Paul has a massive following and brings in a lot of new eyes to the sport; it would be very unfair to discredit and not acknowledge the positive difference Jake Paul has made for boxing.

Paul's success as a professional boxer is nothing less than inspiring; he is definitely skillful, but to reach the top tier so early in his career shows the significance of fame. Jake's first ever career loss recently came up against Tommy Fury; even though it was a bitter pill to swallow, he still 'won' because of the large fortunes he accumulated.

"Whatever he wants to do," Paul said, as quoted by dailymail.co.uk. "Saturday is his last day of being a fighter. I'm knocking him the **** out, putting him to sleep. He's a *****. He's a bully. "He's not a professional like I am. That's why I'm doing it at the highest level. That's why he needs me to make these fights.'
