Jake Paul Officially Added To The UNDISPUTED Roster

‘Rule the ring. Boxing is back for video gamers. With innovative, authentic gameplay and an incredible roster UNDISPUTED is out now for PS5, XBOX X|S and PC’

Jake Paul has officially been added as a playable character in the popular boxing video game Undisputed, headlining its new DLC titled “The Problem Child Pack.”

Known for his dramatic rise in the world of influencer boxing, Paul brings his flamboyant personality and distinctive style to the game, which aims to provide a realistic boxing experience. Steel City Interactive, the game’s developer, has fully digitised Paul, capturing his signature moves and attitude for players to experience virtually​.

Paul initially gained popularity on the video-sharing app Vine, where he posted comedy and prank videos alongside his brother Logan Paul. Following Vine’s closure, he transitioned to YouTube in 2013, creating a channel focused on vlogs, pranks, challenges, and music. Jake Paul first stepped into the boxing world in 2018, transitioning from his YouTube fame into a controversial but undeniably influential boxing career.

Known originally as “The Problem Child,” he has built a record by defeating former fighters such as Nate Robinson, Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva and his first and only professional loss vs Tommy Fury. Most recently, Paul scored a unanimous decision victory over 58-year-old boxing legend Mike Tyson, showcasing his ability to handle high-profile fights while generating significant media attention​.

Despite his successes, Paul has faced criticism for his choice of opponents, often accused of avoiding fighters closer to his age and experience level. His recent bout with Tyson, while financially lucrative and attention-grabbing, continued this trend and left fans and critics divided over the legitimacy of his boxing pursuits.

As Paul continues to blur the lines between influencer entertainment and professional sports, his inclusion in Undisputed can not be understated. Undisputed has already seen praised for bringing a “new generation” of fans into the sport, those that have grown up with influencers such as Paul and KSI stepping into the professional ring. However, Paul’s next steps in real life remain uncertain, as he has yet to confirm who he will face next in the ring​.

With his addition to Undisputed, Jake Paul cements his place not only in modern boxing culture but also in the digital arena, sparking both excitement and debate among fans and players alike.
