Jake Paul has had quite an unexpected impact on the sport of boxing in recent years. The trend of YouTube boxers started when his brother Logan Paul and KSI took to the ring to settle their beef. However, the elder Paul brother later shifted his focus to the WWE, while Jake thrived in boxing. Subsequently, Paul has now reached a point where he believes he is a bigger star compared to Conor McGregor, Gervonta Davis, and Canelo Alvarez.
Paul is currently set to fight the legendary heavyweight Mike Tyson, who is the current talk of the town. The fight has also attracted a lot of attention and criticism from various corners of the combat sports world. As such, this has evolved the fight into a new kind of popularity, which is quite rare.
Paul believes that it has set him apart from other fighting stars, and he took to his Instagram story and stated:
Wait who is the face of Boxing and MMA? @canelo @gervontaa @thenotoriousmma.Jake Paul on his Instagram Story
In the Instagram story, Paul uploaded a screenshot of a reel and circled the views in them. Most of them were above 20 million, and his video with John Cena has 109 million views. However, his recent video with Tyson had 173 million views.
Hence, Jake Paul flexed how trending and viral he is among fans compared to other fighting stars like Alvarez, Davis, and McGregor. ‘The Problem Child’ also questioned who the actual face of boxing and MMA is while targeting them.

Right after the announcement of the Paul vs. Tyson exhibition bout, several celebrities expressed their worries about Tyson’s condition. Colby Covington mentioned that Tyson’s heart might explode, while Dana White highlighted their significant age gap. Furthermore, sports commentators like Stephen A. Smith also expressed their dissatisfaction towards the fight.
However, a significant portion of the audience believes that Mike Tyson still has a chance, regardless of his age. This is mainly because of his legendary heavyweight status and his notorious punching power. Hence, Tyson is preparing and training hard for the fight, but so is Paul. Initially, he portrayed that he was partying and having fun, but Paul dismissed this notion with a recent video.
As such, the Problem Child gave fans a glimpse of his training with a USA Boxing partner. In the video, Paul can be seen at the Colorado Springs Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. Furthermore, the 27-year-old seems to be working hard ahead of the upcoming fight.
