Pro boxing sensation - and perennial troublemaker - Jake Paul shares his unlikely journey from online prankster to power puncher in this documentary.
Netflix’s excellent series of one-off sports documentaries returns and, as usual, it focuses on the quirky or controversial edges of the sporting world – such as the fact that some of the most anticipated and analysed boxing bouts of the past couple of years have featured a YouTuber, Jake Paul, whom many connoisseurs of pugilism think is making a mockery of their beloved discipline. But is the prankster-turned-fighter really trashing a noble art, or is he correct in his assertion that boxing is just showbiz? Interviews and training footage try to get behind the phenomenon.
