Jake Paul’s 'Disrupting the space' of boxing — but why is he doing it?

Finding his place as a prizefighter is not something Paul’s inner circle necessarily saw coming. However, it also didn’t take them by surprise.Paul’s mother, Pamela Stepnick, admits to some initial trepidation regarding her son’s shift in career path, but also knew of his craving for competition. Once she became educated the venture wasn’t being done on a whim — and saw the direct positive impacts it had on Paul’s life — his choice was hard to deny.

Paul has no desire to follow the beaten path, though. Taking on Askren, who has no professional boxing bouts but had a world-class wrestling career before becoming a decorated MMA fighter, can bring together multiple audiences. To find success in any avenue in life, commitment is key. It’s easy to hypothesize that Paul doesn’t need to be fully invested in boxing, because he’s got a lucrative fallback. It can be a challenge for someone with money in the bank to manufacture motivation, especially when there are countless athletes who have to invest years to gain a sliver of Paul’s notoriety.

“This isn’t even a job — it’s a lifestyle,” Paul says. “I’m sacrificing so much for this. It’s not one thing; it’s everything added up. It’s the diet; it’s the ice baths; it’s the recovery. It’s the saying no to every opportunity to go hang out with celebrities or girls. It’s the saying no to making music, filming YouTube videos, to going to sleep earlier so you get a good night’s rest. Showing up and working your ass off, being alert.

“The biggest misconception about Jake is that he doesn’t have a boxing career, because he’s ‘not a boxer,’ ” Logan Paul explains. “This fight will prove to everyone just how serious he is about pugilism. He’s a monster. All he does is train. It’s the only thing he cares about.”of all when it comes to Jake Paul’s boxing career. He vows this is not just a phase, and he’s in it for the long haul, with the potential to add “hundreds of millions” to his bank account in the coming years.

“A lot of guys when they’re in a position like this where the sky is the limit or there’s a huge, bright future — a lot of guys fold under pressure. A lot of guys lose focus, they get comfortable and they think they’re invincible. I’m being very cognizant to not make any of those mistakes.”
