Even though it was marked with hardships and criticism from fans of the sport, he never let anything dishearten him and pushed through. Moreover, his defeat at the hands of Tommy Fury only further fueled his desire to rise to the top of the sport.

The defeat further strengthened Paul’s resolve to become a world champion. He even called out Canelo Alvarez for a fight but the undisputed champion didn’t give it serious thought.

Even though Jake Paul has been fighting for quite a long time at this point, he didn’t appear to be fixated on becoming a champion before. Rather, the fans previously criticized him for fighting only for money and fame. However, it seems that something helped him change his perspective and strengthen his resolve in the sport.

Recently, boxing reporter Michael Benson shared a quote from ‘The Problem Child’. Paul stated, “I believe that every individual on this planet has a sacred responsibility and uncovering what that is for yourself is a big part of one’s journey. Earlier this year in a spiritual ceremony I saw clearer than ever what my sacred responsibility was – to become world champion. This is what I was destined to do.”

Fans were quick to speculate on the possible contenders. When a fan mentioned Tommy Fury, Paul responded, “He got an offer 3 weeks ago.
