After securing a split decision win over Tyron Woodley on Aug. 29 in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, internet sensation Jake Paul improved his professional boxing record to 4-0. The eight round bout was Paul’s second consecutive fight headlining a pay-per-view card, with his first headliner being a victory over another former MMA fighter, Ben Askren.

Paul, a former Disney Channel actor and Vine star, has since grown his popularity and fanbase by developing content on other forms of social media such as YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.
