Jake Paul, after starting his online journey on Vine, made his way to YouTube, where he was surrounded by controversy and widely criticized for his attention-grabbing content. However, in the manner of a fighter, he kept at it and even made his way into the world of boxing. One by one, he started facing various MMA fighters. He even pushed the envelope in his fight against Tommy Fury, which was his bout against a professional boxer. He recently even fought against UFC veteran Nate Diaz and won against the legendary fighter.
Boxing is a dangerous sport and so he definitely is putting himself at a lot of risk during his fights. Thus, the question arises- what do his parents think about him risking injuries in the ring despite all the fame and wealth he has accumulated? Recently, Paul shared his mother’s thoughts on him fighting in the squared circle.

Recently, Paul appeared on the podcast of the boxing legend Mike Tyson. In the episode of Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, he was asked about his mother’s thoughts about him participating in the sport. Paul began his statement and stated, “Yeah she’s like-”. But he was immediately cut off by Tyson as the boxing legend brought his most recent bout against Diaz into the conversation. Tyson jokingly asked, “Did she think Nate was gonna kick your ass?”
Paul replied that even though his parents didn’t think he would lose, they were nervous for him, nonetheless. He addressed the build-up and “the s**t talk” that goes on before the fight and stated that his mother doesn’t like it. However, he also revealed that she appreciates his love for the sport.

He said, “She doesn’t love all that, but she knows this is what I love to do and she knows how hard I work and how prepared I am. So that gives her that safety feeling. But at the end of the day, you are watching someone you love getting hit in the face.” It appears that even though his mother is not a big fan of the sport, she is very supportive of the effort he puts into getting better at it.
