Jake Paul's fiancee, Jutta Leerdam, offered some heartfelt words of validation ahead of his blockbuster boxing match against Anthony Joshua on Friday.
The YouTube sensation turned professional boxer is set to face one of his toughest opponents yet when he takes on Joshua in a Netflix-televised match in Miami tonight.
Ahead of the match, Leerdam dropped a heartwarming message on social media to let him know she believes in him.
"Let's say my man is not afraid of a challenge. I'm so proud of you babe," the Dutch speed skating champion wrote on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Dec. 18.
"@jakepaul I have so much respect for your resilience, you take on challenges most people would be afraid to face. They don't make them like you anymore," she continued. "You got this."
Leerdam included a promo video of Paul and Joshua cruising the ocean in side-by-side speedboats in the clip.
Paul's fiancee will likely take a break from her Olympic speed skating training to be in Miami to watch Paul's boxing match on Friday.
The gorgeous Dutch speed skater was on hand to support him when he beat Mike Tyson in November 2024, so it's doubtful that she'll miss his second biggest feat to date.
