Jake Paul believes he has what it takes to win a major belt, such as WBC, WBO, IBF, or WBA title.
If you watched Paul vs Tyson on Netflix, you may remember the YouTube star claiming he’ll be the fastest boxer in history to become a world champion.
“I’m going to become world champion way faster than people are expecting. I think it could happen in the next 24 months. I truly, truly believe in my skills and my ability and my power.”
Regularly Underestimated
When Jake Paul kickstarted his boxing career, many questioned if he had what it takes to win a fight, and others heavily criticized the amateur fights.
However, the YouTuber has gone from fighting social media stars to going up against various professional boxers in the ring in the space of five years.
His professional record now stands at 11-1 and includes seven knockouts, proving he shouldn’t be underestimated.
A Shot at a World Title
For Jake Paul to earn a spot at a world title, he will first need to beat a professional boxer ranked in the top 15.
As he has the star power to secure big paydays for his fights, which he proved with his fight against Mike Tyson, many fighters might not hesitate to face him in the ring.
As always, Jake Paul has many skeptics who strongly believe he would be outboxed by a top-ranked boxer, but many credible experts have faith in his abilities and suspect he has a shot at a world title.
When asked if he could win a major belt, Andy Foster, a former MMA fighter and boxer, said, “If he keeps improving, yes. He has good boxing skills, and he takes it seriously.”
The Best Path to a Boxing World Title
Jake Paul recently stated he will fight at cruiserweight, which would provide him with the best path toward a boxing world title.
Jake Paul could earn a shot at a world title in one of two ways:
- A mandatory defense – the reigning champion fights a designated contender
- A voluntary defense – a current champion can select a challenger
Mauricio Sulaiman, the WBC president, said, “I can’t imagine a cruiserweight champion not wanting to voluntarily defend against Jake and make potentially an enormous amount of money.”
If you believe Jake Paul will win any WBA, WBC, WBO, or IBF belt in 2025, you could win $2600 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
