"I want to bring boxing back to the forefront" - Jake Paul tries to endear himself to combat sports fans in recent tweet

Over the last few months, Jake Paul has undeniably become one of the most talked-about names in the world of combat sports.

In a recent tweet, Jake Paul tried to remind his followers why he is in the sport and sent a message to his critics. Boxing trainer Stephen Edwards tweeted an anecdote, sharing how a friend's son walked up to him and asked if he worked with Jake Paul:

"So I'm at the airport. A highschool friend of mine walks up to me to say hello. She tells her son I train professional boxers. The kid gets shy and whispers ,"Mom ask him does he know Jake Paul." No Pac or Floyd. But Jake Paul," Stephen Edwards tweeted.

Sharing the same, Jake Paul reiterated how his true intentions are to bring glory back to boxing and lift the sport and those associated with it, contrary to what his haters might say:

"This what I do it for. I want to bring boxing back to the forefront of sports like it deserves to be. You can keep hating on me, but I promise I’m trying to lift the sport we all love. Please if you see that kid again, tell him I appreciate his support," Jake Paul said.

His participation in the sport of boxing is still a matter of debate for many, as the discussion continues about whether the likes of Logan and Jake Paul are muddying the waters. However, the fact that they have certainly brought a lot more attention and money to the sport cannot be denied or discredited.
