Jake Paul has quickly turned himself into a household name in the boxing world.

Many boxing bigwigs have criticized him in the past, but there are countless pugilists who appreciate what he’s doing for the sport in general.

“You know shout out to Jake Paul at the end of the day it takes a real man to step in the ring, not a lot of people understand the hard work and the type of heart you need to step in that ring and get punched in the face,” he said.
