#2. Jake Paul could still box in ONE Championship
Jake Paul may not even need to leave boxing if he decides to fight under ONE Championship's banner. Though ONE is mostly known for showcasing MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and submission grappling, they also once promoted boxing.
The lone boxing match in ONE Championship's recorded history happened in October 2018. It was a title fight between Thailand's WBC super flyweight champion Srisaket Sor Rungvisai and Mexico's Iran Diaz.

In partnership with Nakornloung Promotions, the fight headlined their event, ONE: Kingdom of Heroes, and was a pretty awesome match. It was a frenetic back-and-forth slugfest that both pugilists pushed each other to the limit.
Watch the highlights of the boxing match here:
If Paul decides to just go straight to boxing in ONE Championship, who knows, the Asian promotion might just run with it.
If ONE decides to open a boxing leg and promote boxing fights, it might be the start of something big. The Asian fight league already has a huge following and can potentially rival other boxing promotions like Top Rank and DAZN.
#1. ONE Championship can turn Jake Paul into an even bigger social media icon
In 2021, ONE Championship garnered 8.84 billion organic views on Facebook, beating out all other sports properties on the social media platform. The UFC, ONE's major MMA rival, came in 5th place with 1.65 billion views. That's a whopping difference of 7 billion views.
What we're trying to say here is that ONE Championship arguably has a stronger social media presence than any sports league in the world. Showtime Boxing, the promotion Paul is currently fighting under, has about 1.7 million followers on Instagram and Twitter combined. ONE Championship has over 7 million followers.
As someone who uses social media to gain popularity and income, Jake Paul can definitely benefit from this. Signing with ONE can help him be exposed to audiences beyond his usual fans and can further expand his reach globally.
