YouTube sensation Jake Paul is no stranger to rustling a few feathers.
Over the course of his career, be it as a celebrity fighter or a Disney channel actor, the spotlight has always seemed to follow 'the Problem Child', who has in recent years turned his hand to become a professional fighter.
Earlier this month, he faced off against UFC legend Nate Diaz, dispatching the MMA star at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. And just weeks after his win over Diaz, Paul popped up ringside ahead of Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois' bout in Poland, much to the chagrin of viewers back home.
"There's Jake Paul who is ringside," said TNT Sports' Darren Fletcher as the broadcast camera panned to 'the Problem Child'. "He's spent a bit of time with Oleksandr Usyk yesterday. Fresh from his victory over Nate Diaz. Always happy to see the camera isn't he Jake."

One angry fan wrote on social media: "Why the f*** are @tntsport giving that Jake Paul t*** any airtime and why are the commentators talking about him like he's relevant as a boxer!"
Another said: "“Cruiserweight prospect” behave man." A third commented: "Cruiserweight prospect. 7-1. Fought 1 boxer and lost…" A fourth said: "Sunglasses indoors should be banned."
