I think this is just another promotional trick. He's "retired" from boxing and then when he announces a comeback - against another non-boxer - there will be much social media fanfare and buzz in order to sell more tickets for the next fight.

According to The Sun:
JAKE Paul has QUIT boxing after defeating former UFC champ Tyron Woodley on Sunday.
The 24-year-old claimed he banked £72million in the big fight before telling his social media followers he was done in the ring with his record standing at 4-0. Just hours after beating Woodley, Paul took to Twitter to reveal he was hanging up his gloves.
The YouTuber simply wrote: “Updated status: Retired boxer.”
Paul won his fourth professional fight in the early hours of Monday morning after a split decision that the judges scored 77-75, 79-74, 75-77. After a cagey first three rounds, the fight burst into life in the fourth as Woodley finally went on the offensive. Things settled back down again towards the end of the eight rounds and the judges declared Paul the winner.
