Even with a knockout win over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in late 2021, a lot of people still refuse to be on board the Jake Paul train. The 25-year-old “Problem Child,” however, says he understands where his detractors are coming from.
In a recent interview with legendary trainer Teddy Atlas, Paul says he respects the sport “more than anything.”
“I understand people’s perspective about ‘Oh, it’s a circus’ and ‘this isn’t boxing’ and all of that. But again, all I’m doing is putting in the work and trying to get better in the gym and fighting tougher opponents each time,” he said.
