In the realm of digital media, trends come and go within the blink of an eye. One day, you could be making videos from your bedroom and can become a viral sensation overnight. Some of YouTube’s biggest creators have made their way into the boxing ring, making millions while fighting actual athletes in the past few years.

The Paul Brothers

Jake and Logan Paul were among the first YouTubers to put on some boxing gloves. In 2018, I covered Logan’s unfortunate forest incident that caused what many deemed the “ Adpocalypse 2.0”. Since then, Logan has been on somewhat of a redemption tour- creating his (slightly irritatingly-named) podcast, “IMPAULSIVE.”

Since his lighting mattress fires days, Jake Paul has also been rebranding himself. Jake first stepped into the ring back in late 2018, when he fought British YouTuber Deji Olatunji. He has been in three other fights with Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, and Tyron Woodly. Jake is undefeated, which isn’t surprising considering the fights he has participated in were unfair from the jump since he usually fights retired athletes.
