In August 2025, Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, continues to dominate X (formerly Twitter) trends, with his name trending globally and in the United States. According to getdaytrends.com, Paul ranked #8 worldwide with 305.7K posts and #47 in the U.S. with under 10K posts, reflecting his polarizing presence.
A recent controversy fueled his online buzz when Paul stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan, calling the host a “dumbass” after accusations of staging fights and cultural appropriation. Posts on X indicate Paul threatened legal action against Morgan, forcing a retraction, and vowed to sue anyone claiming his boxing matches are fixed. This followed his unanimous decision victory over Julio César Chávez Jr. on June 28, 2025, earning him a #14 WBA cruiserweight ranking, though the decision sparked debate among fans and critics.
X users are divided, with some mocking Paul’s antics, like a viral video of him destroying a wedding cake, calling it classless, while others defend his boxing career, arguing he’s unfairly criticized regardless of his opponents. Talks of a potential MMA fight with Oleksandr Usyk or a boxing match with Anthony Joshua also surfaced, adding to the speculation about his next move.
Paul’s ability to stir controversy and maintain relevance keeps him trending, proving his knack for turning attention into headlines.
