Jake Paul is arguably the biggest name on the influencer boxing scene, and he’s now set to take on one of the sport’s icons.

‘The Problem Child’ will be facing the biggest challenge of his career when he shares the ring with ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson on November 15.

Since the YouTuber-turned-boxer made his professional debut, he has blown away most of his opponents.

However, that’s expected to change against Tyson, and the result is going to impact both of their professional records.

‘Iron’ had an incredible record of 50-6 which made him one of the greats, but what is Paul’s record? talkSPORT.com takes a look…

Jake Paul: Wins, losses and record

Paul has competed in 11 professional fights in his boxing career.

Out of those fights, he’s won 10 with one defeat which came against Tommy Fury in February 2023.

He has claimed seven victories via knockout or TKO.

Jake Paul: Weight, height and reach

Ahead of his most recent win over Mike Perry which was fought at cruiserweight, Paul weighed in at 200lbs.

The 27-year-old stands at 6ft 1 [185cm] and has a reach of 76in [193cm].

He will be fighting at heavyweight for the clash with Tyson which means he will be stepping into the ring at his heaviest.

But Paul has had an incredible body transformation over the years and he is expected to hit the mark.

Jake Paul: All fights so far

Paul started his professional career by knocking out a fellow YouTuber in Miami back in January 2020.

The American floored his UK social media foe Gib three times in the opener, causing the referee to stop the obvious mismatch.

Few predicted just how one-sided the bout would turn out to be, with Gib having previously won his two white-collar contests.

Paul next knocked out former NBA star Robinson in the second round of a rather bizarre fight in November 2020.

The ex-Vine star settled his feud with the NBA great on the undercard of Mike Tyson’s comeback exhibition against Roy Jones Jr.

Paul scored his first knockdown in the first round before he sent Robinson to the canvas twice more following several devastating right hands.

Paul made light work of another UFC star by knocking Ben Askren out in the first round of their fight.

The former Disney Channel actor flattened ex-welterweight Askren with a right hand inside the opening two minutes to claim an emphatic victory.

A nice jab set up Paul’s overhand right and despite Askren getting up, the referee called it day with ‘Funky’ looking unsteady on his feet.

Paul’s toughest fight to that point was his first showdown against Woodley in Cleveland as he went the distance for the first time in his career.

He secured the win by split decision and couldn’t hide his delight after winning 77-75, 75-77, 78-74 on the scorecards.

Paul’s second bout with Woodley proved more straightforward as he knocked out the 40-year-old with one punch in their rematch.

Paul then beat Anderson Silva by unanimous decision in their exhibition fight in the USA.

The then 25-year-old maintained his flawless professional record against the UFC legend, moving to 6-0, with the judges giving scores of 77-74, 78-73 and 78-73.

This was Paul’s toughest fight to date and after a hard-fought six rounds, he made his statement in the seventh.

He knocked down Silva with a strong right hand, winning the final round, which ended up proving to be all-important.

Next came his first and only career defeat to Tommy Fury in early 2023.

After months of digs and barbs, the Brit and the American finally met in Saudi Arabia.

Paul knocked Fury down in the eighth round, but Tyson Fury‘s half-brother won via a split decision, with the judges scoring the contest 76-73, 76-73 and 74-75 in favour of the Brit.

This put Paul on 6-1, and was a serious setback.

However, he’s bounced back and has won his last four fights comprehensively.

Next up was UFC legend Nate Diaz.

The American elected not to extend his UFC contract in 2022, and he moved into boxing.

Paul stepped into the ring just three months after his defeat to Fury and won via unanimous decision.

In truth, it wasn’t close as the judges scored it 97-92, 98-91 and 98-91.

But The Problem Child wasn’t done there for 2023 as he faced a third different opponent of the year in Andre August.

August was an unknown professional boxer, but he was viciously knocked out by Paul in the first round.

The end came when Paul followed a left-handed jab with a brutal uppercut that floored his opponent.

Paul then took on Ryan Bourland in his first fight of 2024.

Again, his opponent proved to be no match as he recorded a first-round TKO.

Bourland offered little resistance as Paul laid into him for a full minute before the referee waved it off.

That set him up for the original meeting date with Tyson, however, the icon had to pull out due to medical concerns.

It meant Mike Perry stepped in for what was just his second professional boxing match.

And Perry proved no problem for Paul who knocked down his opponent three times on his way to a brutal KO win.

Jake Paul next fight: What has been said?

Tyson will be aware of Paul’s impressive record, but he pointed out that the calibre of his previous opponents are nothing like him.

“He can fight boxers his level. I do not believe [he’s on my level], not at all,” Tyson told FOX4.

“[The fight will be] not long, because as soon as I catch him he’s gonna run like a thief.

“I don’t see how he’s gonna make an exciting fight by running all day.

“He’s supposed to be the young guy, he’s supposed to walk right through me, I’m an old man.

“He’s gonna run all f***ing night. I think he should try [standing toe-to-toe], he’s the younger man, he should be able to handle punches from an old withering man like me.

“I can’t wait for this evening to happen. I don’t believe Jake is taking this serious. I just don’t think so.

“I think he believes he’s the young guy and I’m the quasi-retirement charm and he thinks this is going to be an easy touch.”
