Jake Paul is from Cleveland, Ohio, and he lost to Tommy Fury in February. He has a record of 6-1 with four knockouts.
After his loss to Tommy Fury, Paul made changes to his team. He hired Shane Mosley and Theo Chambers, who are both trainers. Mosley is a Hall of Famer boxer.
Initially, Paul was supposed to fight Fury in December 2021, but he was forced to fight Tyron Woodley instead due to an injury. In the rematch, Paul won the fight via a sixth-round TKO. He previously defeated Woodley by a unanimous decision.
In August 2022, the fight between Paul and Fury was supposed to take place, but it was canceled due to the former’s visa issues. In October, Paul faced Anderson Silva and won via unanimous decision. During the post-match interview, he called out Diaz.
Diaz is a former mixed martial arts fighter who made his debut in the boxing ring. Throughout his time in the UFC, he faced some of the best fighters in mixed martial arts, such as Benson Henderson, Tony Ferguson, and Jorge Masvidal.
In 2020, Paul made his boxing debut and won via first-round TKO against Ali Eson Gib, a YouTuber. He then defeated Nate Robinson, a former NBA player, in his next fight. He then defeated Ben Askren, a former champion of the One Championship and Bellator, in April before facing Woodley and Silva.
