Jake
and Logan Paul become business partners for first
time amid major venture capital firm news
Boxer's
Anti Fund closes oversubscribed round as WWE star
Logan joins as general partner
(In
Case You Missed It)
December
3, 2025
Jake
Pauls venture capital firm with Geoff Woo announced
Wednesday that it has closed its oversubscribed $30
million Anti Fund I fund, nearly doubling its assets.
The
fund, which Pauls older brother Logan has also
joined as a general partner, has backed companies
like OpenAI, Physical Intelligence and Cognition,
and has incubated and funded many of Pauls other
business ventures, including W and Betr Media.
Paul's
business partner and Anti Fund co-founder Geoff Woo
said he and the Paul brothers "have a ton of
dry powder to back the next generation of American
innovation," and he feels he has the two best
partners in order to do so.
"Jake,
what I realized is that he is essentially an avatar
of the American dream, and I think Logan, in a very
similar parallel sense, also represents that,"
Woo said in a recent interview with FOX Business.
"When Jake named Anti Fund, I think we all share
the same belief, that the people that create the future
are the crazy ones that believe they can do it.
"And
I think both Jake and Logan have done things that
others thought were impossible. Jake's about to take
out a former heavyweight champion [Anthony Joshua]
and become a top boxer. Logan's built a billion-dollar
beverage brand, fastest-growing beverage brand in
history, is a sports-wrestling star and celebrity
in his own right. So I think in terms of being the
clarion call, or the leaders for the next generation
of American startups, I couldn't choose two better
partners to build this venture firm with."
The
Paul brothers both have their respective careers in
the rings Jake in boxing, Logan in WWE
along with plenty of other companies that they have
both invested in and founded. But Jake said he has
had a "love" for venture capital since he
was a teenager, and even met with companies like Google,
Uber and Twitter in Silicon Valley.
"Our
dad put us to work as children. I will throw him under
the bus here and say, like, deathly broke all the
child labor laws. And I remember working sometimes,
like cleaning houses, doing hard manual labor, like
as a 9-year-old and being like, Dude, this sucks.
But then when we got older, and we found stuff that
we actually liked doing, the work part came easy,
because that's all we knew," Logan added. "And
I think we are just obsessed with this grind and with
this particular venture. We like empowering people
who are changing the world, and for both of us, the
track record of taste has proven itself. We've had
some good wins under our belt, and I'm excited to
join the team and help these guys amplify and expand
their operation."
As
entrepreneurs themselves, Woo and the Paul brothers
feel that they know what businesspeople want.
"I
think we're much more founder-like than many venture
capitalists. I think that's one of the reasons why
future funders want to work with us, because we've
been in the trenches building, right?" Woo said.
"If you think about Jake and Logan, they built
themselves as characters and products, and they built
companies now, we're building a mass-allocator together.
So I think we're scaling up as a business and a franchise,
but also, we're partnering with literally the best
in the world, right? From Sam Altman at OpenAI to
Palmer Luckey and Trea Stephens at Anduril, right?
These are literally the top one, two, three, four,
five companies. They're just changing how we interact
with the world, how we live and breathe as just everyday
citizens.
"So
I think that ambition and the dream that we have to
influence the future is that big. And I think there's
something special about the combination of tech and
culture. And I think that's where we're super unique.
Technology is driving this conversation, right? Technology
is driving the distribution of this information, but
what do you distribute? It's the culture, the values,
and the principles of the people that build that technology.
And I think that's where we have a really unique angle
and lens and I think also an opinion of how that culture
should be shaped."
"Not
only are we investors, but we can disrupt Logan with
Prime, me with W, Betr is always in the top five in
the App Store is absolutely crushing it," Jake
Paul said. "And these are companies that we've
incubated ourselves, because if no one else is building
it and we see a hole in the market, we can hire the
best teams and grow and scale these companies in a
major way, which is what we've done as well. And it's
part of our strategy and thesis and alpha."
Logan
Paul added, "If you don't adapt, you die. And
that's really the truth, and that's how we've lived
our lives. Now, there's people younger than us and
smarter than us who have that same mindset who can
recognize the trend like that. It's really cool to
know that we have the ability to empower those people,
to change and build the future." (FOX News) with

Prime and/or Celsius
The
well hyped "Iron" Mike Tyson vs Jake "The
Problem Child" Paul boxing match to be broadcast
globally via Netflix will now take occur on Friday,
November 15th after requiring a reschedule due to
a recent Tyson medical issue.
