Jake Paul set to make OTT debut with Netflix series 'Untold': 'My story has never been told'
CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA: A new episode of Netflix's 'Untold' series will soon be available, featuring Jake Paul, a former boxer turned YouTuber. When he defeated fellow online celebrity AnEsonGib in 2019, the 26-year-old made his professional boxing debut.
Ben Askren and Anderson Silva, two well-known fighters, were among his opponents in two of his subsequent battles, which he won all five of. The brother of boxing legend Tyson, Tommy Fury, though, defeated Paul in February, handing him his first loss.
'My life has been on display since I was 16'
The Youtuber's fame in the sport has rapidly expanded since his social media ascent. Fans will soon be able to see Paul's journey on Netflix as part of a docuseries. He tweeted, “My life has been on display since I was 16 but my story has never been told. #UntoldNetflix August 1st.”

The 'Untold' Netflix television series, which premiered in 2021, tells lesser-known sports-related tales. The life and Olympic career of Caitlyn Jenner were covered in one of the episodes of the first series.
Paul vs Diaz
On August 1, Paul's episode—the first of the third volume—will debut, only four days before he competes in the ring against UFC star Nate Diaz. His professional boxing record as of this point is 6-1, and this will be his eighth bout. Paul is aiming to recover from his loss to Fury, whom he chose not to rematch in favor of a different foe.
Given his reputation as one of MMA's finest boxers, Diaz will by no means pose as an easy opponent. Paul's narrative is currently on its way to the streaming giants, and the confrontation will happen in less than two months.
