JAKE PAUL has no hesitation in admitting he ENJOYS fans wanting him to be knocked out.
After all, that is what has made him $100MILLION (£73m) in the ring – closing in on becoming the highest-paid boxer on Forbes’ list.
The YouTuber-turned prizefighter gave up on trying to be liked the moment he first laced up the gloves – and has profited from being boxing’s bad guy.
Paul told SunSport: “I don’t think they’ll ever show me love, to be honest. To conduct the orchestra, you must turn your back on the audience.
“So I know what I’m doing, I’m just playing a game. People want to tune in to see me lose or the doubters, all of this stuff.
“But, at the end of the day, there’s just as much love that, and that’s what I focus on.”
Paul this year ranked third in Forbes’ list of highest-earning content creators.
He banked $50m (£36m) with $40m (£30m) of that made in his last fight against Mike Tyson – who controversially made a comeback aged 58.
Paul also earned $30m (£20m) in defeat to Tommy Fury in 2023 – his first and so far only loss a boxer.
And after earning $30m (£20m) for his three fights in 2021 alone – the former prankster-gone-prizefighter has cleared over $100m as a boxer.
JAKE PAUL’S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.
Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.
The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul – bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

And he reckons surpassing Canelo Alvarez – who he was in talks to fight this May – is on the cards.
Paul boasted: “I think it could happen for sure. I definitely think it can happen in the next 12-24 months.
“It would be a cool thing to check off in a great accomplishment, so we’ll see what happens.”
Paul, 28, returns to the ring TONIGHT against former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, back down at cruiserweight.
A shock ranking to fight for the WBC world title could be at stake for Paul – while he is always a loss away from his career being derailed.
And it is that threat of being knocked out, embarrassed and proven wrong that motivates him to succeed.
Paul said: “I think definitely I use a bit of like fear and what people say as motivation, inspiration.
“But mostly I try to focus on the love and proving myself right and challenging myself at this point.
“I’ve already exceeded my expectations of what I was going to do in this sport and so everything else here is is a win, right?
“Like, I’ve built my whole entire dream life, businesses, companies, so really I’m just playing with house money now.”

DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband of 22 years left me for a younger model and so I did what any other self respecting single woman in her late 40s would do – I hit the dating scene hard and what I discovered has truly shocked and thrilled me.
I’ve learned more in the past 20 weeks about sex and fun than I did in two decades of marriage.
And there are plenty of men, most of whom are A LOT younger than me, who like the fact I’m older and more self assured.
I’ve learned to expect questions about my sexual preferences within the first message or two, understand that sending nudes is this generation’s version of flirting and the biggest difference – that everyone expects you to keep your options open while dating.
So far I’ve been out with ten men and I don’t regret a single date.
So while my ex made me feel washed up and undesirable these men have reignited something in me.
After discovering our marriage had become a cliché – he was having an affair with his secretary – he moved out and set up home with her within one month.
I was still unravelling when weeks later he told me he was going to be a dad to their unborn child.
Our son and daughter are young adults now but it still hurt that he was moving on so quickly.
Feeling low and rejected, I decided I needed to pick myself up and start having some fun myself.
One night I asked a good girlfriend around and together we tentatively made a profile for me.
Within ten minutes of uploading I was getting matches and a significant number of them were in their 20s.
I’m 47 and thought it was a joke but my friend encouraged me to respond to a couple of them who looked fun.
Since then I have been on the wildest ride and have discovered that dating has changed an awful lot since I was in my 20s.
I’ve gone from, boring stay-at-home wife, to having a huge sexual re-awakening and the time of my life.
The first time I went on a date was with a 28-year-old electrician.
Suspicious, I asked if he was taking the mick. He convinced me he genuinely thought I was gorgeous and wanted to see an older woman ‘because we aren’t as needy’.
And since then the young men keep on coming. I can’t believe it and my married girlfriends are so jealous.
The only time I felt out of my depth was when one man started squeezing my throat during sex. I was so shocked I demanded to know what he was doing.
Surprised, he replied that he thought women liked it. He stopped straight away but that rattled me.
I’m currently seeing three different men and they all bring different things to the party. But there is one guy in particular who I really like and he’s started to make sounds that he’d like to settle with me.
But how can I settle with a 29 year old? That’s nearly two decades difference!
MORE FROM DEAR DEIDRE
DEIDRE SAYS: It is good that you have built your confidence back up and you’re having fun.
You are right to be wary of hurtling head first into a relationship with a much younger man.
There is lots to consider – first and foremost how your children will react.
And just as importantly; do you both want the same things from life? The biggie is the question of children of course. You’ve had your kids, do you realistically want the responsibility of a tiny newborn again?
There is no two ways about it, two decades is significant but he is an adult, so you could of course both make it work.
But you need to be realistic and society, your social network and family may not be so accepting.
It sounds like the time has come to have an honest conversation about what you are both looking for.
And as hard as it will be to end it with him, better to do that now before your lives become further entwined, if there is realistically no future.
If you are ready to settle down (and the fact you have started to fall for this one man, suggests you are) but things don’t work out with him, perhaps it’s time to slow down and make sure you are seeing men with the same outlook as you.
My support pack Age Gaps gives more advice.
Deidre’s mailbag is stashed full with age gap relationship problems. One reader struggled to move on after her younger lover dropped her after sex, a different subscriber wrote in because he fell head over heels for the older woman who uses him as a booty call, while one woman couldn’t move on after her toyboy dumped her for his ex.
It’s a question that gets asked a lot - often with a raised eyebrow: can relationships with a significant age difference actually work?
In short: sometimes yes, sometimes no. The success of an age-gap relationship isn’t always about the numbers, it’s about how those numbers show up in our every day life.
When both partners are at similar life stages – emotionally, socially and sexually – an gap of five, ten or even 20 years can feel irrelevant.
But when one person is still figuring themselves out and the other is settled into long-term routines and commitments, those differences in lifestyles can quietly drive a wedge and cause problems in the relationship.
Age gaps often bring hidden power dynamics. Who has more money, more life experience, more social capital? Who’s compromising more to bridge that gap?
These imbalances don’t automatically mean a relationship is unhealthy, but it’s important that they’re acknowledged.
Society tends to judge these pairings differently depending on who is older.
Older man, younger woman? Often framed as classic or aspirational. Older woman, younger man? Cue the jokes, suspicion or backhanded compliments.
However, for some women, dating younger is about energy, openness and sexual chemistry.
For others, it’s about finally being able to pursue what they want without being tethered to patriarchal expectations of settling down, caregiving or shrinking themselves.
However, the power dynamic isn’t always as one-sided as people assume.
Many younger men are drawn to older women because of their confidence, emotional intelligence, and clarity about life.
These are not naive boys and predatory women – they’re adults navigating attraction that often feels more genuine than conventionally “suitable” pairings.
The reality is, all relationships come with challenges. Age-gap dynamics are just one version of that.
If you share values, communicate well, and genuinely want the same things, an age difference doesn’t have to be a red flag.
But if you find yourself constantly adjusting your behaviour to fit into someone else’s life – or if the age gap is being used to control, impress or mould you – it’s worth asking why that person was attracted to the dynamic in the first place.

THIS 90s movie star appeared in one of the biggest cult classic films of that time.
Now 51, the actress looks unrecognisable after ditching fame for very different career – but can you guess who it is?
Did you guess it was Fairuza Balk who played Nancy in teen classic film, The Craft?
Following her huge career in the 90s, the actress now has taken a very different path in life, making jewellery.
She promotes her pieces on her popular Instagram grid, where she showcases everything from rings to necklaces to bracelets.
The multi-talented star is also lead singer of the band Armed Love Militia and, in 2011, she began to exhibit her own art in LA and New York.
Fairuza also continues to act, and over the years has appeared in the films American History X and The Island of Dr. Moreau and the TV series Ray Donovan.
Without a doubt, Fairuza is best known for her leading role in The Craft.
When the movie hit cinemas in May 1996, it cast a spell on film lovers everywhere and proved a surprise smash at the box office.
The teen horror follows a trio of schoolgirl witches who invite newcomer Sarah to join their coven.
The new addition strengthens their powers and the four teenagers, all viewed as outcasts and bullied by classmates, begin to use their witchcraft to get revenge on those who have wronged them.
In the film, Fairuza’s character Nancy is one of the most powerful of the group.
She leaves a trail of death and destruction with her spells,.
In a spooky twist, Fairuza was so taken with the occult shop in Los Angeles where she researched her role, she bought it.
The film, which also stars Neve Campbell, Robin Tunney, and Rachel True, raked in £40m worldwide – four times its budget – and became a cult hit.
Fairuza also made an appearance in The Craft: Legacy, the 2020 sequel.
The Craft wasn’t Fairuza’s first taste of fame, as she actually grew up as a child star.
In 1985, aged just 11, she took the leading role of Dorothy in Return To Oz.
The film was a sequel to the much-loved classic film, The Wizard of Oz.
This role led to the lead role in another classic film The Worst Witch (1986), where she played Mildred Hubble.
THE UFC resumes pay-per-view action this weekend with a title doubleheader.
Mixed martial arts’ premier promotion returns to action with UFC 317 from its historical home of Las Vegas.
And they’ve put together a mammoth card for their annual International Fight Week event.
Topping the bill is the eagerly anticipated vacant lightweight title fight between former champions Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira.
Topuria, 28, will bid to become the promotion’s TENTH two-division champion 15 months after claiming the featherweight title, which he’s since relinquished.
Oliveira, meanwhile, has the chance to become a two-time king of the lightweights just over three years after he lost the belt on the scales before his clash with Justin Gaethje.
A tasty men’s flyweight bout between champion Alexandre Pantoja and surging Kiwi Kai Kara-France serves as the co-main event of the evening.
UFC 317 promises to be an entertaining night of fights, and SunSport is on hand with everything you need to know about the Sin City card.
UFC 317 will take place on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

