Olympic Medalist Jutta Leerdam Reacts To Paul-Tyson Fight Breaking Records

Olympic speedskater Jutta Leerdam recently attended her boyfriend Jake Paul’s boxing match against Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium. Paul defeated Tyson by unanimous decision. “Selling out the AT&T stadium and crashing Netflix together with the legend @miketyson,” Leerdam wrote. “You’ve only been doing this sport for a few years and you make the most massive events happen. People can say what they want but they watched it and it broke records. Bigger than the Super Bowl.”

In this slideshow, we look into the couple’s relationship, as well as Leerdam’s success in speed skating.

Leerdam wrote, “You keep showing me and the world that dreaming big and manifestation works @jakepaul I’m so proud of you. You inspire me and so many people out there to think big and if you work hard and believe in it then you can make it happen.”

Leerdam is a highly celebrated Dutch speed skater. She became junior world champion in 2017, and turned professional in 2018.

Leerdam has won multiple world titles and an Olympic silver in the 1,000-meter race. She has continued to compete at high levels since her Olympic race, as seen in recent tournaments.

Leerdam and Paul began dating in the spring of 2023. They met through social media, as detailed in the Netflix docuseries “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson.”

Leerdam said, “In the beginning when he hit me up online, I was like, ‘No, you look like this arrogant [expletive] that thinks he can just get whatever he wants.”

Leerdam added, “I never, ever expected to date him, like never. Of course, I didn’t know a lot from him, I could only scroll on his Instagram and right away have an opinion like the whole world does, but he is the complete opposite.”

Leerdam has consistently supported Paul at his boxing matches, including his fight against Nate Diaz in August 2023. As both have exceled in their careers, their relationship has remained a topic of public interest.
