Jake Paul is arguably one of the most recognizable faces on the internet.
The 27-year-old began his career posting short videos on Vine (RIP) and had amassed 5.3 million followers on the app before it closed down.
He has since gone on to be one of the highest paid content creators on YouTube and launched a career in boxing in August 2018.
Paul has largely fought against former MMA fighters with wins over Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz in the past six years.

His only defeat came against British cruiserweight and social media personality Tommy Fury in 2023, but his last four bouts in the ring have all been successful.
After sharing a training video of himself preparing for his upcoming fight against heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, fans were left a little bit confused by his appearance.
On November 15, Paul is due to fight Tyson at the AT&T Arena in Arlington, Texas in a first-of-its-kind event that will be live-streamed on Netflix.

And, on Tuesday, the YouTuber posted a bizarre video on Instagram of him working out with a large stomach.
In the short clip, Paul sits on a benchpress bench and says: "New [personal record], 500 pounds. I’m the strongest heavyweight in existence. No spot."
While the belly seems to be prosthetic, it still prompted a number of people, including his owner brother, to joke about him being 'pregnant.'
Logan Paul cheekily asked: "When you due bro?"

Another commented: "He’s pregnant????????? Y his stomach so out like that?"
And a third wrote: "Why is he wearing a fat suit?"
Others took to X (formerly Twitter) to endorse Tyson for the fight.

Alongside a repost of Paul's video, one person said: "I’ve never been more confident in Mike Tyson than after watching this video that Jake Paul just put out on Instagram."
Social media users also pointed out the fact that the weights he lifted in the video appeared to be fake.
One user wrote: "500lbs and the bar didn’t bend at all nice fake weights."
"Lifting weight like that can’t be good for the baby," another joked.

Paul and Tyson were originally supposed to fight this past summer, but the event was pushed back after Tyson suffered a medical emergency due to an ulcer flare-up.
However, the 58-year-old remained confident following the health scare, releasing a statement reading: "Jake Paul, this may have bought you some time, but in the end you will still be knocked out and out of boxing for good."
