Published

on

Jake Paul fought three times in 2021 and according to Forbes, he earned $40 million
from these victories. And he’s going for more cash this year.
But how did he do it? How did he start in boxing?
The American YouTuber rose to prominence because to his amusing drawing videos on
Vine. He rose to become one of the most influential Viners in the world, landing major
brand collaborations. The proposal, however, was abandoned in 2016.
The Disney channel provided him with one of the most significant brand deals that
turned his career around. Jake portrayed Dirk Mann in the Disney sitcom Bizaardvark.
He became well-known as a result of the show. He left the show before the start of its
second season in 2017.
He\’s known for doing the most ridiculous pranks, including getting arrested and meeting
a look-alike of Donald Trump, among other things. Now the provocateur has moved on
to boxing, garnering headlines for his continued trash-talking and pranks directed at
MMA athletes.
While Jake\’s YouTube content and fights are enjoyed by audiences all around the
world, let us take you through his life and plans to pursue a full-fledged boxing career.
The YouTube star\’s boxing career began in 2018 when he competed as an undercard in
Manchester Arena, against KSI\’s brother Deji Olatunji before Logan Paul vs KSI.
In January 2020, he made his professional boxing debut, knocking out fellow YouTuber
Ali Eson Gib in the first round in Miami.
In November 2020, he fought Nate Robinson, and in April the following year, he fought
Ben Askren. He knocked them out and came out victorious.
Jake\’s recent battle with UFC Champion Tyron Woodley was much publicized, and he
surprised everyone by winning. It brought in roughly $1 million in pay-per-view revenue
for him (RM4.15 million).
With three fights under his belt, Jake\’s ultimate ambition, according to an ESPN
interview, is to fight Conor McGregor and become the world\’s highest-paid prize fighter.

Tyson Fury's Dad sets constraints on the AJ-Fury rematch

The “Gypsy King” Tyson Fury (33-0-1) is set to rematch with two-time former unified world heavyweight champ Anthony Joshua (26-3-0) next year but Fury’s dad pushes Joshua vs Wilder first.

Deontay Wilder, “The Bronze Bomber” (43-2-1), former WBC heavyweight champ, is the first American world heavyweight champ since 2007. He defended his title for 10 times.

But, Wilder lost to Fury twice after their trilogy last October 9, 2021 in an eleventh round KO.

John Fury blurted to The Daily Mail that many boxers are ducking Wilder because they are afraid of him. He added that only his son defeated Wilder twice yet he praised the latter’s power.

As of this writing, the said rematch is still unclear however, DAZN reported last September 23, 2023 that promoter Eddie Hearns got an venue offer to stage the fight next year.

Nikola Jokic, Lebron James will kick off the NBA 2023-24 season.

The unfinished business between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will resume on October 24, 2023 in Ball Arena Denver, Colorado.

It can be recalled that the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference. Shockingly, they advanced to their very first NBA Finals in franchise history with 4 – 0 in the Western Conference Finals.

“I know how great he is,” James said in the press conference last May 2023 about Jokic.

Jokic won MVP of the Western Conference Finals after he exploded with 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

On the other hand, Lebron James felt humiliated with a sweep loss though it is not his first time to be swept. James got swept also last 2018, when his Cavaliers clashed with the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Lebron is expected to erupt vs the Nuggets.

Crawford no match to Canelo at 168 – GGG coach

Gennady Golovkin (GGG) former coach Abel Sanchez presumes that Terrence Crawford is no match to Mexican pound for pound king Canelo Alvarez at 168 lbs.

In an interview by Fight Hub TV last October 9, 2023, GGG coach said that Canelo vs Crawford is laughable.

Sanchez is a Mexican-American trainer and coach of Gennady Golovkin who is the real rival of Canelo.

Undefeated and undisputed welterweight champion Crawford (40 – 0) has defeated his rival Errol Spence jr. last July 29, 2023 but still not enough to win vs Canelo.

It can be recalled that both Crawford and Spence Jr. have been craving to fight the Mexican superstar but to no avail.

When asked if Crawford can win vs Canelo, Sanchez said: “He [Crawford] gets beat. So, in my opinion, that’s not a good fight.”
