Jake Paul's sparring partner claims he was thrown out of gym after heated row

Jake Paul 's sparring partner, Elie Augustama, has claimed that he was kicked out of the YouTuber's gym after a sparring session grew too intense.

Augustama, a boxer from Florida who once fought Paul's teammate and close friend J'Leon Love, was drafted into the fight camp to help out with training for the social media star's ring return, which is set for August 13. No opponent has been named yet but it is believed that Tommy Fury is the front runner for the pay-per-view fight.

The 36-year-old Haitian fighter had been in Puerto Rico for a few weeks and was scheduled to head home from camp on Friday after spending time at Paul's secretive Dorado training base. However, he claims that after Paul repeatedly committed a foul in training, he got into an argument with coaches, including BJ Flores, that saw him expelled from the gym.
