Jake Paul, internet sensation turned boxer, needs very little or almost no introduction in the fighting community today. The 24-year-old American has a global fanbase. Starting off on YouTube, Paul made his way to the Disney series and became an actor.

However, he didn’t settle up and advanced himself to becoming a professional boxer with already 2 KO wins to his name. Meanwhile, Jake Paul had envisioned himself becoming a Navy official or probably a wrestler.

He appears to have had a pretty interesting childhood and was always active. His brother Logan Paul has apparently been his partner in crime and the duo has always managed to remain in the limelight.

According to Business Insider, Paul was born on January 17th, 1997, in Cleveland, Ohio. Both his parents were Internet personalities and reputed workers in their careers. His father Gregory Allan Paul and mother Pamela Ann Stepnick have been constant pillars of support in Paul’s life.

Nicknamed ‘The Problem Child’, Jake Paul has spent most of his life in Ohio, finishing off both his schooling and college in the state.

He was reportedly a bright student with several extracurricular accolades under his belt. He did his schooling at the West Lake High School in Ohio and finished his higher studies at the Cleveland State University.

While he was pursuing his studies, Paul was introduced to wrestling, planting the seeds of his fighting career. Although he later turned out to be a YouTuber, Paul learned the art of fighting in high school.

Jake Paul- From school to stardom

Paul competed at high school wrestling and was one of the finest youngsters in the mix, but he departed the career after finding commendable success on Vine. He made a million followers over there in a brief span, pursuing a similar stint on YouTube.

While he found similar success on YouTube and his acting career, ‘The Problem Child’ laced up the boxing gloves to make his way into the squared circle.
