Jake Paul: podcast appearances and interviews

Jake Joseph Paul, born January 17, 1997, is an American figure known for his involvement in professional boxing, influence, and acting. He started his career by posting videos on Vine in September 2013, gaining 5.3 million followers and accumulating 2 billion views before the platform was discontinued. In May 2014, Paul launched his YouTube channel, which led to recognition as one of the highest-paid YouTube creators of the 2010s and 2020s according to Forbes. As an actor, he made his feature film debut in the 2016 film Dance Camp and starred as Dirk Mann on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark from 2016 to 2018. His film appearances include Airplane Mode (2019), Mainstream (2020), and A Genie's Tail (2022), along with guest appearances on Walk the Prank, The Price Is Right, and Ridiculousness.

Paul's boxing career began in August 2018 with a white-collar match against Deji Olatunji, which he won via technical knockout. His professional debut came in January 2020 against AnEsonGib. He has since defeated notable opponents including Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley twice, and Anderson Silva. In February 2023, he lost to Tommy Fury by split decision in his first fight against a current professional boxer but then achieved a winning streak with victories over opponents such as Nate Diaz and Mike Perry. A landmark bout against Mike Tyson in November 2024 resulted in his win via unanimous decision, setting a record for boxing gate receipts in the United States outside Las Vegas. Paul experienced his first stoppage loss against Anthony Joshua in December 2025, after a victory over Julio César Chávez Jr. which earned him a top fifteen Cruiserweight ranking from the World Boxing Association.

In addition to his athletic pursuits, Paul founded Most Valuable Promotions in 2021 along with Nakisa Bidarian and co-founded Anti Fund, a venture capital firm, with Geoffrey Woo. As of 2026, Anti Fund manages approximately 180 million dollars after closing a 100 million dollar growth capital fund.
