The Californian trainer, 44, took to Twitter today to reveal the shocking ordeal.
He wrote: “Tonight I was attacked by two armed motorcycle drivers as a passenger at a RED LIGHT.
“They pulled up, stuck a gun to my head, tried to steal my wallet and my watch.
“They shot me one time in the leg and I defended myself the best way I could.
“I am still in the emergency room waiting to have the bullet removed at 5:18am.
“Thank you for the well wishes. I will learn from this.
“Be safe out there please. Life is precious.”
Flores is a former boxer himself, famously fighting Brit Tony Bellew in 2016 – but was knocked out in round three.
He had 39 pro fights in the ring, winning 34 and losing four.
Flores has been working with YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul since 2021 and was in his corner for the defeat to former Love Islander Tommy Fury last month.
