Why is Jake Paul called the rooster?

Jake Paul was born on January 17, 1997, in Cleveland, Ohio. He became an early star on the now-defunct video app Vine before becoming a YouTuber known for pranks and vlogs. Paul was also an actor whose first role was on the Disney Channel series "Bizaardvark." The Ohio native created Team 10, a collaborative entertainment group, with whom he released the single, "It's Everyday Bro," which became a viral hit, despite being poorly received. He further expanded his ventures into business, endorsing popular brands like Celcius and Betr, while also hosting his own podcast called ‘BS w/ Jake Paul’.

‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul started his pro-boxing campaign in 2018. Since that time, he's compiled a 10-1 record with victories over the likes of Nate Robinson and former UFC fighter Nate Diaz. Paul would continue to expand his combat sports portfolio when he recently inked a multi-year deal with the Professional Fighters League, as well as co-founding the promotional company Most Valuable Promotions. Paul's next outing is scheduled against Mike Tyson on November 15, 2024.

Jake Paul Nickname

Jake Paul is nicknamed ‘The Rooster,’ or ‘El Gallo de Dorado,’ due to his confident fighting style in the boxing ring that resembles a gamecock. This nickname was adopted after he moved to Puerto Rico, where he has been training. He even wore red feathers on his fight shorts against Ryan Bourland to honor this moniker, symbolizing his aggressive and bold fighting style.

Jake Paul's former ring moniker is ‘The Problem Child’. That name comes from his controversial, riveting persona on screen and off. First famous for YouTube pranks and music videos, Paul transitioned to boxing but not without creating chaos in a career that's been short but full of attention. He always embraced the role of a villain, which has certainly helped him become a recognizable name in the sport and develop a massive following on his side.
