YouTube superstar Yousef Saleh Erakat, better known as Fousey revealed that former YouTuber and boxer Jake Paul saved his life. Fousey was in an interview with Bradley Martyn, where he said that Paul paid for his hospital bills and took him to therapists, when he had nobody in his life.
Fousey further added that it was Paul who helped him get professional help and psychiatric treatment for getting out of the rough patch. He said, “I called him and and I go, Jake, I'm about to off myself, I'm done. And I was. And he goes, I know the best therapist in LA...she works at this hospital you have to talk to her."

He went on to say, "I tell her I need to go to a mental health hospital, I can't afford it. On her own she relays it to Jake... she calls me back and goes Jake is going to pay for your hospitalisation... Jake Paul paid and saved my life when nobody was in my life."
The 'Problem Child' recently competed in his first fight since his defeat against Tommy Furry. Paul took on former UFC legend Nate Diaz, who made his professional boxing debut against the former YouTuber. The 10-round fight saw Diaz getting defeated by Paul by a unanimous decision.
