From a YouTuber to a professional boxer, Jake Paul has come a long way. Currently, Paul is one of the most known individuals in the world of boxing. Paul started his professional boxing career a couple of years back and was able to market himself well and managed to generate a massive fan following.
However, all that was never that easy as initially Paul was just a joke and nobody took him seriously. With time Paul silenced his haters by defeating the likes of Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. After showing that level of dedication, Paul proved why he should be taken seriously by his doubters. But in his last fight, Paul got the taste of disappointment for the first time.
Paul finally got the opportunity to fight Tommy Fury on 26 February in Saudi Arabia. Going into the fight, The ‘Problem Child’ had impressive momentum but failed to deliver on the big stage. Fury dominated the fight and Paul wasn’t able to do anything significant in the fight. In the end, Paul lost via split decision which ended his undefeated run.

Who will be the next fighter to face Jake Paul inside the boxing ring?
It was Jake Paul’s first-ever boxing loss and it was a big one considering Tommy Fury and he had a nasty beef going into the fight. However, even after the loss, Paul showed great sportsmanship and took it like a true gentleman. Nevertheless, fans are now interested in knowing who is going to be the next opponent to face Paul, now that he has tasted defeat.
KSI
Everybody is aware of the great rivalry between Jake Paul and KSI which has been there since the beginning of YouTube boxing. Now that KSI is on a winning streak and has shown signs to fight someone challenging, Jake Paul is a great choice for it. Similarly, Paul might also like the idea of finally fighting the Brit inside the boxing ring.
Conor McGregor
Conor McGregor is the biggest superstar and has the capability to generate an enormous amount of revenue. Paul knows that well and in the past has already tried to get into that fight. There is no way Paul will stop trying to make McGregor sign that fight contract.
Nate Diaz
Now that Nate Diaz is out of UFC and is a free agent this is the best chance for Paul to make that fight. Paul has previously called out Diaz multiple times and given that Diaz is interested in boxing, this might be the next big event.
Floyd Mayweather
Floyd Mayweather is well known for fighting exhibition bouts and he has participated in several of those in the last few years. However, his last fight didn’t do that well and the retired boxer might think of fighting Paul who is himself a well-known face in the sport.
Michael Bisping
Michael Bisping might be a good choice for Jake Paul as he likes to fight retired UFC champions. In the past, Paul has shown his interest in fighting Bisping and the Brit was also ready to sign the contract. For the fight fans, it will definitely be an amazing experience given that Bisping is a very entertaining fighter.
