Presidential Candidate Challenges Logan Paul In Push-Up Contest

U.S. Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy challenged Logan Paulto a push-up contest -- and he kept up!

Ahead of Jake Paul's match against Andre August, Ramaswamy paid a visit to the Paul brothers, and the three bonded right away. Not only did Logan Paul let Ramaswamy wear his championship belt, but the two had a push-up contest, and Ramaswamy kept up with the professional wrestler.

The video, which was shared on Vivek Ramaswamy's Instagram Story, shows the two doing push-ups side by side as the person videotaping counted how many push-ups they were at.

They ended up doing 30 push-ups total, and the Presidential candidate kept up with the professional wrestler! (Talk about impressive!)

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has received backlash, as many are claiming he cannot be President because his religion does not align with what "our founding fathers based our country on."

Mr. Ramaswamy addressed those claims, stating, "I am a Hindu. I won't fake my identity. Hinduism and Christianity share the same value set in common."

He added, "Based on my religious beliefs, I understand that every person is here for a reason, and it is our moral obligation to fulfill that reason because God lives within each of us, even though God works through us in various ways, we are all equal."

In the first round of his fight on Friday, Jake Paul threw an uppercut to Andre August's face by leaning on his jab and fighting from the outside, knocking August out cold. With this win, Paul has improved his pro record to 8-1 with five knockouts with a first-round.

“I said first-round knockout all week,” Paul said in his post-fight interview. “I manifested this. This is the power of manifestation. I said I needed to bring back the old ‘Problem Child,’ I’ve been too nice to these guys, letting them go to the later rounds."

The fight was stopped with around 30 seconds remaining in the first round.

“I don’t know what I proved tonight, you know,” Paul said. “I’m just going to do me. This is part of the process, the next step to becoming World Champion. … All I wanted to do was give y’all a knockout for Christmas.”

Logan, Jake's elder brother, was ringside for his victory in Orlando, Florida, and his reaction to Jake's first-round knockout has gone viral. In a video shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, Logan was seen smiling ear to ear, completely stunned at his brother's victory.

Logan then put his hands up next to his head as if he were going to sleep, referencing Jake's knock-out.

Fans, however, were not buying that first-round knockout. "RIGGED! Jake Paul fight was FAKE AF.. Boxing should be disgusted," one user wrote.

"This fight was rigged and who did Jake Paul fight again," another said.
