Among all the hotshots of boxing, Jake Paul has made a place of his own. The YouTuber turned boxer has garnered immense attention and fame ever since he made his first walk to the ring. Moreover, he is turning out to be a true bad boy of the sport with his antics inside and outside the game.

Last weekend, Paul beat the MMA veteran, Ben Askren, in just round 1 of the fight. With this win, he shut all the naysayers and subsequently showcased his in-ring prowess against a professional fighter.

Also, Paul has his eyes already set on something even bigger after boxing. The 3-0 professional pugilist took it to his official Twitter handle to reveal that he aspires to compete on the gridiron. ‘The Problem Child’ tweeted, “After boxing Imma be a free safety in the NFL.”

In no time, ‘The Problem Child’ has risen to paramount stardom in boxing. He principally broke into the news headlines after ending up on the winning vertical against the former NBA star Nate Robinson. Post that fight, he called out the former UFC double champ, Conor McGregor, and his teammate Dillian Danis.

After beating ‘Funky’ he has called out Nate Diaz.

Paul has already taken the boxing world upside down, and next, he wishes to stir the NFL fraternity. ‘The Problem Child’ might be thinking of expanding his fanbase in football, and it’ll be interesting to see how he may go about his career over there.
