Global boxing superstar and serial entrepreneur Jake ‘El Gallo de Dorado’ Paul has officially joined the roster of the hit boxing video game Undisputed.
In the debut DLC since the game’s full release in October, the high-profile influencer-turned-boxer will be available as a playable character with three in-game outfits, bringing his fight style and personality to the most authentic boxing game from 12 December 2024.
Paul was put through his paces at the Sheffield, UK studio to ensure his in-game character reflected his signature style, combining his real-world fighting skills with his unapologetic, bold persona.
Steel City Interactive conducted a full motion capture of Jake Paul, resulting in a lifelike appearance with precision perfect punches, defence and footwork. His trademark flamboyant attire completes his virtual look.
“I’ve been breaking barriers and making history in real life, so it’s only fitting that I bring the same energy to Undisputed. This isn’t just about being in a video game; it’s about inspiring a new generation of fans to step into the ring – virtually and in real life.
The Steel City team nailed every detail, from my moves to my swag, and I can’t wait for players to test their skills as ‘El Gallo de Dorado.’ Just like in the real ring, I’m here to take over,” said Jake Paul.
“Jake’s influence on modern boxing is undeniable. His meteoric rise has introduced a whole new generation to the sport, especially those who have followed him from a YouTube phenomenon to a legitimate boxing contender,” said Ash Habib, Founder and CEO of Steel City Interactive.
“His inclusion in Undisputed represents our commitment to featuring fighters who bring something new and exciting to the sport, pushing boxing inside and outside the ring.”

About Jake Paul
Jake Paul, known as “El Gallo de Dorado,” has rapidly become one of the most influential figures in the world of combat sports. After rising to stardom on YouTube, Paul quickly earned a reputation for his brash, unapologetic behavior, which often landed him in the headlines. This rebellious attitude and controversial persona led to the birth of another one of Paul’s nicknames, “The Problem Child.” Paul left behind the digital influencer life and made the bold pivot to professional boxing in 2020. Driven by his passion for the sport and a desire to redefine his legacy, he relocated to Puerto Rico to focus fully on his training and boxing career.
After competing in three professional fights and headlining his first pay-per-view event in April 2021, Paul took another bold step. In August 2021, he co-founded Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) with Nakisa Bidarian, aiming to give fighters greater creative control over their careers. Paul’s commitment to the sport extends beyond his own career, as he and MVP actively promote women’s boxing and support rising talent through initiatives like MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects series. In 2023, Paul was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s “The 50 Most Influential Figures in Sports” issue — he was celebrated for revolutionizing the sport by advocating for equitable pay and creating platforms for young fighters, particularly women.
Paul’s impact in the ring is equally significant, with high-profile victories over names like Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz. His viral knockouts and headline-grabbing performances have breathed new life into boxing, drawing millions of fans and setting records. In November 2024, he headlined a historic bout against boxing legend Mike Tyson, streamed live globally on Netflix. The event shattered records, becoming the most-streamed sporting event ever with 108 million live viewers globally. The main event peaked at 65 million concurrent streams worldwide, including 38 million in the US. During its broadcast, 56% of all US TV viewing from 9 PM-10 PM PST was dedicated to the fight.
The fight’s impact extended beyond streaming, achieving record commercial distribution across 6,000+ bars and restaurants in the US and topping Netflix charts in 78 countries. Globally, it trended as #1 on X, with #PaulTyson dominating worldwide discussions and #Serrano ranking second in major markets like the US, Brazil, Spain, and Canada. With an $18,117,072 gate and 72,300 attendees at AT&T Stadium, the event set a record as the highest-grossing combat sports gate in US history outside of Las Vegas and entered the top 10 overall.
Outside the ring, Paul’s contributions to the sport extend into philanthropy and advocacy. In 2021, he launched the Boxing Bullies foundation, a nonprofit that empowers and inspires young people through boxing. He’s also been an outspoken advocate for fighter rights and pay equity and has partnered with USA Boxing to support the development of future Olympic athletes. Through his ventures and advocacy, Paul continues to shape the future of boxing and influence the broader sports and entertainment landscape.
