Did Jake Paul retire from boxing? Mysterious tweet leaves fans panicked YouTube: SHOWTIME SportsYouTube star-turned-pro boxer Jake Paul has left fans in a frenzy after suddenly claiming that he\u2019s retired from the sport following his split-decision victory over Tyron Woodley. It hasn\u2019t even been 24 hours past his last fight, and Jake Paul has claimed he\u2019s retiring from the sport of boxing. Jake Paul, 24, first nabbed his claim to fame as an influencer. Transitioning from Vine to YouTube along with his older bro, Logan Paul, Jake racked up an impressive 20 million subscribers. But that wasn\u2019t enough for the online entertainer. When Logan struck up a beef with KSI in 2018, Jake Paul made sure he was on the fight\u2019s undercard, where he took down fellow YouTuber Deji.

His latest bout was his most challenging, taking on five-time former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley in Cleveland, Ohio. Unlike his seemingly easy victories over former NBA pro Nate Robinson, YouTuber AnEsonGib and former Olympic mixed martial artist Ben Askren, Jake Paul took Tyron Woodley through all eight rounds to win their bout by split-decision \u2014 an outcome he called \u201cbulls**t.\u201d While Jake Paul has a slew of other potential opponents lined up already, the YouTuber shocked the world with a tweet the very next day that read: \u201cUpdated status: Retired boxer.\u201d Needless to say, his fans are equal parts confused and saddened, while haters are hopeful. However, this could all be a huge prank, which wouldn\u2019t be out of the ordinary for the self-proclaimed \u201cProblem Child\u201d of influencer boxing. In a previous tweet, Paul had claimed that he was satisfied enough to retire, as Dwayne \u2018The Rock\u2019 Johnson had posted him on his Instagram feed. The post in question shows The Rock chilling out for the evening while watching Paul vs Woodley on the TV and indulging in a well-deserved drink.
