Jake Paul’s boxing career started out with an incredible win, although he struggled with putting his plan into action on the night.The YouTube star made the transition to boxing in 2018. Jake Paul’s boxing debut was against fellow YouTuber Deji, where the bloodied Paul won a fifth-round retirement.

Since then, the controversial star has gone on to fight numerous fighters, including Paul’s wins over former champions like Mike Tyson and Anderson Silva.

Paul’s next fight is a clash with former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, and he will hope to emulate his previous performances by defeating him on June 28.

Jake Paul knocked out AnEsonGib on his professional boxing debut

After an amateur win over Deji in his debut fight in 2018, two years of training saw Paul take on another YouTuber in his first professional boxing match.

As the co-main event of the WBO world middleweight title bout between Demetrius Andrade and Luke Keeler, Paul battled AnEsonGib in both men’s first foray into real fighting.

It was clear from the first round of their fight on January 30, 2020, that neither of the fighters had much experience in the ring.

They both fought with a very unorthodox stance, with Gib falling over multiple times in the first round due to his unbalanced style of boxing.
