Jake Paul Has Now Knocked Out Each Of His Pro Boxing Opponents, After Tyron Woodley Rematch

Thus far, Jake Paul’s transition from YouTuber to professional boxer has been nothing but seamless.

Over the weekend in Tampa, Fla., Paul – who has a multi-fight deal in place with Showtime Sports – clinched a knockout win against opponent Tyron Woodley, bringing his professional record to 5-0.

And now, The New York Times reports, Paul has his sights set on fighting active Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) stars, which would undoubtedly mark a massive draw and solidify the 24-year-old’s unique propensity for spectacle. Paul has named as prospective opponents UFC welterweight champ Kamaru Usman, Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, and Conor McGregor.

While Paul has earned knockouts in his first three pro bouts, his fourth bout — and first with Woodley — back in August ended in a split decision in his favor

. Saturday’s knockout, notes the Times, means that he has now knocked out every single opponent he’s faced — though it’s worth noting that Paul has yet to fight anyone with pro boxing experience.

Over the weekend, Paul was initially supposed to face off against U.K. reality star and boxer Tommy Fury, though Fury ultimately had to pull out due to medical issues.

You can check out the knockout moment, which has nabbed 8.6 million views for the Showtime YouTube channel, right here:
