Jake Paul next fight: Possible date and opponents

Following his record-breaking bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson, attention has turned to who Jake Paul will take on next in the squared circle.

The American social media mogul has not been shy to assert his intentions of reaching the pinnacle of the sport and winning a world title one day.

Paul certainly seems hellbent on fighting the biggest names possible, with Tyson joining UFC legends including Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz and Tyron Woodley on the 27-year-old's resume.

We take a look at when Jake Paul could make his return to the boxing ring and his possible future opponents.

Jake Paul next fight date

Although Jake Paul's next fight is yet to be confirmed, it has been reported that the American is likely to return to the ring sometime between April and July in 2025 with potential venues for the future event already being sounded out.

Paul's last outing saw him convincingly overcome a 58-year-old Mike Tyson at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on 15th November 2024.

Jake Paul possible next opponents

Tommy Fury

Still the only defeat on Jake Paul's boxing record, Paul has been on record stating his keenness to engage in a rematch with Tommy Fury at some stage.

The 'Problem Child' lost via split decision to his British adversary in Saudi Arabia in February 2023.

The brother of one of the best heavyweight boxers of this era in Tyson Fury, Tommy has also publicly expressed his willingness to fight Paul for a second time, leaving open the possibility of a 2025 rematch.

Conor McGregor

Jake Paul has long targeted a fight with former UFC two-weight world champion Conor McGregor.

Considering the Irishman has not fought professionally in over three years, the possibility of him accepting a mega fight with the 'Problem Child' is perhaps increasing.

Considering that Paul's pre-fight trash talk and social media histrionics are comparable to McGregor's own style, the meeting of this pair would make for one of the most talked about match ups of all time.

KSI

For as long as Jake Paul continues to box, a potential fight with British YouTube star KSI will always remain a talking point.

Previously conquering Jake's brother Logan in the second of two fights between the duo at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in November 2019, KSI has been linked with taking on the 'Problem Child' ever since.

KSI, CEO of Misfits Boxing, and Jake Paul, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions, frequently trade insults on social media, but as of yet no agreement for a possible fight has been struck.

Canelo Alvarez

A meeting with pound-for-pound great Canelo Alvarez has been mentioned by Paul several times as a dream match up in his boxing career.

Whether or not the Mexican would be willing to take his distinguished career in this direction remains to be seen, but if this fight were to be made it would surely make for record PPV numbers.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

Another name linked as a potential future opponent for Jake Paul is Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, the son of former three-weight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

A former WBC middleweight champion, Chavez Jr took on Canelo Alvarez in a professional contest at the T-Mobile Arena in Nevada back in May 2017, losing via unanimous decision.

Like Paul, Chavez Jr has also faced UFC legend Anderson Silva in the ring, but unlike the YouTuber he came out on the losing side against the Brazilian following an eight-round bout.

After previously overcoming distinguished names in the UFC, Paul may view a win over a former world champion in Chavez Jr as a potential means of bolstering his credibility in boxing circles.
