BiographyJake Joseph Paul (born January 17, 1997) is an American professional boxer, influencer and actor. He began his career posting videos on Vine in September 2013 and had amassed 5.3 million followers and 2 billion views before the app was discontinued. He launched his YouTube channel, Jake Paul, in May 2014, and was ranked by Forbes as one of the highest-paid YouTube creators of the 2010s and 2020s.
As an actor, Paul's first role in a feature film was in the 2016 film Dance Camp. He went on to star as Dirk Mann on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark (2016–2018) and appear in the films Airplane Mode (2019), Mainstream (2020), and A Genie's Tail (2022). He has also made guest appearances in the television series Walk the Prank (2016), The Price Is Right (2017), and Ridiculousness (2020).
Paul's boxing career began in August 2018 with a white-collar boxing match against Deji Olatunji, which he won via technical knockout. His professional boxing debut was against AnEsonGib in January 2020. He later faced and defeated former basketball player Nate Robinson and former MMA fighters Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley (twice), and Anderson Silva.
In February 2023, Paul lost to Tommy Fury via split decision in his first fight with an active professional boxer. He then built a winning streak defeating Nate Diaz, Andre August, Ryan Bourland, and Mike Perry. His November 2024 bout against Mike Tyson, which he won via unanimous decision in Texas, achieved the biggest boxing gate receipts in U.S. history outside of Las Vegas. In December 2025, Paul suffered his first stoppage loss to former two-time unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. Earlier that year, Paul defeated former WBC middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision, which briefly earned him a top fifteen Cruiserweight ranking by the World Boxing Association.
In 2021, Paul founded Most Valuable Promotions, a boxing promotion alongside his adviser Nakisa Bidarian, and founded Anti Fund, a venture capital firm with Geoffrey Woo. The fund was recently reported to hold over $65 million in investments and assets.
