PORTRAIT – The 27-year-old YouTuber-boxer won his challenge by defeating the legendary Mike Tyson, now 58, on Friday. The organization of this fight earned numerous criticisms from Jake Paul, whose career is debated in the United States
Inflicting the 7th defeat of his immense career on Mike Tyson does not guarantee winning the support of the boxing world. Jake Paul is learning this the hard way since his ultra-media success on Friday evening at AT&T Stadium in Arlington (Texas) against the world heavyweight champion in 1989. The reasons? This aspiring US professional boxer (27 years old, 10 victories in 11 fights) faced “Iron Mike” at the age of 58, and his personality is particularly divisive across the Atlantic.
Jake Paul is thus above all perceived as a controversial YouTuber, having achieved fame thanks to videos on social networks before becoming a skillful businessman. Born in 1997 in Ohio, he began his adventure as an influencer as a teenager by posting schoolboy videos on the Vine and YouTube networks from 2013 with his brother Logan. His audience growing, he was recruited by Disney Channel for the series Bizaardvark where he plays a tailor-made character, before being quickly fired.
