Jake Paul may have jumped into another stratosphere of popularity after his win over Nate Robinson. However, it’s not like Paul still doesn’t have his swathes of YouTube fans still coming with him for the ride of boxing. The 23-year-old may be a conflicting role model, but he has often expressed a desire to give back to his young fanbase.

Jake Paul has a fanbase of mostly impressionable kids, which is an issue some people have considering the content he puts out. However, these kids are forming emotional bonds with Paul just by watching his videos. That becomes even more evident when you see the interaction Paul had with a nine-year-old fan after his fight.

While the kid held on to Paul for a deep hug, the celebrity boxer was asked how it made him feel. He simply said, “This is who I do it for. I do it for the kids. Growing up in a small town, I want to show these kids anything is possible.”

Paul would also talk to the very emotional kid. He said, “Chase your dreams okay? Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do something.”

Jake Paul and his future

Paul has an incredibly bright future right now. Whether or not he can actually fight elite boxers is one thing, but his name is becoming more mainstream by the day. He basically had half the top NBA players tweet about him after he knocked a member of their fraternity out cold.

Paul is calling out the likes of Conor McGregor, so there definitely is a lot of upside after this win. It genuinely feels like he will return to the ring and have a genuinely massive opponent. regardless of a win, loss, or a draw, Jake Paul has established himself as a massive star that has transcended platforms from Vine to YouTube, and now to boxing.
