Jake Paul reveals boxing plans as he hints at leaving YouTube behind Team 10 founder Jake Paul is more than a mere YouTuber: the internet star runs his own company, has dabbled in music, and even registered as a pro boxer with hopes of starting a fighting career. Following the hyped-up KSI vs Logan Paul boxing rematch, it doesn\u2019t look like Jake is setting aside his hopes for professional fighting anytime soon, as told in a cryptic post on his Instagram story. While he may have gotten his start on the platform, the youngest Paul brother hinted at moving away from YouTube after fans expressed concern for his future on the website. Although Paul has joked about \u201cnot being a YouTuber anymore\u201d before, it seems like the internet star is actually growing tired of his title, claiming that the site is no longer \u201cexciting\u201d to him. \u201c\u2026YouTube just doesn\u2019t excite me much anymore,\u201d Paul admitted in response to a fan. \u201cAt the end of the day, I\u2019m an entrepreneur when you strip everything away from the \u2018Jake Paul\u2019 brand. My mind is on other things currently.\u201d That\u2019s not all: Paul likewise revealed that he finds YouTube too \u201ccontrolling\u201d \u2013 a sentiment echoed by many other creators on the platform, especially in wake of the child-oriented FTC rulings. \u201c\u2026it\u2019s time to grow and push my mind into verticals that I haven\u2019t conquered yet, such as boxing!\u201d he continued. \u201cPlus, YouTube is becoming such a controlling and non-rewarding platform to be a part of.\u201d Although he assured fans that he would continue to create content on the website, Jake isn\u2019t the only Paul brother hinting at stepping back from his status as a YouTuber: Logan Paul expressed similar sentiments earlier this year, dubbing the title \u201cwack.\u201d \u201cBeing a YouTuber is wack,\u201d Logan wrote in an Instagram story. \u201cIt\u2019s a very limiting pigeonhole that will not provide the longevity of stardom I\u2019m looking for.\u201d With both YouTubers gunning for careers in the boxing ring and UFC octagon, it wouldn\u2019t come as a major surprise should they turn toward other prospects. But with UFC president Dana White claiming Logan would \u201cget murdered\u201d in the octagon, the jury is still out on his chances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
