It’s a tough thing for a man to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders; when it feels as though every action, every move, every moment could have great and lasting consequences. Sadly, it’s a burden celebrity boxer Jake Paul seems destined to bear, as he marches forward in his pugilistic career.

Most recently, Paul defeated former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in an eight-round professional boxing contest. The bout was a clear and consistent step forward for the former Disney actor and YouTube star, as he made his climb from facing social media personalities and non-combat sports athletes, to wrestling-based MMA fighters, and finally to a notably distinguished striker.
