People are liking my continuous progress. I’ll be in this game for a long time. This is my destiny. This is my love. I will change the game. I will become world champion.
This is what Jake Paul, who recently defeated veteran boxer Mike Tyson, has to say.
Full name Jake Joseph Paul. Just 4 years ago, 27 year old Paul, who turned YouTuber into boxer, has left behind the legendary professional boxers from all over the world.

In September 2013, Jake began his online journey by posting videos on Vine. Vine used to be an American short video platform. By the time Vine was purchased by Twitter (now X), Paul had amassed over 5 million followers on Vine.
Jack’s early online videos contain more humorous content.
After this, on May 15, 2014, Paul started his YouTube channel. On this, content related to pranks, various kinds of controversies and hip-hop music was posted.
After gaining fame on YouTube, Paul got a chance in Disney Channel’s series Bizaardvark. In this, some challenges were given to Paul’s character, Paul had to complete them. In July 2017, Paul was fired from Bizaardvark midway through the second season.

Earned money from rap songs, removed videos after breakup with girlfriend
However, by this time Paul had earned a big name in the world of YouTube. Then he just said on Twitter that now he will focus on his own brand and YouTube channel.
After this Paul formed a media company. Raised big investment and released a song on YouTube in May 2017. Its name was- ‘It’s Everyday Bro.’ 7 crore people watched it within a month.
This was the third most disliked video on YouTube. After this many songs were released one after the other. However, all the songs were removed from YouTube for some reason or the other. One reason was his breakup with his girlfriend Erica Costel in 2018.
Erica was also involved in several of Paul’s songs.
After this, Paul released many other songs besides the remake of It’s Everyday Bro. Many songs also became big hits. But during this time, gradually all 10 people of Paul’s team left the team.
However, this did not make much difference to Paul’s progress. In 2018, Paul was at second place in the Forbes list of highest earning YouTubers. In later years also, Paul gave good songs like These Days, 23 and Dummy.
Paul’s name remained intact in the Forbes list of highest-earning YouTubers. Meanwhile, Paul had started trying his hand at boxing.
YouTuber turned businessman, fought his first boxing match with YouTuber
In 2021, Paul started a venture capital firm called Anti Fund with entrepreneur Geoffrey Wu. The firm invested in sports gambling company SimpleBet. Later, along with Sipplebet owner Joey Levy, he also started mobile betting company Better.
Invested in defense technology company Anduril Industries in 2022. During this time, Paul made a promotional deal with veteran boxer Amanda Serrano. Also started an organization named Boxing Bullies. In subsequent years he made many more big investments.
During all this, Paul had started professional boxing. On 25 August 2018, Paul fought his first boxing match with British YouTuber Daisy Olatunji and won.
Won 11 matches in professional boxing in 4 years, lost only 1
In 2020, Paul fought his first professional boxing match with Nsangib. Paul defeated Nsangib via technical knockout in the first round. He then defeated renowned boxers like former basketball player Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.

In February 2023, Paul was defeated by Tommy Fury. He then continued his winning streak by defeating Nate Diaz, Andre August, Ryan Borland and Mike Perry.
Now Paul’s victory against Mike Tyson has gone down as the biggest event in American boxing history.
Apart from his loss to Tommy Fury, Paul, who has fought 11 professional fights in the last four years, has not lost even once. He also earned a lot of money from boxing. In May 2022, Paul was included in the Forbes list of highest paid athletes.

Paul has said on many occasions that he wants to become world champion in boxing. In the first one to two years he was made fun of. It was said that a YouTuber who won his first fight against a YouTuber would not stand a chance against professional boxers.
However, after some of his spectacular victories, people’s perception about him started changing. Due to some controversies associated with Paul, he was not considered a serious boxer.
Speaking to the media in November 2023, Paul said,
I’m just a young boxer who wants to become world champion. Earlier my journey was business, but now I am on the path of traditional boxing. I will become world champion.
After defeating Mike, Paul has challenged boxing champion Conor McGregor.
