Michael Jai White and DJ Vlad discussed the surprising popularity of YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, who has become more widely recognized than established boxers like Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta “Tank” Davis. Despite having no formal boxing background, Jake Paul's transition from social media star to professional boxer has captured massive public attention, making him a prominent figure in boxing today. White praises Paul’s ability to engage audiences, acknowledging the undeniable impact he’s had on the sport.