The
mega combat sports event will happen live from AT&T
Stadium in Arlington, Texas, with the already announced
Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano co-main event rematch.
The
decision to reschedule was announced last week following
Tyson suffering what was called ulcer complications
after boarding a flight. It was stated that Tysons
doctors instructed him to take it lighter on training
for a period of time that caused concern, and rightly
so, due to the timeframe in which the July 20th fight
was originally set to take place.
The
bout between the 58-year-old Tyson and the 27-year-old
Paul was first announced in early-March. It will be
Tysons first fight of any kind since a November
2020 exhibition boxing bout with Roy Jones Jr. which
was preceded by a 15-year-gap of inactivity.
Jake's
brother, Paul, had offered to sub (take the place)
for Tyson a few weeks ago, and that winner would have
to change their surname. The brainchild of "The
Maverick" aka "Prime Heel" in hardcore
pro wrestling circles, never materialized, but the
Paul's always have an ace or two up their sleeves.
Logan Paul is set to be high up on the WWE SummerSlam
card on August 3 in Cleveland, Ohio. ..IO, right Mr
Pat McAfee of WWE Raw fame and sports broadcasting
and podcasting mastermind.
The
upcoming match is forecast to be the biggest broadcast
boxing match in modern history.

NEW
YORK, NY June 18, 2024 Today, MVP announced
that international superstar Jake "El Gallo
Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) will return to the ring for "Fear
No Man, a cruiserweight battle against the incredibly
dangerous bare knuckle champion boxer and MMA star
"Platinum Mike Perry (5-0, 3 KOs BKFC)
on Saturday, July 20 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida,
live on DAZN pay-per-view. Paul vs. Perry will be
an eight round cruiserweight bout, as Paul faces his
most dangerous opponent to date and puts it all on
the line in an incredibly risky fight against the
baddest bare knuckle boxer of all time ahead of his
bout with the Baddest Man on the Planet, Mike Tyson.
Boxing trailblazer and unified featherweight champion
Amanda "The Real Deal Serrano (46-2-1,
30 KOs) will also return to the ring against Tampa,
Florida's top-10 ranked IBF, WBO, and WBA talent and
KO artist, Stevie "Sledgehammer Morgan
(14-1, 13 KOs) in the co-main event. Serrano vs. Morgan
will be a super lightweight battle, contested over
10, two-minute rounds as Serrano aims to display her
power at super lightweight against the powerful puncher,
Morgan, ahead of her clash with Katie Taylor on Friday,
November 15. Tickets for Paul vs. Perry and Serrano

bout. Further undercard fights will be announced in
the coming days.
Jake
"El Gallo Paul (9-1, 6 KOs) has shown tremendous
growth as a boxer on his path to becoming a world
champion, and now will face his most dangerous opponent
to date, Mike Perry, on Saturday, July 20. Perry's
formidable knockout power and fearless mentality will
pose a true risk and test for Paul as the 27-year-old
aims to prove he has what it takes in the ring against
his second youngest opponent to date, the 32-year-old
Perry, who is one of the world's most feared fighters
and the baddest bare knuckle boxer of all time. Paul
will nevertheless put it all on the line ahead of
his bout against the Baddest Man on the Planet, Mike
Tyson on Friday, November 15. Since turning pro in
2020, Paul has collected multiple accolades for his
commitment to the sport of boxing, including ESPNRingside's
2021 Knockout of the Year, Sports Illustrated's 2021
Breakout Boxer of the Year, ESPNRingside's 2022 Viral
Moment of the Year, and was the cover of Sports Illustrated's
"The 50 Most Influential Figures in Sports
issue, awarded specifically for his groundbreaking
work to revolutionize the sport through equitable
pay, providing a platform for young fighters, and
his support of female boxers. Paul also recently announced
a partnership with USA Boxing ahead of the 2024 Paris
Olympics, continuing his mission to elevate the sport
and its future champions.
