Jake Paul buys his first private jet – thanks to pocketing £31m from Mike Tyson fight

Jake Paul has taken to social media to show off his first private jet, purchased thanks to his monster pay day from his fight with Mike Tyson.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has now had 12 professional fights, but none more high-profile than his bout against former world heavyweight champion Tyson at Texas’ AT&T Stadium late last year.

After the bout was delayed – and received criticism – due to Tyson’s health concerns, Paul dominated throughout and revealed after the bout that he opted not to knock out the veteran.

Tyson also recently revealed he thought he was going to get sued if he didn’t fight, but his boxing career now seems to have come to an end once and for all at 58 years old, despite him calling out Paul’s brother Logan inside the ring.

But he did get a pretty pay day out of it, with Paul pocketing a reported $40million, or £31m, from stepping inside the ring.

Now, he has put that money to good use as he searches for his next opponent, showing off his first private jet on social media in an Instagram post.
