The YouTuber-turned-boxer takes a step forward in terms of name and quality with his latest opponent.

Jake Paul will face the toughest foe of his career when he faces off with Mike Tyson in a highly anticipated bout this Friday at AT&T Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

The Problem Child has made several impressive leaps throughout his nascent career so far, but The Baddest Man on the Planet is a new level for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

With a 10-1 professional record to his name to date, Paul's clash with Iron Mike this week will bring up a dozen officially sanctioned bouts for the 27-year-old.

But just what has brought him to this moment? DAZN looks back at his road to the fight, including his former opponents and performances so far.

What is Jake Paul's professional boxing record?

Jake Paul holds a 10-1 record in boxing, registering ten wins and one loss across eleven fights, including seven wins by knockout.

He fought one amateur bout in 2018, which he also won by knockout, before turning professional in January 2020.

Paul has fought three bouts per year in 2021 and 2023, with his upcoming fight against Tyson the third of 2024 for the star.

Throughout his career, Paul has mostly fought other social media stars and sportsmen from outside of boxing, with few opponents carrying legitimate reputations in the ring.

He made his debut against YouTuber AnEsonGib in January 2020 before facing ex-basketball player Nate Robinson on the undercard of Tyson's exhibition bout with Roy Jones Jr.

Paul then fought a trio of mixed martial artists in Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva, with two bouts against Woodley after the first was ruled a split-decision victory.

The 27-year-old suffered his only career loss in 2023 against Tommy Fury, the reality television personality and younger brother of Tyson Fury, before facing MMA star Nate Diaz.

Bouts with professional boxers Andre August and Ryan Bourland prefaced another MMA fighter in Mike Perry, but Tyson represents the largest name Paul has faced in the ring.
