Influencer-turned-athlete’s boxing trainer Jake Paul found himself in the hospital after being shot during a reported armed robbery.

BJ Flores took to Twitter to explain what he had allegedly endured Thursday night, which included being held at gunpoint.

Flores mentioned that he “managed to take a single shot in the leg once” after being stopped at a red light in Medellín, a city in the northwest of the country.

‘Tonight I was attacked by 2 armed motorcyclists as a passenger at a RED LIGHT,’ Flores wrote on Instagram accompanied by a video of an x-ray showing the bullet lodged in his thigh.

They stopped, put a gun to my head and tried to steal my wallet and watch. I was shot once in the leg and I defended myself as best I could. I’m still in the ER waiting for the bullet to be removed at 5:18 am.

‘Thanks for the good wishes . I’ll learn from this… Take care out there, please. Life is Beautiful.

‘Gun to my right temple, I was able to move the gun down and only get shot in the leg once. Hospital now awaiting surgery to remove the bullet, thank GOD I’m alive.’

Flores showed a knot on the side of his head and admitted that he and his group were “definitely a target,” but expressed gratitude for continuing to breathe.

‘Stay safe out there and everyone be careful. I appreciate the messages, thank you very much.’

Before training Paul, Flores was a professional fighter, making his debut in 2003 before retiring in 2018.

Since 2021, he has been Paul’s full-time trainer and, naturally, was around in Saudi Arabia when Problem Child lost to Tommy Fury via split decision in January.

Flores is now a boxing trainer, having previously fought for the IBO cruiserweight title in 2010.
