Paul: 'I'm the greatest thing to happen to boxing since Muhammad Ali'

Jake Paul believes he's in a league of his own among current professional boxers.

During a recent interview with DAZN, Paul likened the impact he's had on boxing to that of the late Muhammad Ali.

"For me, I feel like I'm the only one doing it," the YouTuber-turned-boxer said when asked what it means to him to protect the sport. "Everyone else is just trying to gatekeep or say that they're doing things for the sport or something is bad for boxing, but I'm the greatest thing to happen to boxing since Muhammad Ali.

"There's no even debating that. What I've done speaks for itself."

Paul, 28, owns an 11-1 record as a pro, including knockouts. His lone loss was to Tommy Fury in February 2023 via split decision.

Paul's next match will be a cruiserweight bout against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
