The Paul brothers initially gained prominence through YouTube and have continued to thrive on the platform. However, they've also found success in combat sports, where the brothers have made quite an impact.

With eight professional boxing matches to his name, Jake holds a record of seven wins and one loss, securing four of his victories via knockout.

While he faced a defeat against Tommy Fury, the brother of world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, he has notable wins against former UFC stars such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz.

In 2021, Logan made major headlines by stepping into the ring with the legendary undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. for an exhibition match. However, since then, he seems to have found his niche in the world of WWE.

Logan ventured into WWE with his in-ring debut at WrestleMania 38 last year, and his transition into professional wrestling has been remarkably smooth. His athleticism has seamlessly translated to the WWE stage, as demonstrated by his recent victory over the high-flying Ricochet at SummerSlam in August.

Next month, Logan Paul is set to box against MMA fighter Dillon Danis on October 14 live on ESPN+ PPV.
