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.
