It is fair to say that Jake Paul has improved enormously since the start of his boxing trip and he is starting to get recognition for that.
Last Saturday, Jake Paul returned to the boxing ring for the first time since his controversial victory over Mike Tyson last November and took on the former WBC Middleweight World Champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
'The Problem Child' continued to distribute the boxing fan base again when he sailed to a dominant unanimous decision victory on the Mexican hunter.
And after the fight, the 28-year-old came a step closer to achieving his ultimate goal in sport, because he is now in the WBA world ranking list.

Eddie Hearn Credits Jake Paul for 'significantly improving'
During his short term as a professional, Paul continued to receive criticism for picking cherries who are opponents who are smaller than he, together with many other things.
And during that time one of his greatest critics was the boxing promoter of Matchrome, Eddie Hearn. Paul and Hearn have worked together several times and a number of huge fights co-promotes.
Nevertheless, Hearn has consistently claimed that Paul has 'no respect for boxing' because of the hunters he chooses to fight.
In a dramatic turn of events, which responded last Saturday to Paul's victory over Chavez Jr, Hearn gave the 28-year-old somewhat extremely rare praise.
“I think you should start, and it's hard to say, just give Jake a little credit,” Hearn told the pounding soil.
“He did 10 rounds and look, Chavez is, I don't want to be critical about Chavez because I like him, but he was ready 10 years ago, but he was once a decent hunter and he had a good training camp and he came in that was completely prepared.
“I think Jake's boxing has improved considerably, I think he can hit, I think he has a decent chin and he puts the work in it. So if he is top 15 in the world, don't be ridiculous, but he has improved, absolutely … I would say that Jake Top 100 is continued in the cruiserweight,” went. “
Hearn hits the idea of Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua
After his fight, Paul shouted various world champions, including Zurdo Ramirez, Badou Jack and Anthony Joshua.
Despite the fact that he was rejected with Ramirez after the event, Hearn claimed that Paul Ramirez would not beat if he had 1000 attempts, and went against Paul VS Joshua's idea, but admitted that he and his team will consider the idea of the fight.
