"There's a new face of the fight game" - Jake Paul proclaims himself as the new poster boy for combat sports

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has proclaimed himself as 'the new face of the fight game' following his big win over Tyron Woodley on Sunday night.

Paul, who is an undefeated professional boxer with a 4-0 record, now has back-to-back wins over former UFC fighters, something which doesn't reflect well on the MMA community. Paul has been insulting and calling out multiple UFC fighters as of late. Paul has even insulted UFC president Dana White multiple times in the past.

Despite his polarizing persona, Jake Paul has managed to grab the attention of the entire combat sports world, just as he had planned.

In an interview with MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn following his fight with Woodley, Jake Paul announced himself as the most recognizable face in the fight game right now.

"There's a new face of the fight game, you know? That's it." said Jake Paul.
