While his brother Logan Paul began the trail of YouTube boxing by facing KSI, Jake Paul continued the roots. In his debut against Ali Eson Gib, ‘The Problem Child’ shocked the world by unleashing a first-round KO. It didn’t even seem competitive, as Paul took a mere round to bag the win.

In his second fight against NBA player Nate Robinson, Paul unleashed another dominant win via second-round KO. He even stole a piece of the spotlight from Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., the PPV headliners. So, there’s no doubt regarding the power in his fist. But will he be equally efficient in going to the distance?

Jake Paul will fight MMA prodigy Ben Askren next in a boxing fight on April 17. Prior to the bout, he is training with UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal. That said, Paul is now under professional guidance and it will clearly strengthen him into a better puncher.

Amid all the hype and trash talks, ‘The Problem Child is aware of his capabilities. During his verbal feud with Canelo Alvarez, Paul accepted that he is nowhere near the P4P king in terms of boxing accolades. But he envisions the fight to happen after three years. So, he clearly has an eye for developing.

If Paul wins his next fight against Askren, he will tout it as his first win against a professional fighter. We can also foresee him calling out other UFC fighters and boxers after that. Thus, it’s safe to state that ‘The Problem Child’ is evolving in the sport and can rightfully deserve a spot in the boxing family after a few more wins.
