Boxing: Jake Paul Reveals Ultimate Retirement Goal

Published 09/17/2021, 9:00 AM EDT

Nobody in the combat sports world today is as debatable as the YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul. In a brief span of time, Paul has become one of the genuine stars of the sport. Despite all his controversies and antics, there’s no doubt that Paul has brought in some weight back to the sport of boxing. This came in at a very vital stage.

Also, he’s still in the relatively early days of his career, but he isn’t eyeing a long spell in the ring. Instead, he wants to make the most out of his time in a brief while.

Recently, ‘The Problem Child’, in an interaction with MMA Fighting, spilled the beans on his retirement and more aspirations. He said, “It’d be dope to get to 10-0. Part of me wants to become world champion. I would kick the belt into the f***ing crowd, not give a f*** about it and be like, ‘F*** all you guys who doubted me, now I’m retiring.'” (h/t Michael Benson)

For now, Jake Paul’s track record stands at 4-0. He added his last win back on August 29, when he faced a real boxing challenge presented by Tyron Woodley. Paul dictated the fight for the first half, however, midway, he lost focus.
