The internet sensation, former Disney Star, and now professional Boxer, Jake Paul, gave his fans another reason to cheer for him ahead of his highly-anticipated fight. The YouTube star-turned-boxer SCREAMED in exhilaration after making weight on his 2nd attempt, finally tipping the scales at exactly 200lbs.
In the world of professional boxing, making the weight is as critical as the bout itself. Jake Paul was no exception, as he felt the weight of expectation on his shoulders when he stepped on to the scale for the weigh-in. After failing to make the weight on his first attempt, Paul regrouped and came back with a determination that saw him hit the 200lbs mark on his second attempt.
Known for his larger-than-life personality and controversial antics, the 24-year-old celebrated his achievement in the most Jake Paul-ish way possible. As soon as he saw the magic number on the scale, Paul let out a massive SCREAM, ecstatic at meeting the required weight limit for the fight. His triumphant cheer resonated through the room, encapsulating his relief and marking the end of his rigorous weight-cutting regime.
Paul’s journey from making funny videos to stepping inside the boxing ring has been meteoric. His boxing career, although relatively young, has created quite a stir, not only among the followers of the sport but also, perhaps more significantly, in the broader entertainment industry. So far, the former Vine superstar boasts a professional boxing record of three wins from three fights, two of them being knockout victories.
Ever since he announced his professional boxing debut, Jake Paul has made sure to keep his name in the headlines. Apart from his charismatic persona, much of this has to do with his impressive performances inside the ring. The fact that he secured all three of his wins against athletes from different sports speaks volumes about his adaptability and athleticism.
Regardless of the criticism, no one can deny that his venture into professional boxing has been lucrative. With each passing bout, Paul’s confidence seems to soar, emboldening him to take on experienced fighters. His latest win, a brutal knockout of former MMA champion Ben Askren, has only added to his burgeoning reputation.
Despite Paul’s success, boxing purists have been reluctant to classify him as a professional boxer. Skeptics argue that Paul’s opponents haven’t been real, professional boxers. Paul’s latest weigh-in, however, might act as a message to his critics that he’s serious about pursuing a career in boxing and isn’t here merely for the gimmicks.
Jake’s journey to 200lbs gives his fans more reason to be excited about his next fight. Moreover, his opponents should not underestimate him just because of his social media fame. Jake Paul’s SCREAM might just be a forewarning of the intensity he plans to bring into the ring in his upcoming bout.
One thing is for sure, whether for his boxing prowess or his controversial personality, Jake Paul is a name that continues to dominate the headline. The boxing world, his fans, and critics alike eagerly await his performance in his next bout after hitting the required 200lbs mark.
