Jake Paul followed a split decision loss to Tommy Fury with a unanimous decision over former UFC fighter Nate Diaz last August to bring his 2023 record to 1-1. The loss against Fury was Paul's first loss in the boxing ring. Jake Paul says he will focus on his boxing development as he works towards becoming a boxing champion. And the first step is to fight more away from the attention of a PPV event. At still under ten fights in total, Jake Paul has shown that he carries raw power, a strong right hand, a powerful ability, and is in top physical condition.

• Age: 26
• Height: 6' 1"
• Reach: 76"
• Record: 7-1

August has more KO's than me, more wins than me, more experience than me, but I like to gamble. The path to world champ starts here. Just straight-up boxing.
