    HE’S the motormouth YouTube sensation who has carved out a lucrative career in boxing – despite starting out as a star on the Disney channel.

Reaching this point has been no easy thing for Paul, who once branded himself the “world’s most hated man” due to his controversial posts online and wild partying antics. During that time he’s weathered a number of scandals from alleged cryptocurrency scams that defrauded fans out of millions and his notorious “warzone parties” that featured bonfires as tall as houses.Those notorious moments led to him being fired from the Disney programme but his outrageous misconduct didn’t stop there.READ MORE FROM FEATURESThere have been “roadmap” scams, mystery boxes with no prizes, a Tommy Fury fight ‘script leak’, as well as an FBI raid for firearms.Paul’s controversial stunts are endless have led him to be considered the ultimate scandal magnet – and it’s unlikely to stop now as he prepares to clash with Tyson. Childhood abuseThe 27-year-old opened up in Netflix’s Untold: Jake Paul The Problem Child about alleged childhood abuse by his “intense” father, Greg, in Ohio. Jake claimed his dad would “slap the s*** out of him” and would regularly tell him as a child: “Life’s not fair, get the f*** over it.” Most read in BoxingEven in the documentary, Greg, a real estate worker, was evasive when it came to shouldering any blame.He denied physical abuse, despite facing allegations from both of his sons, insisting he only ever “threw them on the couch a couple times.”Evander Holyfield’s shocking boxing return aged 58 should act as danger warning to Mike Tyson for Jake Paul fight In one section, Greg defiantly said: “That’s what the f*** dads are supposed to do.

Paul denied the accusations, stating they were “100% false”.Shortly after, model Railey Lollie claimed Paul groped her in 2017 when she was underage and often made inappropriate remarks calling her “jailbait” during their time filming. Paul’s legal team hit back, saying Paul “has every intention of aggressively disproving it and pursuing legal action against those responsible for the defamation of his character.”‘Warzone parties’Outside Jake Paul’s Calabasas mansion where he terrorised his neighbours with wild partiesCredit: Jake Paul/YoutubeJake setting fire to a mattress at one partyCredit: SuppliedJake’s infamous antics have turned his LA neighbourhood into what locals call a “living hell.” Posting his address online led his fans dubbed “Paulers” to swarm the area, sparking noise complaints, non-stop parties, and setting furniture on fire in his pool – flames reportedly reaching the height of his home. Paul openly laughed at his neighbours’ frustrations, even taunting them with laughing emojis online. Jake Paul embraced his “world’s worst neighbour” reputation with pride. His chaotic behaviour, including wild parties and disruptive antics, eventually led to his firing from the Disney show Bizaardvark. Meanwhile, his brother, Logan, praised their devoted fans, dubbing them “the strongest army out there.”Scam sitesPaul promoted mystery boxes saying they were packed with cash when they were actually emptyHe enjoys the high life with girlfriend Jutta LeerdamCredit: @juttaleerdamPaul has amassed his $80 million (£62 million) net worth by capitalising on his controversial “problem child” persona both online and in the boxing ring. Along the way, he’s been accused of multiple schemes, including a $7 (£5.50) “roadmap” to becoming an influencer, which allegedly left teens shortchanged because they didn’t have complete access to the site.His “MysteryBrand” campaign also stirred backlash, as users reportedly won no prizes despite paying to open digital “mystery boxes.” He was also criticised for promoting gambling to kids. Most notably, Paul was named in a crypto “pump-and-dump” case that allegedly cost fans $2.2 million (£1.7 million) in losses.The rise & falls of YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul JAKE Paul is about to have the fight of his life against legendary boxer Mike Tyson.
