Jake Paul was the target of distrust when he decided to exchange his status as an internet star for the ring, but the American continues to silence critics and shows that he does not shy away from challenges. With just one defeat in the first 13 fights of his career, he built a record that includes victories over well-known names like Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and even Mike Tyson.
Now, he will face Olympic champion and two-time unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, in the biggest challenge of his sporting career so far. Netflix broadcasts the card from 10pm.
Between his strength on social media and his results in the ring, Paul turned popularity into money. Sponsorships, millionaire prizes and projects outside of boxing have made his fortune soar in recent years.

Before becoming a boxer, Jake Paul was already earning a lot as a digital influencer. He gained prominence on Vine, a short video app that was successful in the last decade, and took this fan base to YouTube after the platform’s demise.
With humor videos and pranks, he quickly became one of the biggest names on YouTube and turned his fame into opportunities outside the internet, including a role in the Disney Channel series “Bizaardvark”, alongside Olivia Rodrigo. At the same time, he also ventured into music, releasing a song in 2017.
Today, however, most of the fortune comes from boxing and sponsorship contracts linked to fights.
