Jake Paul has announced his retirement from the influencer boxing format and crowned AnEsonGib as the best influencer boxer in the world. The 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-professional boxer stepped down after nearly five years of competition, boasting an impressive 11-1 record with notable victories over Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley, and Ben Askren.
Paul’s most recent fight saw him defeat former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson by unanimous decision. Despite pre-fight trash-talking, Paul revealed he didn’t intend to knock out Tyson due to the boxer’s age. The match showcased Paul’s growth as a fighter, but also highlighted the limitations of his performance when facing an opponent struggling with their age.
Paul has been praised for his skill and tenacity in the ring, earning him recognition from five world champions. His Most Valuable Promotions company recently announced his retirement, passing the torch to Gib, who will continue to establish himself as a top contender in influencer boxing. AnEsonGib recently secured the Misfits middleweight championship title after defeating Slim Albaher, solidifying his position as the best fighter in the influencer boxing world.
