Speaker 1: gotta highly anticipated fight with Tyrone Woodley, one time UFC champion,
Speaker 1: that will take place August twenty nine at our Rocket
Speaker 1: Morrigan Field House in your hometown of ohaw, are you
Speaker 1: know home home state of Cleveland, Ohio? What what is
Speaker 1: it like being able to go back home and put
Speaker 1: on a show for possibly kids that have never seen
Speaker 1: a real life boxing match. It's so cool, man, Like,
Speaker 1: I still it's still surreal to me. I don't even
Speaker 1: know if it's really fully set in what I'm doing yet,
Speaker 1: but you know, going to that same arena as a
Speaker 1: kid and watching Lebron play and now being able to
Speaker 1: go back and be the center of attention and put
Speaker 1: on maybe if you know what some for some kids
Speaker 1: it will probably be their first fight that they're ever
Speaker 1: going to. Uh, it's just a dream come true. And
Speaker 1: maybe you know, one kid out there in the crowd
Speaker 1: will twenty years from now sell out that that same Marina.
Speaker 1: You know. That's my goal is to inspire the kids
Speaker 1: from my hometown with this fight and show them that
Speaker 1: they can do anything that they set their mind too.
Speaker 1: And my friends and family are going to be their
Speaker 1: root of me on And you know, I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: it for this fight. I'm gonna need all the motivation
Speaker 1: I can get because this is a serious guy. Tyrn
Speaker 1: is not playing around, and he has knockout power and
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm excited all the way around. Well
Speaker 1: that's dope. I mean, you say it's kind of a
Speaker 1: real and and kind of like a dream. But how
Speaker 1: did we get here? How do we get from a
Speaker 1: YouTube sensation to someone who is in this boxing space
Speaker 1: now and and and taking it as serious as you
Speaker 1: have you know, roll. It might sound cheesy, but the
Speaker 1: reason I got here just rolling with the punches, you know.
Speaker 1: I Uh, I've done that my whole entire career. I
Speaker 1: started off on Vine and then you know, Vine vanished
Speaker 1: and and you know the app was deleted. So I
Speaker 1: had to you know, reinvent myself, move over to Facebook, Instagram,
Speaker 1: started doing YouTube. Then I got on Disney Channel. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a CEO, entrepreneur, businessman. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: so I've always just gone and adapted and been like
Speaker 1: a chameleon in this space. And when I finally found boxing,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is truly something that I
Speaker 1: love and that I'm passionate about. And it takes me
Speaker 1: back through my roots of being a kid, uh and
Speaker 1: wanting to go to the NFL playing sports all the time.
Speaker 1: That was really all there was to do in Ohio. Um,
Speaker 1: and so it was really a perfect calling, and um
Speaker 1: I found my lane and Man, once I got my
Speaker 1: first knockout in my first pro fight, I was just
Speaker 1: addicted to the feeling of it. I caught the boxing
Speaker 1: bug and the rest is really history. Man. I pretty
Speaker 1: much just talk shit and have a lot of loud mouth.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm arrogant at times and controversial and
Speaker 1: polarizing at times. But I think that just adds to,
Speaker 1: you know, the whole narrative here some people wanting to
Speaker 1: see me get knocked out. Um, and so this has
Speaker 1: just been a wild roller coaster and I didn't even
Speaker 1: expect it to get this big this fast. Now they
Speaker 1: ain't number one with believe it in yourself. Bro, are
Speaker 1: you seeing to Woolley face to face a couple of times?
Speaker 1: What do you see in him? And what are you
Speaker 1: taking this fight so series? Like you sound like it's
Speaker 1: different than you have to fight. What did you see
Speaker 1: in him when you've seen them face to face? You know,
Speaker 1: just experience, Like I think with my other opponents, I
Speaker 1: was able to get in their head, break them down
Speaker 1: mentally before we even got into the ring. But Tyrant's
Speaker 1: done done this. Dozens and dozens of times more times
Speaker 1: than me. So he's seen it all, been there multiple times,
Speaker 1: has been on the big stage, done the big press conferences,
Speaker 1: and so I see how experienced he is. And he's
Speaker 1: been fighting for way longer than me. He was winning
Speaker 1: UFC championships when I was, you know, doing the Disney Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm Jake Paul. You're watching Disney channels. So I just
Speaker 1: know that experience in this sport is one of the
Speaker 1: most important things, if not the most important things. Um
Speaker 1: So I'm just not messing around. Um I compare. I
Speaker 1: mean there's been a lot of back and forth between
Speaker 1: Hugh and him. Uh, ship talking. I kind of compare
Speaker 1: you for your genre, Like you've mastered the ship talking game.
