Jake Paul teases that his boxing days are over following his big headlining fight against former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight titleholder Tyron Woodley.
Paul (4-0 in boxing) defeated Woodley (19-7-1 in MMA, 0-1 in boxing) via a split decision (watch highlights here) in Showtime Boxing’s pay-per-view (PPV) headliner last night (Sun., Aug. 29, 2021). The event took place inside Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
Conversations about Paul’s next opponent were taking place before the Woodley fight and it only ramped up in its aftermath. The YouTuber-turned-professional boxer had a backstage altercation with Tommy Fury, and considered a rematch against Woodley. Other names circulated before-and-after the fight include Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal. But if Paul is to be believed, his pro boxing days may be over.
“Updated status: Retired boxer,” he tweeted on Monday.
If Paul were to retire, he would conclude his pro boxing career with an undefeated 4-0 record. He earned consecutive knockouts (KO) or technical knockouts (TKO) against fellow Internet personality AnEsonGib, former NBA player Nate Robinson and former UFC fighter Ben Askren (watch here). His most recent bout was the split decision against Woodley.

Jake paul is a better boxer than Muhammad Ali. Don’t get me wrong. Ali has obviously had a better career and is one of the greatest of all times, but in terms of individual quality Jake Paul is the better Boxer.
