On Saturday, YouTube personality turned professional boxer Jake Paul knocked out former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley.
Paul has quickly become a very polarizing figure in boxing. Despite making his professional debut less than two years ago, Paul has been able to headline multiple pay-per-view contests and rack up millions of dollars on the world’s biggest stage.
Through five professional fights, Paul is 5-0 with 4 knockouts. His success hasn’t come with its own fair share of criticism, however. Many critics claim he hasn’t truly fought a real opponent.
Pauls’ five wins have come against YouTuber AnEsonGib, retired NBA player Nate Robinson, 36-year old retired UFC fighter Ben Askren, and 39-year old UFC fighter Tyron Woodley, whom he has fought twice.