Speaker 1: Like I compare you to fifty cent when it comes
Speaker 1: to you, like doing the antics. You need to keep
Speaker 1: the crowd going, to keep the buzz going, to keep
Speaker 1: just the energy going. Where did you get that from?
Speaker 1: You know? I've always sort of been like the class clown,
Speaker 1: you know, the one who is cracking jokes in school. Uh,
Speaker 1: and genuinely just like to have fun. I think people
Speaker 1: take life too seriously. I like to make fun of myself.
Speaker 1: My friends make fun of me. I make fun of them. Uh.
Speaker 1: And so that just really has carried over into the
Speaker 1: fight game and trolling and using the internet making memes. Uh.
Speaker 1: And that that's really where it stems from. And genuinely,
Speaker 1: I just like enjoy it. Sometimes I'll be post seen
Speaker 1: stories or tweets and I'm just sitting there laughing because
Speaker 1: I think it's hilarious, and like, I don't really even
Speaker 1: care if anyone else thinks's hilarious. I'm really just doing
Speaker 1: it because I think it's funny. When you think about
Speaker 1: your journey, and we'll get into your your your upbringing
Speaker 1: a little bit. When you think about where your journey,
Speaker 1: where you started and you said the vines and the
Speaker 1: Facebook's I G. S. Disney to where you're at now
Speaker 1: and the fucking boatloads of money you're making, did you like,
Speaker 1: what what do you think about just that your whole journey,
Speaker 1: Like you're kind of a blueprint for this next generation,
Speaker 1: like going out really going out there and getting your
Speaker 1: own based off this social media life. Did you ever
Speaker 1: think it would be this big? I really didn't. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, It's it's crazy how far I've come from
Speaker 1: where I've started. And I try to think about that
Speaker 1: all the time I reflect and I'm just like, wow,
Speaker 1: this is this is crazy. The the younger version of
Speaker 1: you would be so so proud and yeah, like you said,
Speaker 1: I'm just figuring it out as I go, because I
Speaker 1: think this new generation of kids, this new generation of
Speaker 1: celebrities that have sort of been coined influencers, there's really
Speaker 1: no blueprint. No one's you know, paved the way. But
Speaker 1: I think what this new generation is showing is, you know,
Speaker 1: you can blend in in many different areas. You can
Speaker 1: be a chameleon chameleon, you can you know, go and
Speaker 1: make music, you can go do YouTube videos, you can
Speaker 1: do TikTok's, you can fight if you want to. I
Speaker 1: think entertainment now has evolved into one category and people.
Speaker 1: I think moving forward, we'll see that that's how that's
Speaker 1: how you sort of rise to the top. Is doing
Speaker 1: it all? I guess that. And and if you look
Speaker 1: at the people who are the biggest in the world,
Speaker 1: it's like the Rock right, like he came from fighting
Speaker 1: in w w E and playing sports to then acting
Speaker 1: to now using Instagram content. Uh so, you know, just
Speaker 1: playing the game differently is how you win in today's world.
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about your your upbringing. Um,
Speaker 1: obviously we all know Logan is or any other family
Speaker 1: members and what would your childhood like. Um, it's just us, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, just Logan and I and um, you know,
Speaker 1: I grew up in a blue collar family. My parents
Speaker 1: got divorced at a young age, and um, I was
Speaker 1: always like hopping back and forth from from each house
Speaker 1: and my mom. At my mom's house, we got to
Speaker 1: like have fun and you know, hang out with our
Speaker 1: friends and get into a little bit of trouble. And
Speaker 1: then I would go to my dad's house and it
Speaker 1: was like work work, work, work, work, Um. You know,
Speaker 1: we would landscape and clean out gutters, snow blow houses, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, clean out hoarders houses. Just my dad was
Speaker 1: doing anything he could find a job, and um, and
Speaker 1: we we would always help him out and just played sports.
Speaker 1: Rode my bike around around the town. And this was
Speaker 1: before you know cell phones and uh and TikTok and
Speaker 1: stuff where you could still go. You had to go
Speaker 1: knock on the on your neighbor's door to see if
Speaker 1: you wanted to play. And we were dig tong ditch um.
