If you don’t know who Jake Paul is, allow an explanation
Jake Paul is a young man who makes his money from making videos for YouTube. Now 21 years old, Paul rose to prominence for playing the role of Dirk on the Disney Channel series Bizaardvark.
Jake, like his brother Logan – the weird fella who was criticised for uploading a video to YouTube featuring the body of a Japanese person who had just taken their own life – is no stranger to controversy; from allegedly making his own house address public and attracting droves of fans to his neighbourhood in Los Angeles to posting a video to the video website proclaiming the fact that he had lost his virginity.
He’s an interesting person, to say the least.
Paul was also in the public spotlight in August when he fought YouTuber Deji on the undercard of their older brothers’ – KSI and Logan Paul – white collar fight at the Manchester Arena.
Both Paul brothers won their fights on that night, with Jake being handed a neat little WBC YouTube belt to officially name him as, erm, the guy who beat Deji, presumably.
Well, it appears that Paul is feeling quite attached to that belt because when Paul entered the ring as a guest of boxer Luis Ortiz on the undercard of Fury vs Wilder, he was wearing it draped across his chest.

Paul’s appearance alongside the 39-year-old Cuban confused and tickled fight fans in equal measure, with many utterly aghast at his decision to wear a belt such as his to a real, professional boxing match.
