FILE - Jake Paul speaks during a news conference Monday, Sept. 12, 2022, in Los Angeles. Jake Paul’s unorthodox career in boxing might just be about to get serious. The YouTube megastar influencer-turned-prizefighter will be coming up against a recognized professional boxer for the first time Sunday when he takes on Tommy Fury.
Since venturing into boxing in 2018, Paul has fought a fellow influencer, a former NBA basketball player and threeFighting Fury is widely regarded as a step up and the WBC, which is sanctioning the fight, recognizes it. Indeed, if the 26-year-old Paul — a blond, bearded social-media phenomenon — wins, he will be granted a place in the WBC’s world rankings at cruiserweight.
“Jake has dedication and respect to the sport,” the sanctioning body said, “and the WBC will not tolerate discrimination against anyone. He deserves the opportunities that any other boxer has.”Then again, Paul is not exactly operating in those circles or attempting to please that demographic.