Speaker 1: But you know, small town and um, you know I
Speaker 1: never really like school or anything like that. I just
Speaker 1: knew there was something out there more for me, and
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a business person or something along
Speaker 1: those lines. But there was really no no, no one
Speaker 1: from my town that I could like look up to,
Speaker 1: you know, figure it all out. Um. But that's really it.
Speaker 1: You have definitely made your path. And it sounds like
Speaker 1: your your dad was a really hard work or two.
Speaker 1: What has it been like for you and your brother
Speaker 1: to be able to now you've made it? You know,
Speaker 1: you're at You're at the top of the top, You're
Speaker 1: at the top of the food chain, you're making great money.
Speaker 1: What does it like to be able to take care
Speaker 1: of your parents? Um, you know, after all the sacrifice
Speaker 1: they made for you guys as children. Honestly, it's it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's amazing, you know. And and that's what I wanted
Speaker 1: to work for and towards, is to just provide a
Speaker 1: better situation for my family, um, for my dad, for
Speaker 1: my mom, and and to to not have money be
Speaker 1: an issue. And I think, you know, we grew up
Speaker 1: working so hard, um for you know, ten fifteen dollars
Speaker 1: an hour, and now you know the opportunities we have,
Speaker 1: we still just want to work even harder because we
Speaker 1: worked this hard when when all that money wasn't there.
Speaker 1: And so you know, now I can set up I'm
Speaker 1: in a position to set up my kids, you know,
Speaker 1: or my kids kids one day to just everyone can
Speaker 1: can be okay, and just providing that different lifestyle. So
Speaker 1: it's a it's a blessing. And um, you know, at first,
Speaker 1: when you start to make money as a twenty year
Speaker 1: old or whatever, you you know, you want to buy
Speaker 1: the watches and get the cars and like flex and everyone.
Speaker 1: And then you sort of get past that phase and
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, like I'm doing this for a different reason. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what's up. You've definitely created joan path and being
Speaker 1: able to create generational wealth within that. So after that
Speaker 1: initial let me flex, then it's like, Okay, how do
Speaker 1: I plan for my life? And it's dope that at
Speaker 1: your age, you're you're understanding that already. You mentioned obviously
Speaker 1: training camp in Puerto Rico with how to ship out there,
Speaker 1: it has you locked in. Um, who are some of
Speaker 1: your training and sparring partners that that that that you've
Speaker 1: been messing around with out there? Any big notable names? Um, yes,
Speaker 1: some some really good guys. Uh So j Leen Love
Speaker 1: who um has has always been a tot boxing prospect. UM.
Speaker 1: And then one of my sparring partners, Anthony Taylor, who's
Speaker 1: from Bellator. Uh. You know, he fights a lot like
Speaker 1: Tyrant and he actually now just got added to the
Speaker 1: undercard UM fighting Tommy Fury, which is a sick, sick announcement.
Speaker 1: I'm stoked for that, um and you know, stoke for
Speaker 1: Tommy to come over to the to the U S.
Speaker 1: And it's gonna it's gonna be a tough fight. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be easy. Anthony's a really good sparring partner.
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's awkward. He he throws punches differently
Speaker 1: like like an m M a fighter. UM. And then
Speaker 1: I've been sparring with Derek Finley out here as well,
Speaker 1: and then some of some of the top guys uh
Speaker 1: in in Puerto Rico. Uh So we're having, you know,
Speaker 1: the best camp I've ever had and only getting better
Speaker 1: and better every single day. You say, all your camps,
Speaker 1: you train this hard for every fight, you know, regardless
Speaker 1: of you for it. Little weekend has been whether you'reknocked
Speaker 1: him out. But uh, you say you change, you train
Speaker 1: all these fights the same. Is there any difference fight
Speaker 1: when you you know, because it sounds like you're taking
Speaker 1: Willie more serious, But are you doing anything like different
Speaker 1: for this fight? You know, we're just all getting better
Speaker 1: as a team, uh, and understanding each other, from the
Speaker 1: head coaches to the strengthen conditioning coaches to you know,
Speaker 1: my recovery my recovery coach who helps me on the
Speaker 1: healing side of things. We're all just getting better and
Speaker 1: understanding how we operate. So this camps is a lot
Speaker 1: more smooth, and this is really like my job now.
