Jake Paul's combat sport
Jake Paul is a boxer and not an MMA fighter. He has yet to make his professional MMA debut.
The difference between a boxer and a fighter is that a boxer can only give you a set of jabs and uppercuts to defeat his/her opponents inside the ring. Whereas a professional fighter may use any form of combination of strikes, kicks, and other grappling techniques to defeat his/her opponent. A professional boxing match consists of 4 to 12 rounds of 3 minutes each, depending upon the scale of the promotion and other factors. While professional mixed martial arts consist of a minimum of 3 rounds of 5 minutes each.
Jake Paul signed a multi-year deal with PFL on January 5, 2023, and started training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
