Jake Paul has cited the PFL's mission of being a "fighter-first" organisation as the reason he signed with the MMA league.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer has won six professional boxing fights since ditching his internet fame for a career in the ring, but he will turn his attention to the cage as he gears up for his MMA debut. PFL, which stands for Professional Fighters' League, are debuting a new 'super-fight' division later this year which is separate from their league format.
Paul revealed that along with his manager Nakisa Bidarian, he sat down with PFL bosses Donn Davis and Peter Murray to negotiate his move to the PFL. The 25-year-old will also serve as the head of fighter advocacy for the promotion, doubling down on his efforts to guarantee MMA fighters more money and equal opportunities.
