Jake Paul, the famed YouTuber-turned-professional boxer, has set his sights on a significant milestone in his boxing career: capturing the cruiserweight world title by the year 2025. This ambitious goal comes as Paul prepares for his upcoming bout against American MMA fighter Mike Perry in Florida on July 20, following the postponement of a highly anticipated matchup with boxing legend Mike Tyson due to medical concerns.

Nicknamed “The Problem Child,” Jake Paul has garnered attention not only for his social media stardom but also for his rapid ascent in the boxing world. Despite having faced only one professional boxer, Tommy Fury, among his ten fights, Paul remains resolute in his pursuit of world championship status within the next year.

In an interview with ESPN, Paul confidently stated, “I believe by 2025 I will definitely be a world champion. I think I’m ready for it in the next couple of fights and I’m going to go for it in 2025.”

Paul’s professional boxing career has seen him compete across various weight divisions, ranging from 185 pounds up to cruiserweight. His current record stands at 9 wins and 1 loss, with each fight contributing to his development as a fighter. The anticipated clash with Mike Tyson, originally scheduled in the heavyweight category, underscores Paul’s adaptability and determination in pursuit of his championship ambitions.
