Jake Paul launches anti-cyberbullying charity \u201cBoxing Bullies\u201d YouTube: Jake PaulYouTube star-turned-boxing pro Jake Paul is hitting back at cyberbullies with the launch of his new charity, \u201cBoxing Bullies,\u201d ahead of his upcoming bout against MMA champ Tyron Woodley. Jake Paul is the self-described \u201cProblem Child\u201d of the social media world. After founding Team 10 and having a stint on the Disney Channel, the over-the-top YouTuber has now focused all his energy on the sport of boxing. After defeating fellow influencer Deji Olatunji in 2018, Jake went on to go pro, taking out YouTuber AnEsonGib, former NBA pro Nate Robinson and even Olympic MMA fighter Ben Askren. Now, Paul is gearing up to face off with five-time UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley \u2014 but he\u2019s doing more than sweating it up in training camp. View this post on Instagram During an interview after his press conference with Woodley on July 13, Paul revealed that he would be launching his very own charity called \u201cBoxing Bullies,\u201d with the aim of combating cyberbullying. \u201cI\u2019m starting my charity, launching that in 12 days here, called \u2018Boxing Bullies,’\u201d he stated. \u201cWe\u2019re helping to fight against cyberbullying. I\u2019m just doing me, and I guess the cameras are filming.\u201d On July 20, an Instagram page dedicated to the Boxing Bullies charity sprang up online, introducing the project\u2019s key members and naming Jake Paul as the group\u2019s founder. \u201cThe mission of Boxing Bullies is to instill self-confidence, leadership, and courage within the youth through the sport of boxing, while using our platform, voice, and social media to fight back against bullying,\u201d the charity\u2019s mission statement reads. That\u2019s not all; the org also aims to \u201cprovide kids with hands-on, professional boxing lessons with top-notch staff and facilities.\u201d View this post on Instagram This isn\u2019t the first time Paul has engaged in charitable acts under the guise of combat sports; in June, the YouTuber helped pay for UFC Flyweight rookie Sarah \u2018Too Sweet\u2019 Alpar\u2019s costs to attend and compete in her bout against Erin Blanchfield. While Paul\u2019s charity has yet to officially kick-off, fans and critics alike are curious to see where this new venture will lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
