Jake Paul ranks as one top-notch young guns in the modern boxing era. In just a couple of years, the YouTuber turned boxer pinned himself as one true hotshot, who’s not just expanding his footprint as a boxer, but also as a promoter. That said, Jake Paul is right at the top of whatever he’s doing and also comes up with some unusual statements.

The Matchroom boss first said, “I just don’t feel you can walk into the sport in your 20s, and go on and be an elite fighter.”

Taking inspiration from that, Jake Paul is supremely confident about making waves in the sport.
