Who is Jake Paul?

Jake Paul, born on January 17, 1997, in Cleveland, Ohio, became known on networks such as Vine, to later make the leap to YouTube, where he began to grow his number of followers thanks to his comedic content. Over time, he began to explore other areas of opportunity, such as music, but eventually moved into the world of boxing, where his charisma, dedication to the sport, and number of followers propelled him, despite his polarizing presence, earning him the nickname “The Problem Child.”

Jake Paul’s boxing career

His career in the sport began in 2018 when he faced another YouTuber, Deji Olatunji, on the same day that his older brother, Logan Paul, faced KSI. After that fight, Jake would not return to the ring until 2020, when he faced another YouTuber, AnEsonGib, and later NBA star Nate Robinson. In 2021, he faced Ben Askren, a former Olympic mixed martial artist, and in the same year, he had two fights against former five-time UFC champion Tyron Woodley.

That same year he fought against former UFC contender Nate Diaz, and later against Andre August. This 2024, he took a fight against former Gold Gloves champion Ryan Bourland.
