Jake Paul’s carefully managed boxing career continues to produce interesting matches.
Jake Paul, also known as “Problem Child,” often seeks out opponents who are older and smaller in order to capitalize on his athletic advantages.

If you sign up to fight random people, you might even get a double zero.
It takes courage to stand your ground and stand up with one foot in the pocket against a heavy swinging opponent, but a knee to the body can be deadly.
