Jake Paul had quite a 2021 and has every reason to celebrate, despite having several naysayers.

The Former YouTuber made a huge career change when he decided to become a boxer. Few thought that he would stick around and pursue it full-time. He had his first amateur bout on the undercard of his brother Logan Paul’s fight against KSI. He defeated Deji Olatunji via TKO in the fifth round.

Two years later, after his amateur bout, he made his professional debut against YouTube AnEsonGib and won via TKO in the first round. Since then, Paul hasn’t looked back and is 5-0 now in his pro boxing career. ‘The Problem Child’ in his last fight brutally knocked out former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in their rematch. ‘The Chosen One’ stepped in on short notice to fight Paul after Tommy Fury pulled out.

Jake Paul and Dana White can’t stand each other

There just doesn’t seem to be an end to the feud between Jake Paul and Dana White. After a constant back-and-forth, Paul issued a challenge to the UFC President. He even said that if White agreed to all the demands, he would retire from boxing and sign a one-fight deal with the UFC to fight Jorge Masvidal.

However, White didn’t seem interested in that proposal and clapped back at Paul in a video. He went after his manager, who used to be White’s accountant, and even said that Paul can’t sell pay-per-views on his own. And that is why he’s calling out names like Masvidal, Nate Diaz, and Conor McGregor.

‘The Problem Child’, while on vacation, responded to White and said, “Steroid test me whenever the f*** you want. It is two weeks after my fight and I am fat b***. I don’t do steroids and I take it as a compliment because there’s no other excuse to me knocking out all your champions… You are the definition of a f**king unhappy billionaire.”
