Jake Paul charted his way forward in boxing. He wants to build his promotional company, MVP, and work towards becoming a world champion.
The shortfall of becoming a world champion has caused Jake a lot of ridicule on social media, with fans viewing him as off his rocker and completely clueless. There is no doubt that Jake Paul is addicted to boxing and wants to become a world champion. Without sudden changes in the way he chooses his opponents, he will soon become stale and resigned in his gimmick fights.
Jake’s goals
- Build MVP – focus on women, prospects and cultural events
- Become World Champion
- Do massive events
Can Jake Paul become a World Champion?
Those are admirable goals for Jake Paul to have, and he’s able to accomplish two of them. The world champion thing is probably out of reach at this point, given his late start in boxing.
Paul’s eight-round unanimous decision victory over legend Mike Tyson last Friday night turned him into a villain in the eyes of many boxing fans. It was the lowest of the low move on influencer Jake’s part, but he doesn’t seem to mind being hated.
It’s strange, but he seems to be relishing the role, taking the spot previously held by Floyd Mayweather Jr. as the most hated.
It will take a lot of work for the 27-year-old Paul (11-1, 7 KOs) to rise to become a world champion unless he finds the perfect situation to fight for a vacant title or interim belt at cruiserweight fight.
Paul easily handled 58-year-old Mike Tyson, beating him by an eight-round unanimous decision by scores of 80-72, 79-73 and 79-73.
The event broke the attendance record for a boxing match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. 73,300 fans showed up, shattering the previous record of 73,126 for Canelo Alvarez’s fight against Billy Joe Saunders in 2021. Sixty million homes on Netflix reportedly watched it.
My boxing path forward: Building MVP (the company will be focused on women and prospects and cultural opportunities in any sport), becoming a world champion and doing massive events along the way
