Jake Joseph Paul (born January 17, 1997) is an American professional boxer, influencer, and former actor. He began his career posting videos on Vine in September 2013 and had amassed 5.3 million followers and 2 billion views before the app was discontinued. He launched his YouTube channel, Jake Paul, in May 2014, and was ranked by Forbes as one of the highest-paid YouTube creators of the 2010s and 2020s. As an actor, Paul's first role in a feature film was in the 2016 film Dance Camp. He went on to star as Dirk Mann on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark (2016–2018) and appear in the films Airplane Mode (2019), Mainstream (2020), and A Genie's Tail (2022). He has also made guest appearances in the television series Walk the Prank (2016), The Price Is Right (2017), and Ridiculousness (2020). Paul's boxing career began in August 2018 with a white-collar boxing match against Deji Olatunji, which he won via technical knockout. His professional boxing debut was against AnEsonGib in January 2020. He later faced and defeated former basketball player Nate Robinson and former MMA fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), and Anderson Silva. In February 2023, Paul lost to Tommy Fury via split decision in his first fight with an active professional boxer. He then built a winning streak defeating Nate Diaz, Andre August, Ryan Bourland, and Mike Perry. His November 2024 bout against Mike Tyson, which he won via unanimous decision in Texas, achieved the biggest boxing gate receipts in U.S. history outside of Las Vegas. In December 2025, Paul suffered his first stoppage loss to former two-time unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Earlier that year, Paul defeated former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision, which briefly earned him a top fifteen Cruiserweight ranking by the World Boxing Association. In 2021, Paul founded Most Valuable Promotions, a boxing promotion alongside his adviser Nakisa Bidarian, and founded Anti Fund, a venture capital firm with Geoffrey Woo. The fund was recently reported to hold over $65 million in investments and assets.

- Jake Paul: Biography, Social Media Influencer, Boxer
## Quick Facts FULL NAME: Jake Joseph Paul BORN: January 17, 1997 BIRTHPLACE: Cleveland, Ohio ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Capricorn HEIGHT: 6 ft. 1 in. ## Early Life Jake Joseph Paul was born on January 17, 1997, in Cleveland and grew up in the suburb of Westlake, Ohio. His parents are Greg Paul and Pam Stepnick, and Jake has an older brother, Logan Paul. Greg and Pam divorced when Jake was 7, which created a lot of tension among the family. “There was mental manipulation, and my mom trying to get me on her side, my dad trying to get me on his side,” Jake told The Hollywood Reporter. “All these games and madness and just psychological craziness.” [...] ## Who Is Jake Paul? Influencer Jake Paul gained fame as a social media content creator before launching a boxing career in 2018. As a teenager, the Ohio native built a fan base through viral Vine videos also featuring his brother, Logan Paul. He then launched his own YouTube channel with stunt- and prank-heavy videos. The channel now has more than 20 million subscribers. Although popular, some videos sparked controversy over their content and Jake’s behavior. Known by his nickname “the Problem Child,” Jake faced former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a November 2024 megafight on Netflix. He is engaged to Olympic speed skater Jutta Leerdam. ## Quick Facts [...] Paul, the 28-year-old influencer-turned-pugilist, is a huge underdog for his bout with Joshua, streaming at 8 p.m. on Netflix. Joshua, 36, is a two-time heavyweight world champion with 28 career wins—including 25 by knockout—and former Olympic gold medalist for Great Britain. According to ESPN, a win for Paul would be among the biggest shockers in boxing history—even more surprising than James “Buster” Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson in 1990 at 42-1 odds. Despite what the numbers say, Paul isn’t lacking confidence. “I started my boxing journey here in Miami. We’re bringing it back and I’m going to shock the world and pull off the biggest upset in sports history,” he said during an open workout on Wednesday.
