“I am a seashell collector and professional boxer knocking people the fuck out.”
Netflix’s acclaimed sports documentary series Untold returns for its third season, promising an intimate portrayal of the journey taken by Jake Paul, the YouTube sensation turned professional boxer.
The upcoming episode, aptly titled “Jake Paul the Problem Child,” will delve into the remarkable transformation of the 26-year-old from a creator of viral content to a headlining attraction in packed arenas. As the story goes, Paul first gained notoriety as a mischievous teenager on Vine and later on YouTube before channeling his energy and ambition into the world of boxing.
Intriguing snippets from the trailer offer glimpses of interviews featuring the Paul brothers (including big brother Logan, who also transitioned from YouTube to boxing) and legendary boxer Mike Tyson. These interviews are poised to challenge doubters, such as UFC president Dana White.
A few gripping seconds in the trailer explore Paul’s formative years and his journey to digital stardom, portraying it as a response to the strict control imposed by their father. Reflecting on those times, he shares,
“My father’s stringent approach pushed my brother and me into a realm of boundless imagination”
Another startling revelation in the documentary is Paul’s fascination with collecting seashells—a side of him that adds depth to his multifaceted persona.