Speaker 1: You know, the first couple of the first couple of
Speaker 1: times I was doing this, it was like, oh, sick,
Speaker 1: we gotta fight, you know, let's get ready and we
Speaker 1: would just make it happen. But it's been back to
Speaker 1: back to back training camps NonStop, so it sort of
Speaker 1: just feels very natural. And I don't even remember what
Speaker 1: my life was like before all these boxing training camps.
Speaker 1: Any any boxes you love, any boxes you love watching
Speaker 1: growing up? You know Oscar de la Joya, you know,
Speaker 1: I've I've been a huge fan of um and then
Speaker 1: the Klitschko brothers were just always super, super exciting. I
Speaker 1: like their style, like how hard they fight. Um, So
Speaker 1: we study a lot of their film and I try
Speaker 1: to try to fight like them. I saw it. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure it was you. You mentioned something about obviously
Speaker 1: your goal in here is to help fighters get paid more, um,
Speaker 1: whether it be FC or boxing, And I think that
Speaker 1: kind of attention you bring to the sport is only
Speaker 1: going to help us speak to that because, like I said,
Speaker 1: I think people want to pin you as a bad
Speaker 1: guy and this, this and that. But when I heard
Speaker 1: you say that, that was some real ship because particularly
Speaker 1: you have ce these guys get funcked out of money
Speaker 1: left and right. The lower end boxers don't really get
Speaker 1: you know, most of these guys have to have second jobs.
Speaker 1: So let me know your thought process when you spoke
Speaker 1: to that, and hopefully you know you helping fighters get
Speaker 1: paid more. Yeah, so I think it comes from me
Speaker 1: seeing how hard this sport is. Right. I played football,
Speaker 1: I wrestled, I you know, have been an actor, been
Speaker 1: a CEO of founding you know, multimillion dollar companies, and
Speaker 1: there's nothing harder than boxing and fighting just in general.
Speaker 1: And I see how much sacrifice you have to make
Speaker 1: and you're literally in there, you know, taking shots to
Speaker 1: the head. And I think fighters are just generally underpaid,
Speaker 1: and I think that's for a lot of reasons. But
Speaker 1: I just want to help fix that problem, and I
Speaker 1: think we attack that multiple ways. I think, first and foremost,
Speaker 1: we need the sports to become more popular and more fans,
Speaker 1: more audience, which will naturally just put more revenue across
Speaker 1: the board. And I think also just voicing it because
Speaker 1: a lot of these young fighters get get sucked in
Speaker 1: by promoters to long fight contracts and then they become
Speaker 1: a star, and then their promoters just taking all their money,
Speaker 1: or in the case of the UFC, it's really a
Speaker 1: monopoly where Dana White controls these these guys careers and
Speaker 1: can make whatever fights happen, pay whoever he wants, whatever
Speaker 1: they want, or pay them nothing um and and so
Speaker 1: it just it just very very unfair. And what's crazy
Speaker 1: about it is, you know, the UFC only the fighters
Speaker 1: only get paid ten percent of the total amount of
Speaker 1: the money that's earned, whereas in the NBA it's fifty,
Speaker 1: the NFL it's And meanwhile you have Dana White, you know,
Speaker 1: going on Twitter talking about how he has spent seven
Speaker 1: million dollars on a blackjack hand and lost it or whatever. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: his fighters are starting to go go fund b pages.
Speaker 1: And not only that, it's like, if you're in the
Speaker 1: NBA and NFL, you know you have team facilities, you
Speaker 1: have team coaches, you know, you get help on the
Speaker 1: recovery side of things, you have the you know, you
Speaker 1: get flown places. Uh, you know all of that is covered.
Speaker 1: As a fighter, you have to cover all your own expenses.
Speaker 1: And I know how crazy it is. From the meals
Speaker 1: to the gym's, to the coaches, to your strength and conditioning,
Speaker 1: to your recovery team. It's expensive to be a fighter.
Speaker 1: And so that's another thing that people don't even take
Speaker 1: into account really. Um So I'm just like, damn, we
Speaker 1: need to change this. And you know, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do it by myself. But
Speaker 1: I think just continuing to talk about it and getting
Speaker 1: other fighters on board to talk about it is is
Speaker 1: how we do this. It might take five years, ten years,
Speaker 1: but let's do it, right. I think it's important to
Speaker 1: spark their conversation. Um, talk to us about your new
Speaker 1: uh your initiative boxing bullies. Yeah. Yeah, So super excited. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I just launched my foundation, which has been
Speaker 1: a dream of mine since I was a kid, Like,
Speaker 1: always volunteering, always helping out wherever I could, always giving back.
