‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul has come across several critics and doubters since setting foot in the world of combat. Despite achieving five wins in five appearances so far, the stigma of being a ‘YouTube Boxer’ has still not left Paul’s corner. However, that hasn’t stopped his prominent surge in the combat sphere.

Boasting an active resume of 5 (4KOs)-0, Paul is now a cruiserweight knockout artist, aiming a potential fight against Canelo Alvarez somewhere down the line. Meanwhile, WWE/UFC champion Brock Lesnar has already hailed The Problem Child’s prominence in the sport.
