Love him or hate him, Jake Paul continues to make waves in the boxing world, in and out of the ring.
Jake Paul is one of the latest additions to the fast-growing Undisputed boxing video game as part of the game’s upcoming seven-player downloadable content (DLC) overhaul.
Paul headlines ‘The Problem Child’ DLC pack, which is set to be made available to all Undisputed players on December 12th. The game’s producers, Steel City Interactive, announced Paul’s addition on its various social media platforms on Thursday.
The producers announced in a separate press release that the pack will include a free and paid portion. It’s uncertain what the price is for Paul and ‘The Problem Child’ ahead of the DLC’s launch.

The pack also features the additions of Zhilei Zhang, Otto Wallin, and former heavyweight champ James “Buster” Douglas. Douglas became the first man to defeat Mike Tyson in 1990, knocking him out in Tokyo in one of the biggest upsets in sports history.
Along with Paul and the other six fighters, players will get new ring attires for Terence Crawford, Deontay Wilder, Vasily Lomachenko, Roy Jones Jr., Sunny Edwards, and Seniesa Estrada.
Paul’s ‘Undisputed’ cameo comes just weeks after defeating Tyson by unanimous decision in his most recent boxing match. While the fight didn’t live up to lofty expectations, Paul and Tyson went the full distance and were paid handsomely for their efforts.
Paul has bounced back nicely since suffering his first professional boxing defeat to Tommy Fury last year. He’s earned recent wins over former UFC superstar Nate Diaz, as well as boxing vets Andre August and Ryan Bourland.

Paul has plenty of options for his next boxing fight, which is expected to take place in the first semester of 2025. A rematch with Fury, who faces former UFC star Darren Till next month, is a strong possibility.
Paul has also called out top boxing names such as Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Dubois. While Alvarez’s next fight isn’t set, as of this writing, Dubois will face Joseph Parker at a February 22nd Riyadh Season event.
‘Undisputed’ has quickly risen as the premier boxing video game today, although EA Sports has teased the return of its ‘Fight Night’ franchise. Paul’s addition adds to an already upward trending year for ‘Undisputed’ and the clamor for boxing video games.
