Jake Paul was submitted in his first 'MMA fight' as part of a video for his YouTube channel, months before he ever decided to start boxing.
The social media star first laced up gloves for a serious training session in February 2018 after being called out by KSI, and ultimately agreed to face his younger brother Deji that summer. But in a video which was later deleted, Paul could be seen sparring with former Bellator star AJ Agazarm, at the time a few months from his professional debut, in a 'cage fight'.
Over five years on from when the video was filmed and released, Paul has now signed for a legitimate professional MMA debut under the PFL banner. He will compete in the promotion's pay-per-view 'super-fight' series, and take a piece of ownership of the promotion.