Speaking to Joe Rogan at the ceremonial weigh-ins, Topuria vowed: “You’re going to see one of the greatest performances of all-time tomorrow.
“Another domination. Another finish. We are going to make history once again, so tune in.”
Fan favourite Oliveira said: “The lord’s word has always spoken to me and I felt the lord’s word all throughout the week.
“Everything has been perfect, and everything has been working.
“Let me tell you something: I’m ready for him. It’s going to be a great fight, great show tomorrow night. I’m ready for this.”
ANTHONY JOSHUA warned Jake Paul to be careful for what he wishes for after sending him one final menacing message.
The two have been exchanging back and forth messages in private after Paul called out the ex-heavyweight world champion earlier in the year.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer even goaded AJ over his previous knockout losses – but Joshua warned what goes around comes around.
Paul has not DM’d Joshua since his KO tease and told SunSport: “That was the last one.
“He said, ‘I can’t wait to fight. you’re gonna be fighting for your life and you’ll know the feeling that I’ve gone through.’ Or something like that.”
Paul started his boxing journey with an exhibition bout in Manchester against Deji – the brother to his arch YouTube rival KSI.
The American has now been a professional five years and has a record one 11 wins and just one loss – coming against Tommy Fury in 2023.
And Paul wants to return to the UK to fight AJ – dreaming of a stadium full of his most stark detractors.
He said: “My first fight was in front of an English crowd and it’s rowdy.
“I love walking into the lions’ den and so me vs Anthony Joshua, 100,000 people chanting “f*** Jake Paul” would be pretty fun for me.”
JAKE PAUL’S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.
Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.
The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul – bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

Joshua, 35, is yet to return since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois, 27, in September and has since had elbow surgery.
Meanwhile, Paul’s last fight was as controversial as it was commercially successful.
He beat Mike Tyson over eight rounds when the heavyweight great made a comeback aged 58 with over 100 MILLION watching on Netflix.
Now Paul, 28, returns TONIGHT against former middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, back down at cruiserweight.
And he says a ranking with the WBC could await him with victory – putting him in line to challenge for Badou Jack’s green and gold belt.
Paul said: “I think it’s back to the drawing board after this, especially depending on what the WBC and WBA rank me after I win.
“If they rank me in the position where I can go for a world championship, then we’re gonna try and get that done.”
ILIA TOPURIA doesn’t know if Sergio Ramos will be cheering him on at UFC 317 after being GHOSTED by the Real Madrid legend.
Former Los Blancos and Spain star Ramos has attended two of Topuria’s last three fights.
He had one of the best seats in the house for the Georgian-born Spaniard’s incredible KO of Max Holloway at UFC 308 last November.
Footie and MMA fans expected Ramos to be in the stands for Topuria’s lightweight title tilt against Charles Oliveira on Sunday morning as he’s currently stateside with his Monterrey FC team-mates for the Club World Cup.
But Topuria is currently in the dark over Ramos’ attendance after being brutally left on read by his pal.
When asked about Ramos attending the fight, he told Ariel Helwani: “I don’t know I haven’t spoken to him in a long time.
“Actually, I texted him and he didn’t answer me.
“He’s my boy, but he didn’t even answer me.”
Topuria, 28, will bid to become the tenth two-division champion in UFC history in his vacant lightweight title clash with fan favourite Oliveira in the main event of UFC 317.

And he plans to join the illustrious group in devastating and viral fashion.
He said: “Charles is a great fighter.
“I’d say he’s a legendary fighter, one of the few still active in the UFC.
“But the truth is that his style fits perfectly with mine to put him to sleep in the first round.
“Because he has no mobility, he doesn’t move.”