Since
headlining his first fight, Paul has broken records
at every arena he's fought at during his professional
career, including his first fight at Tampa's Amalie
Arena, Paul vs. Woodley II, which set the record for
the highest combat sports gate in the arena's history.
Paul now returns to challenge his own record at Amalie
Arena.
"When
Paul vs. Tyson was rescheduled, I knew immediately
that I wanted to still fight on Saturday, July 20.
Now, as I prepare for my fight against Iron Mike,
there's no better opponent for me than Mike Perry,
said Jake Paul. "He's a proven knockout artist
who has shown to be a maniac in and out of the ring.
This is the perfect experience for me to gain in advance
of facing Mike Tyson. But getting that experience
comes with risk. Those who know me know I'm a risk
taker and while Platinum' Perry might try to
end me, I'm Titanium Jake Paul and I fear no man.
I'm going to get the W and give everyone a preview
of what I'm bringing to the ring against Mike Tyson.
Tune in on DAZN PPV as I return to Tampa and send
Platinum' Perry the Platypus back to bare knuckle
for good.
"Platinum"
Mike Perry (5-0, 3 KOs BKFC), one of the most dangerous
fighters in combat sports, steps into the ring with
Jake Paul following his fearsome career across the
UFC, Triad Combat, and bare knuckle boxing. Following
his 14-win career in the UFC, boasting 11 wins by
knockout, Perry made his Triad Combat debut in November
2021, taking on 27-3, 21 KOs seasoned boxer Michael
Seals, demonstrating his ability to handle power punchers
and outworking Seals to a split decision victory in
the bout. Less than three months later, Perry made
his bare knuckle boxing debut with BKFC, securing
his first win over Julian Lane in 2022, which he followed
with a thrilling win over dynamic striker Michael
"Venom Page later that year. Perry's bout
with former UFC champion Luke Rockhold in April 2023
ended decisively with a second-round knockout, highlighting
Perry's striking power and relentless pressure from
the opening bell. In his BKFC "King of Violence
title fight in December 2023 against Eddie Alvarez,
the first-ever fighter to become a champion in both
UFC and Bellator, Perry displayed his vicious power
yet again with a second round TKO due to corner stoppage.
Perry earned the 2023 Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship
Male Fighter of the Year and in April 2024, he expanded
his undefeated record to 5-0 with a first-round KO
of UFC veteran Thiago Alves. The bout served as the
latest testament to the power, tenacity and skill
Perry will bring to the ring against Jake Paul on
Saturday, July 20 for "Fear No Man.
"Jake
Paul claims he fears no man, but on Saturday, July
20, the world will see the truth: he just made the
worst mistake of his life in trying to get through
me before Iron Mike, said Mike Perry. "I'm
going to make it look easy on Saturday July 20th,
and I'm going to teach Jake Paul the most he's ever
learned about fighting."
Amanda
Serrano (46-2-1, 30 KOs), the first-ever Puerto Rican
undisputed world champion, started her current featherweight
title reign by defeating Heather Hardy in a brutal
10-round fight in 2019 to win the WBO belt, and has
since defended her WBO belt six times. Serrano offered
Hardy redemption in August 2023, but successfully
defended her undisputed featherweight world champion
title for the first time in a decisive 10 round unanimous
decision victory. Serrano also won a blood-soaked
war against WBA featherweight champion Erika Cruz
in February 2023, which made her the undisputed featherweight
champion. Serrano's decisive win against Cruz followed
her previous win over Sarah Mahfoud in Manchester,
England that added the Dane's IBF title to her WBO,
WBC, and IBO featherweight belts. Her historic clash
against Katie Taylor at Madison Square Garden in 2022
earned recognition as Sports Illustrated's Fight of
the Year and The Ring's Event of the Year and was
further nominated for Event of the Year by Sports
Business Journal. Most recently, Serrano took home
a unanimous decision victory against her mandatory
WBO challenger Danila Ramos, making history in the
first-ever women's unified world championship to be
fought over 12, three-minute rounds, equal to any
men's championship fight, and marking the first time
a women's fight has gone the full 12x3. Serrano threw
a career high of 1103 punches in the bout. In honor
of her trailblazing achievements inside and outside
the ring, Serrano was also recently awarded the Boxing
Writers Association of America (BWAA) Female Fighter
of the Year for 2023. Following her bout against Stevie
Morgan on Saturday, July 20, Serrano is set to face
Katie Taylor in the most anticipated women's boxing
rematch in modern history, for the undisputed super
lightweight women's championship. Taylor vs. Serrano
will be the co-main event of the rescheduled Jake
Paul vs. Mike Tyson mega-event at AT&T Stadium
on Friday, November 15.
