Jake Paul has once again insisted that he "single-handedly" saved boxing's mainstream appeal when he came into the sport in 2018.
Prior to taking his first white collar fight in 2018, Paul was a famous YouTuber and Disney Channel star with an athletic background that included wrestling and playing football in high school. But he has taken to boxing quickly, stopping British YouTuber Deji in his debut before turning professional in 2020.
He has since gone 5-0, including knockout wins over MMA world champions like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, and sold millions of pay-per-view streams for his fights. But he has drawn the ire of fans with his claims that he brought boxing back from obscurity after Floyd Mayweather's 2015 retirement and brief return in 2017.
