Jake Paul is best known for his fame on the internet when he first started his career as a Youtuber, a rapper, and as an actor. However, he along with his brother [Logan Paul] are now looking to make the transition from internet celebrities to professional boxers. Jake is coming off from a battle with Nate Robinson this past November 28th.
One can make the argument that Jake is a better boxer than Logan as Jake’s boxing record stands at 3-0 while Logan’s record stands at 0-1-1. Logan only has two fights under his belt, the first one being an amateur fight that ended in a split decision against KSI. In their second fight, Logan lost to him by decision.
For Jake, on the contrary, his first match was an amateur fight against Deji, KSI’s brother. On August 25th, 2018 Jake won the fight by TKO in the fifth round. Jake’s next fight was against AnEsonGib on January 30th, 2020. That was his first pro fight as he beat AnEsonGib by TKO in 2 minutes and 18 seconds of the first round.
Lukis Mac, who helps Jake with his breathwork mindset development practices and co-founder of Owaken Breathwork, was reached for the following Q&A session. Mac says Owaken Breathwork “helps people to release suppressed emotions and trauma, connect deeply to their own inner guidance” as well as “support high performing athletes and creatives to improve their recovery and access more creativity and intuition.”

He has a big heart and lifts up and supports everyone in his team. He is deeply committed to pushing his own limits and developing himself as an entrepreneur and athlete which is continually inspiring to be around.”

Mac: “Yes I will be supporting him everyday to crush his goals.”

Mac: “I’ve been traveling the world helping people for the last 3 years with this work.”
VF: And who are some of the people you have worked with over the years?
Mac: “I work with everyone in the Team 10 House as well as many other content creators, artists and influencers around the world. I just recently shared Owaken Breathwork with Travis Barker, which was very special because he had a huge positive influence on me when I was growing up. Owaken Breathwork has changed my life so it’s a blessing to be sharing this work and helping people.”
