Jake Paul next fight: Five potential opponents for 'The Problem Child' after huge victory over Mike Tyson
11/21/2024 10:21 AM
As soon as Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson on Saturday night, the world began fixating on who the ‘Problem Child’ will fight next.
And with that said, we’ve listed five men who’d jump at the opportunity to trade leather with the YouTuber.
Tommy Fury
On February 26, 2023, at the Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, Tommy Fury ended the unbeaten run of one of the most controversial fighters on the planet.
Utilizing his snappy jab and slick footwork, the Brit left Jake Paul chasing shadows en route to picking up a victory on the cards.
Therefore, it goes without saying that the American would love a rematch. And he’d be happy to do it in boxing or MMA.
KSI
In the world of YouTube boxing, there’s simply no bigger fight than Paul vs KSI. The pair of content creators have made no secret of their disdain for one another, expressing their desire to go head-to-head in the squared circle.
Alas, they’ve never quite managed to get the bout over the line. But with both men currently without an opponent, now could be the opportune moment to finally give their fans the clash they want to see.
Carl Froch
Of all the legendary boxers who’ve slated Paul, perhaps none have been as vocal as Carl Froch. The Hall of Famer is absolutely adamant that the Cleveland brawler ‘can’t fight,’ branding him ‘useless’ at every given opportunity.
‘The Cobra’ has claimed he’d love to share the ring with Paul, making a match-up possible.
At the age of 47, the Brit is in a sweet spot, where he’s far enough away from his prime to make it a viable possibility, but not past it to the extent where it would be a repeat of the Mike Tyson bout.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
If the social media star wants to claim a victory over an active professional who’s held a world title, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr could be the path to follow. The Mexican, once expected to replicate his legendary father, has underwhelmed in recent years.
Since losing the WBC middleweight title, Chavez Jr has tumbled down the mountain to the extent where he’s lost to Anderson Silva and scraped by Uriah Hall in a controversial decision, which will undoubtedly give Paul confidence that he could secure the victory.
Andre Ward
After sitting ringside to analyze Paul vs Tyson, Andre Ward came away with an overwhelming feeling of confidence.
While seven years removed from lacing-up the gloves, the Californian is convinced he still has the minerals to teach the 27-year-old a lesson.
Ready to put pen to paper, the legend tweeted: “Let’s talk’.
Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are both suspended from boxing
While Paul would be willing to at least trash talk with any of these men, whether he’d set foot in the ring with them all or not remains to be seen.
Regardless, the possibilities are endless, with whoever the polarizing character chooses, likely to make for another money-making fight for him.
However, for the time being, he nor Tyson are actually allowed to compete with both boxers suspended from the sport.
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has revealed how much time off the pair must spend.
