Jake Paul is peaking up with his boxing run in the most enigmatic manner. A couple of years back, no one could have expected him to become a hotshot in a brief span. However, he defied the odds and did what he was destined to. Taking inspiration from biggies like Mike Tyson and more, Jake Paul carved his boxing run in his own way.

But, he recently went after ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, shedding light on his 15th pro-boxing outing.

Talking to the iFL TV, the YouTuber said, “Mike Tyson fought his 15th fight, a guy with sneakers on, who came, got him off the street just to knock him out so you know. I’m building and people need to be a little bit patient.”

“It’s only been two years since my professional debut and that is well on the agenda and don’t hold you breathe because it’s gonna happen, very soon.”

In 1985, Mike Tyson took his 15th boxing bout against Mark Young. Here, he grabbed a T/KO win in just 50 seconds of round 1. Paul highlighted this fact because he’s received immense backlash for not facing pro-boxers in his short boxing run.

Last year, ‘The Problem Child’ was on the line to meet the Briton Tommy Fury in the ring. But the latter pulled out, citing chest infection and rib injury concerns.