Speaker 1: That's what my parents taught me since since a young age,
Speaker 1: and I dreamt of one day being able to do
Speaker 1: that on a on a massive level. And finally, after
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of hard work and building out
Speaker 1: a team, UM, we launch Boxing Bullies. And the goal
Speaker 1: of is is pretty simple. It's, um, you know, let's
Speaker 1: get boxing gloves and the sport of boxing in two
Speaker 1: and out to as many kids as possible in the world.
Speaker 1: Because boxing, you know, gave me purpose, It gave me
Speaker 1: something to fight for, and it kept me out of
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble, honestly, and I want to be
Speaker 1: able to share that with kids as well as teaching
Speaker 1: them how being a bully is not cool, because I
Speaker 1: I used to be a bully and then I changed.
Speaker 1: I realized it wasn't cool. And then going through my career,
Speaker 1: I've been like attacked on the Internet and you know,
Speaker 1: those types of remarks, comments, all of that stuff lasts
Speaker 1: with you forever. And so I think cyber bullying and
Speaker 1: bullying is just a massive problem in this generation, and
Speaker 1: I just wanted to voice up, raise awareness for it
Speaker 1: and you know, show kids that's not cool, and that's
Speaker 1: really our our initiative. And um, the first event went
Speaker 1: went super well, and it just inspired me to you know,
Speaker 1: keep on going, keep on killing it with this foundation,
Speaker 1: and I want boxing bullies to be massive one day
Speaker 1: and really really make a change. Um. So it's something
Speaker 1: I'm very passionate about. Yeah, because hal, because half the
Speaker 1: people that talk trash wouldn't say it and you face anyway,
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you for starting that as well. Um,
Speaker 1: the problem Child? How did you get that nickname? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So you know, just growing up, I I was sort
Speaker 1: of the problem child. My brother was like the goody
Speaker 1: two shoe and never really got in any any trouble,
Speaker 1: and you know I was sort of, um, you know,
Speaker 1: using my all this energy that I had for the
Speaker 1: for the wrong reasons, getting in trouble, not paying attention
Speaker 1: in class, and you know at first I was you know,
Speaker 1: people wanted to hate on me for that, and like
Speaker 1: my teachers would get me in trouble, and you know
Speaker 1: other kids in school would hate on me for for that.
Speaker 1: And once I finally embraced who I was and didn't
Speaker 1: really care about what other people thought, I felt very
Speaker 1: free and I was like, this is who I am,
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm sorry, like I'm different, and I'm the
Speaker 1: problem child. And that's that's really where where it all started.
Speaker 1: And then growing up I sort of tried to leave
Speaker 1: that that part of me behind. But when the boxing
Speaker 1: gloves come on, and you know, the lights are on
Speaker 1: and the press people are watching and the press conferences,
Speaker 1: that side of me is what is what comes out
Speaker 1: that ship talking like a little arrogant, little crazy um
Speaker 1: because you have to be to get in that ring
Speaker 1: and put your life on the line. And so the
Speaker 1: problem child is really who I am when when the
Speaker 1: gloves are on and and we're talking about boxing, and
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just a problem for for people in
Speaker 1: the in the ring, and I I carry that energy
Speaker 1: into sparring in every single day against my sparing partners,
Speaker 1: like I'm here to beat your ass, like I'm not,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing her. Huh m hm. The tattoo bet
Speaker 1: you did a Twitter pool and asked your fans where
Speaker 1: t would if if you beat him, should put the tattoo,
Speaker 1: and they said his face that we speaking obviously you
Speaker 1: you know your mindset is you're gonna win. But if
Speaker 1: you happen not to, where would you put the tattoo
Speaker 1: on your body? Not even a possibility that I'm not
Speaker 1: even thinking about that ship. It's like asking me like, yo,
Speaker 1: like after you walk on water, like what are you
Speaker 1: gonna do next? Just not having it. I can't walk
Speaker 1: on water. I can't lose that answers that question. Do
Speaker 1: you do you remember your first tattoo? Yeah? I actually, um,
Speaker 1: it's all right here you can see it, but it
Speaker 1: says adventure. I got it there because as my parents
Speaker 1: always told me not to get tattoos, and so my
Speaker 1: first one I got because you can't see it there. Yeah,
