Jake Paul is starting to get credit from some of the best boxers in the world for his noticeable improvements in sport.
On June 28, Jake Paul returned to the boxing ring for the first time since his controversial victory over Mike Tyson, when he faces former WBC Middleweight Champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
'The Problem Child' then scored a new dominant decision gain, to the disappointment of the crowd that were present in Anaheim while they held Paul during the decision.
Although, with his victory over the Mexican, Paul earned himself a place in the top 15 Cruiserweight Rankings, which made him eligible for a world title fight.

Shakur Stevenson predicts that Paul will become a world champion
After the event, 28-year-old faced the current Cruiserweight champion Zurdo Ramirez who defended his title in the Co-Main event of Paul's Comeback card.
During his term of office in sport, Paul has constantly criticized for various reasons, one of which is how he chooses opponents who are usually much older than he is.
One of his greatest critics, Eddie Hearn,, however, actually gave him the honor for 'significantly improving', and changed his attitude towards the 28-year-old somewhat.
And Hearn is not the only one who has noticed Paul's improvements, because WBC has credited Shakur Stevenson Paul champion for his improvements, which states that he believes that 'the problem child' will become a world champion.
Stevenson is still having a fight against Gervonta Davis, and that is someone who called Paul for a potential collision.
“I think that is a terrible (idea). I mean, I get it because it is a money company and you want to earn the most money, but what I hear, he could earn more money in a fight with me,” Stevenson told Ariel Helwani.
“I think Jake has actually gotten a lot better from the time frame when he started now, and in the right situation I can also see him becoming a world champion.
“He sells all these arenas, he brings all these eyes (to the sport),” Stevenson continued.
