"I'm back baby" - Jake Paul announces return to the boxing ring for his sixth fight
Jake Paul has announced his return to the boxing ring as the YouTuber-turned professional boxer aims to go 6-0.
'The Problem Child' was last seen inside the boxing ring in December 2021 when he fought Tyron Woodley in a rematch. Paul registered an emphatic KO victory over the UFC veteran in the sixth round of the fight, becoming the first fighter ever to knockout 'The Chosen One'.
Ever since his bout against Tyron Woodley, fans have been eagerly waiting to see the younger Paul brother fight again. And it looks like 'The Problem Child' is set to mark his sixth pro appearance later this year in August. The 5-0 boxer recently took to Instagram to announce the same and said:
"August I'm back baby! Let's get it."
