The social media personality, Jake Paul, is the emerging phenomenon in the sport of boxing. His professional debut against the YouTuber, AnEsonGib, was one of the biggest events of the year 2019. Since then, he never looked back and fought four more fights. However, most of the boxing speculators thought that ‘The Problem Child’ is way too ridiculous to be a boxer, but then he stunned everyone in the boxing fraternity with his emphatic wins.

Despite his accolades so far, his fighting skills and technique have remained questionable. Notably, ‘The Problem Child’ didn’t grow up as a trained boxer, which stunned the boxing world.

This is close to being unimaginable to many social media users. Therefore, it led to a trend on Twitter. While ‘The Problem Child’ was celebrating his victory in the rematch against Tyron Woodley, ‘rigged’ was trending on social media platforms.
