    Jake Paul staggers out of bar after partying with LeBron James after Team USA gold in Paris

    Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, was caught on film stumbling into a vehicle after partying hard with the USA basketball squad following their golden victory at the Paris Olympics.

    The celebration came after Team USA's triumphant 98-87 win over France, where Stephen Curry shone with his 24-point contribution from beyond the arc. And Paul partied alongside the likes of NBA great LeBron James.

    Paul, who has a knockout bout scheduled with boxing icon Mike Tyson in November, flew out to Paris specifically for the games and joined the basketball team's raucous celebrations in the bustling heart of the French capital.

    The YouTube sensation was filmed exiting a bar, flanked by security guards, hand over face and grinning, eventually seeking support from a security member while ruffling his own hair.

    A video surfacing online shows Paul slightly losing his footing as he's guided into the rear of a car, collapsing into laughter upon landing on his seat, all while a bystander cautions him, "be careful!"

    Later, basketball greats such as James and Kevin Durant made their exits from the same establishment, marking the celebration of the USA's dominating Olympic performance, clinching a total of 126 medals.

    Having beaten former bare-knuckle scrapper Mike Perry last month, Paul has rapidly climbed the fame ladder with several blockbuster bouts against seasoned MMA fighters and ring veterans.

    And he is now driven by fresh goals to snag an Olympic medal in boxing for himself, declaring he's "sick and tired" of seeing the U.S. miss out on boxing gold.

    "I'm going to enter the 2028 Olympics for boxing in Los Angeles," he declared on the BS W/ Jake Paul podcast. "I'm sick and tired of waiting around, waiting for another gold for Team USA. Los Angeles, United States. Sick as f***. Gold medal, you're mine, brother."

    Paul's next spectacle is his lucrative exhibition match against Tyson in Texas later this year, which fans can catch streaming on Netflix.

    The bout was originally scheduled for August but got postponed after Tyson experienced dizziness and nausea during a flight from Miami to Los Angeles, leading his doctors to recommend a break from training.

    He's gearing up to notch yet another victory against a battle-hardened ex-pro, having already taken down former MMA fighters Ben Askren, Nate Diaz, Anderson Silva, and Tyron Woodley.
