The controversial YouTuber-turned-boxer, Jake Paul, continues to surprise the boxing world with his ambitious plans. On November 15, Paul faced off against the legendary Mike Tyson, who made his highly anticipated return to the ring in an event that sparked significant controversy.
The fight took place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, serving as the main attraction of a night that shattered all records for viewership and sales.
In his bout against Mike Tyson, Jake Paul secured a victory. The match was widely criticized due to the age and experience difference between the two fighters.
However, the outcome made it clear that Paul has serious intentions in boxing, beyond being just a millionaire spectacle.
Following his success in the fight, Paul has made it clear that his ambitions go further. The YouTuber has shown interest in facing Mexican champion Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez.
This proposal has caused a stir, given that Canelo is considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers today.
Another name added to the list of potential rivals for Jake Paul is the undisputed light heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev.
The Russian boxer recently expressed his desire to fight Paul and would be willing to put his titles on the line. Beterbiev’s proposal surprised many, considering the difference in their careers.
Paul, for his part, reacted to the offer but did not confirm whether he would accept the challenge. The possibility of facing a champion of Beterbiev’s caliber raises questions about how far Paul is willing to go in his boxing career.
On his official “X” account (formerly Twitter), Jake Paul shared a message reflecting his future plans.
“My boxing path forward: Building MVP [Most Valuable Promotions] (the company will be focused on women & prospects and cultural events in any sport), becoming a world champion, and doing massive events along the way,” Paul wrote on “X.”
Paul emphasized that his company will focus on promoting women and prospects, as well as organizing cultural events in various sports.
His statements indicate a desire to build a solid and long-term career in the boxing world, combining business and sporting ambitions.
With notable victories and potential matchups that could shape his career, Jake Paul seems determined to establish himself as a relevant figure in boxing.
While his goals have been criticized by some, the media and economic impact he has had on the sport is undeniable.
The possibility of facing champions like Canelo Álvarez or Artur Beterbiev is both appealing and ambitious.
However, it remains to be seen if these fights will materialize and if the YouTuber can hold his own against top-level opponents.
