Jake Paul eyes Forbes' list of highest-paid boxer after making $100m… and admits he ENJOYS fans wanting him to be KO'd

JAKE PAUL has no hesitation in admitting he ENJOYS fans wanting him to be knocked out. After all, that is what has made him $100MILLION (£73m) in the ring - closing in on becoming the highest-paid boxer on Forbes' list. 5 5 5 5 The YouTuber-turned prizefighter gave up on trying to be liked the moment he first laced up the gloves - and has profited from being boxing's bad guy. Paul told SunSport: "I don't think they'll ever show me love, to be honest. To conduct the orchestra, you must turn your back on the audience. "So I know what I'm doing, I'm just playing a game. People want to tune in to see me lose or the doubters, all of this stuff. "But, at the end of the day, there's just as much love that, and that's what I focus on." Paul this year ranked third in Forbes' list of highest-earning content creators. He banked $50m (£36m) with $40m (£30m) of that made in his last fight against Mike Tyson - who controversially made a comeback aged 58. Paul also earned $30m (£20m) in defeat to Tommy Fury in 2023 - his first and so far only loss a boxer. And after earning $30m (£20m) for his three fights in 2021 alone - the former prankster-gone-prizefighter has cleared over $100m as a boxer. Jake Paul vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr JAKE PAUL'S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California. Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion. The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul - bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

Paul boasted: "I think it could happen for sure. I definitely think it can happen in the next 12-24 months. "It would be a cool thing to check off in a great accomplishment, so we'll see what happens." Paul, 28, returns to the ring TONIGHT against former middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, back down at cruiserweight. A shock ranking to fight for the WBC world title could be at stake for Paul - while he is always a loss away from his career being derailed. And it is that threat of being knocked out, embarrassed and proven wrong that motivates him to succeed. Paul said: "I think definitely I use a bit of like fear and what people say as motivation, inspiration. "But mostly I try to focus on the love and proving myself right and challenging myself at this point. "I've already exceeded my expectations of what I was going to do in this sport and so everything else here is is a win, right? "Like, I've built my whole entire dream life, businesses, companies, so really I'm just playing with house money now." 5

YouTube's mobile video editor is coming to iOS

Google is preparing to bring YouTube Create to iOS devices nearly two years after the video editing app launched exclusively on Android. Job listings reviewed by TechCrunch reveal the company is actively hiring engineers in India for the iOS development project. The job postings show Google is recruiting software engineers in Bengaluru specifically to build the iOS version. The original Android app debuted in the U.S. and seven other markets in September 2023, then expanded to 13 more markets by February 2024. YouTube Create provides free mobile video editing tools designed for content creators, offering features like stickers, GIFs, and effects for both YouTube Shorts and longer-form videos. Google developed the app after consulting with 3,000 creators to ensure it met their needs. The app is Google's attempt to compete with ByteDance's popular CapCut editor. But exclusive Sensor Tower data shared with TechCrunch shows YouTube Create is quite far behind CapCut and another established competitor, InShot. The competition isn't even close. In the second quarter of this year, CapCut and InShot have been downloaded 66 million and 21 million times, respectively, on Android devices. In contrast, YouTube Create has seen fewer than 500,000 downloads this quarter, and just 4 million downloads since its launch. The user engagement gap is even more pronounced. CapCut boasts more than 442 million monthly active users on Android app in Q2, while InShot claims 92 million. YouTube Create lags far behind with fewer than one million monthly active users. On iOS — the platform YouTube Create is now targeting — the competition is just as fierce. CapCut leads with 194 million monthly active users in Q2, followed by InShot with 25 million. Meanwhile, CapCut and Instagram's Edit have dominated iOS downloads this quarter, with 28 million and 7 million downloads, respectively. Despite lagging in the numbers, YouTube Create shows some momentum, with a 28% year-over-year increase in monthly active users in Q2, outpacing a 9% rise for CapCut and a 7% decline for InShot, per the Sensor Tower data. 'While boasting solid user growth on a year-over-year basis, YouTube Create has struggled to keep up with some of its larger, more established peers such as CapCut, with the latter having more than 10x the number of monthly active users,' said Abe Yousef, a senior insights analyst at Sensor Tower. YouTube Create may be building a more loyal user base, Yousef suggested. Rising active user numbers alongside declining downloads could indicate that people who previously tried the app are returning to use it regularly. 'CapCut coming out many years ago, coupled with the fact that it's seamlessly integrated with its sister app, TikTok, likely plays into this material size difference with YouTube Create,' said Yousef. Still, YouTube Create is facing some retention issues. Its 90-day retention rate — the percentage of users who downloaded the app and still use it 90 days later — was roughly 1% in Q1, far below CapCut's 7% and InShot's 4%. Engagement metrics highlight the gap, too. Users spend an average of 38 minutes per month on YouTube Create, compared to 62 minutes for CapCut users. CapCut users also open the app more often, averaging 23 sessions monthly versus 11 for YouTube Create. Geographically, YouTube Create's user base is diversifying. India represented 67% of total monthly active users on YouTube Create in the second quarter of last year, but that share has dropped to 51% this quarter as the app gains traction elsewhere. Still, YouTube Create appears to be gaining stickiness in India, with daily-to-monthly active user ratios improving from 9% last year to, so far, 12% this year. In addition to India, Indonesia has emerged as YouTube Create's second-largest market, representing 21% of its global monthly active users. Germany (5%), Brazil (4%), and the UK (3%) round out the top markets. The app is showing particularly strong growth in several other markets, too, with year-over-year monthly active user increases of 119% in Spain, 91% in South Korea, 89% in France, and 71% in Singapore. 'An iOS release of YouTube Create could absolutely help the platform grow its market share, though fierce competition in the space both from other social media-backed video editing platforms and native video editors will persist,' Yousef said.
