Jake Paul’s rise in the boxing world is showing no signs of slowing down, and now the 27-year-old has another milestone to add to his growing list of achievements: he’s becoming a playable character in the highly anticipated Undisputed Boxing video game!
In an exciting announcement on Thursday, December 5, the game’s developers revealed that Paul will be featured as part of The Problem DLC Pack, set to drop on December 12. Alongside Paul, other boxing legends such as James “Buster” Douglas, Otto Wallin, and Marco Barrera will also be added to the game’s roster.
While the in-game version of Paul sports a slightly darker beard than his real-life look, fans can expect the developers to have captured his likeness and personality perfectly. Whether you want to play as the controversial boxer or take a shot at taking him down, Paul is joining an already impressive lineup of fighters, including Tyson Fury, Terence Crawford, Katie Taylor, and Canelo Alvarez.
Though not everyone is thrilled by Paul’s inclusion, his influence on the sport of boxing is undeniable. His recent fight against the legendary Mike Tyson attracted an estimated 108 million viewers on Netflix, while the event set a new record for the biggest gate ever for a boxing or MMA event in U.S. history, with $18.1 million raised at AT&T Stadium.
