Jake Paul has been mocked by fans as well as top minds in boxing for claiming that he "single-handedly saved" the sport.
The YouTuber has been trolling the boxing world since his first amateur fight in 2018, and has been ramping up his efforts after making his professional debut in 2020. He is currently one of the most divisive names in the sport, and despite turning some hardcores around with his battle for improved fighter pay, he is still known for his outlandish comments.
And he made a tongue-in-cheek remark about his importance in the sport during a recent episode of The MMA Hour, which has again drawn the ire of supporters. He semi-seriously claimed that he has brought the sport back to prominence since turning to fighting, and slammed the likes of Tyson Fury and Gervonta Davis for not making major fights happen.