"I've
already been preparing for a fight on Saturday, July
20, and even though I'll now be waiting a little longer
for my rematch with Katie Taylor, this is an opportunity
for me to face another tough boxer in Stevie Morgan
in Tampa, said Amanda Serrano. "My opponent
has 13 KOs, more than almost every other active female
boxer, but I fear no woman I embrace the war.
I look forward to seeing all my Puerto Rican fans
in Tampa for my 50th professional fight to show the
world my skills at super lightweight, live on DAZN
PPV.
Stevie
Morgan (14-1, 13 KOs), the 34-year-old 5'8 lightweight
talent, has established herself as a formidable force
in the boxing world. Born and raised in Tampa, Florida,
Stevie was an athlete throughout her school years,
excelling in track and field, basketball, and football.
Her journey into boxing began just a year before her
first amateur fight, under the guidance of coach John
Cassella. As an amateur, Stevie quickly rose to prominence
with around 40 fights and accolades such as Outstanding
Female Boxer and Florida Golden Gloves Champion. Stevie
made her professional debut on June 18, 2022, with
Brandi Mccain's One One Six Promotions in Memphis,
Tennessee. Under the expert training of Monyette Flowers
at Flowers Boxing Lab, she has continued to build
on her amateur success as a professional. Now in just
her second year as a pro, she is currently ranked
by the WBC and is in the top 10 of the IBF, WBO, and
WBA world rankings.
"We've
been training for an opportunity like this, and I
want to give full respect to Amanda for all she has
done in her career and for women's boxing, said
Stevie Morgan. "In this sport, though, in order
to make a name, you have to take a name. I have 13
KOs and nothing will be sweeter than making Amanda
Serrano number 14. Come fight night on Saturday, July
20 there will be fireworks!
"The
stakes are high for every single one of MVP's fighters
stepping into the ring on Saturday, July 20. For Jake
and Amanda, the pressure is on to emerge with a W
against two very dangerous opponents in Mike Perry
and Stevie Morgan, said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder
of MVP. "Jake Paul is facing a monster in Mike
Perry. Amanda Serrano is going in there with a fighter
who has 13KOs in 15 fights. Nothing is a given for
our two superstars. We also have an incredible lineup
of undercard fights coming together, the first of
which features highly talented lightweight prospects
Aguilar vs. Marksman. This fight will see these young
talents putting their undefeated records on the line
and working to set a new precedent for hopeful title
contenders in the sport. We are excited to return
to Tampa and put on another heart racing night of
fights.
Joining
the undercard will be a battle of two of boxing's
up-and-coming lightweight prospects, Tony Aguilar
(12-0-1, 4 KOs) vs. Corey Marksman (9-0-1, 7 KOs).
The two were longtime amateur rivals before turning
pro, and now look to secure Florida bragging rights
during the bout. The 25-year-old Aguilar, a Crescent
City, FL native, returns to the ring off his latest
three thrilling fights on MVP's Most Valuable Prospects
series, including his initial bout against Marksman
on Most Valuable Prospects 5 in February 2024. He
proudly represents his Mexican heritage in the ring,
and is a relentlessly hard-working fighter who will
look to keep the action high and his opponent guessing
in his eagerly-anticipated rematch against Orlando,
Florida's Marksman. In the pair's recent faceoff,
the 23-year-old Marksman matched Aguilar's energy
and met the challenge with his own aggression and
power. Aguilar, promoted by boxing legend Christy
Martin, and Marksman fittingly fought to a split draw,
a decision each will look to right in their favor
on Saturday, July 20 in their first major PPV appearances.
"It's
great to have Jake Paul back on DAZN in another action
packed, high risk fight, said Jared Kass, SVP
North America of DAZN. "With an unprecedented
number of top-tier fights every year of DAZN, we are
pleased to be adding another huge fight to our already
packed summer schedule. Watch the fight exclusively
live Saturday, July 20, only on DAZN PPV.
