Having credibility as a fighter is something that the YouTuber has yet to accomplish. He has been successful in his past forays into the ring, winning all six of his bouts, including four by knockout. However, none of the high-profile matches have been against professional boxers, which Fury certainly is.
Jake Paul vs AnEsonGib
Paul made his debut as a professional boxer by going up against British social media star AnEsonGib in 2020, and knocked out his fellow YouTuber in the very first round. This victory upped his confidence level and later that year, he signed up for another fight.

His next opponent was former NBA player Nate Robinson, with the match forming part of the undercard for the exhibition match between Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr. Paul knocked out the NBA Slam Dunk champion in the second round.

Paul then challenged mixed martial artist and Olympian Ben Askren over social media to be his next rival and the fight was set for April 2021. Paul scored another first-round knockout and established himself as a money-making fighter, claiming that the match’s PPV earnings reached $65 million.

The young influencer trash-talked his way into his fight against former UFC champion Tyron Woodley, and for the first time, the bout reached the full eight rounds. Paul eventually scored a split-decision victory in their August 2021 fight, with which he was unsatisfied as he wanted a knockout.
Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley Part 2
