“Working His Way Up”: While Branding Pair of Brothers “Marketing Geniuses,” Muhammad Ali’s Grandson Praises Jake Paul for Success in Boxing

Jake Paul has been riding the hype train for quite a while now! The YouTuber-turned-pro boxer recently dominated Andre August, knocking him out in the first round. Meanwhile, in an Exclusive Interview with EssentiallySports, Biaggio Ali Walsh, the grandson of Muhammad Ali, praised Jake and Logan Paul for being marketing geniuses. 

Not so long ago, Jake Paul announced his return to the ring, despite having been in the ring on the 15th of this month. However, this time, Paul wouldn’t be the main attraction. Instead, Amanda Serrano will defend her featherweight title against Nina Meinke. Reflecting on Paul’s quick rise, Muhammad Ali’s grandson praised “The Problem Child” for success in boxing. 

Biaggio Ali Walsh: People denying Paul’s legitimacy as a boxer are stupid

While speaking to Noah Lack, the host of the EssentiallySports FanCast, Walsh asserted that Jake and Logan Paul are marketing mavericks. Highlighting Paul’s latest win, Walsh claimed anyone who denies Paul’s legitimacy isn’t the smartest. According to Walsh, Paul is climbing the boxing ladder like any other fighter in the industry. He concluded by praising Paul’s efforts to build his career. 

“I think he is doing a great job. I think him and his brother – both are just marketing geniuses, and I gotta give them that…To say he is not a boxer is, at this point, stupid and, I would say, unintelligent. Jake Paul is a boxer, and he is just working his way up like most professional boxers and fighters do. You work yourself up. Hats off to him and what he is doing” said Walsh. On a separate note, Walsh isn’t the only one talking about Paul, of late.

Former UFC Welterweight champion reveals the only fighter Jake Paul should face in MMA

In his rise to boxing prowess, Jake Paul has built himself an impressive resume with opponents that most people wouldn’t want in the opposite corner. The only loss in Jake’s otherwise pristine record came early this year against Tommy Fury. However, the YouTuber made a massive comeback by defeating Nate Diaz. 

During Jake’s fight with Diaz, a potential MMA rematch was brought to the table. So, now that Jake’s MMA debut is being discussed, Tyron Woodley doesn’t think Diaz should be the first MMA fight for Paul. Instead, he should be the one, and not considering him for the fight is disrespectful.

Do you think Jake Paul is a marketing genius? Also, since Paul’s next opponent is not announced, who do you think would be the perfect match-up for him?
