Combat sports fans may love or hate Jake Paul. But they sure can’t ignore him. Ever since he has entered the boxing sport, he has created a lot of chaos by calling out several athletes for a boxing fight; his latest conquest being a second victory over UFC fighter Tyron Woodley.

However, this isn’t it. He has also had an ongoing feud with boxer Claressa Shields. News about Shields pushing to fight on a Jake Paul undercard has been going around. Reportedly, the boxer’s promoter and manager both tried to get her a fight on Paul’s undercard. This led to a feud between Paul and Shields.

It seems that Paul is ready to let go of this feud with the boxer. In a recent tweet, ‘The Problem Child’ wrote“Let’s put this behind us and work together to continue to build women’s boxing”.

It seems that the YouTuber and boxer is not just interested in making a name for himself in the sport, but also wants to uplift women’s boxing. In fact, he has had a huge role to play in boxer Amanda Serrano’s recent stardom. Serrano had been waiting for the perfect mega-fight for a long time. Apparently, it was Paul’s idea to have a female boxer on the undercard and that’s how Serrano came on board.

Since then, she became one of the most prominent and well-known female boxers. Thus, Paul surely has the recognition and power to get other great athletes into the limelight. After Amanda Serrano, it would be interesting to see how else he would contribute to building women’s boxing.

What’s next for Jake Paul?

The boxer has been continuously calling out several UFC fighters and had a huge back-and-forth with Dana White. However, the arguments seem to have culminated in nothing. But a boxing bout with Tommy Fury would definitely be interesting.

Many have accused Paul of not fighting a real boxer. So, if he could successfully defeat Tommy Fury, these accusations would no longer make sense. Who do you think he should fight next?
