Boxing fans think Jake Paul was "punched back to YouTube" as influencer returns

Jake Paul has been mocked by boxing fans for returning to his YouTube career ahead of his fight against Nate Diaz.

Content creator Paul, 25, crossed over to YouTube after soaring to fame on the now-defunct social media platform Vine. The former Disney star stopped regularly uploading to his YouTube channel with over 20million subscribers in the lead-up to his fight against Ben Askren in April 2021.

After knocking out former UFC star Askren in one round, Paul opted to only use his YouTube channel to promote his upcoming fights. 'The Problem Child' has now returned to a weekly upload schedule on the platform just months way from his fight against Diaz on August 5. Fans have now laughed at Paul for going back to his roots after suffering his first professional loss to Love Island star Tommy Fury in February.
