got it right the first time … telling TMZ Sports El Gallo deserves the recognition since he’s fighting legends.

We spoke with the TikTok star, actor and fighter at Sweet Butter Kitchen in Los Angeles this week … after the WBA announced its No. 14 ranking for Paul following his win against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

The rank is currently under review following backlash … including fellow cruiserweight Craig Parker, who told us, “it was just like a slap in the face.”

Hall thinks that’s absurd … especially considering the dude has wins over Mike Tyson, Anderson Silva, Tyron Woodley and Nate Diaz on his resume.

“I think Jake Paul deserves it,” Hall said. “He’s getting in there. He’s fighting legends. It doesn’t matter who he’s picking.”

“He’s going in there, he’s fighting people, he’s putting ’em on their ass.”

Hall also points out that Paul is drawing in a new wave of fans to the sport — boosting revenue for boxing.
