Jake Paul’s next outing could be announced very soon with ‘The Problem Child’ having picked his next opponent.
Since his emergence in the world of professional boxing, Jake Paul has done nothing but split the fanbase because of his tendency to pick opponents that he knows he will beat.
Last November, he caused massive controversy when he dragged Mike Tyson out of retirement to take him on, with the two going on to break multiple records with their fight that streamed live on Netflix.
Paul received a lot of criticism for that fight, as Tyson admitted to several health problems coming into the fight, as well as the huge age difference between the two.
Logan Paul reacts as he finds out who Jake Paul’s next opponent is
Following his fight against Tyson, Paul was called out by several professional boxers, including some champions like Artur Beterbiev, but he turned his attention to Canelo Alvarez instead.
Despite that fight seeming like a complete longshot for the 28-year-old, talks got near the final stages and an announcement seemed imminent.
However, the consensus savior of boxing, Turki Alalshikh offered Canelo an exclusive deal in an attempt to snatch the fight away from Jake Paul, and succeeded.
And with that, Paul was left without an opponent after coming so close to booking the biggest fight of his life and potentially one of the biggest fights in the sport this year.
But not for long, as the 28-year-old has picked his next opponent and will be making his return to the ring sooner rather than later.
In a video on his YouTube channel, Jake’s brother, Logan Paul, reacted after finding out who his brother will fight in the boxing ring next.
“I got a fight, I don’t know what else to tell you,” Jake told Logan.
“Of course I have a fight, brother, there’s a laundry list of big names that want to fight me,” Jake continued.
“No f—— way! That’s sick! Your secret is safe with me. I’m not telling any of you f——, anyone in this room could be a mole,” Logan said after Jake whispered the name of his opponent in his ear.
Who could Jake Paul’s next opponent be?
After Logan claimed that he and his brother ‘don’t fight retired fighters’ and only fight ‘people our age’, it begs the question, who could Jake be fighting next?
This Thursday, Floyd Mayweather sent a shot at Jake, claiming that he would be ‘too easy’ for him, even at 48 years old.
Floyd Mayweather has already shared the ring with Jake’s brother when the two fought in an exhibition fight in 2021.
Firing back at Mayweather, the 28-year-old claimed that he would knock ‘Money’ Mayweather out inside the first two rounds, potentially sparking a new rivalry.
