It could be a big 2025 for the ‘Problem Child’ who has potential opponents queuing up after his record-breaking victory. ‘El Gallo’ could face bitter rival Tommy Fury in a rematch, fellow influencer KSI or even pursue unlikely world title glory having been offered shots by Daniel Dubois and Artur Beterbiev. Despite having a break after his exploit against Tyson, Paul has now made a return to training with a view to keeping his activity going in 2025. He has began working out in his gym in Puerto Rico, despite being yet to officially confirm his next opponent.

Very, very competitive. “Part of when you have so much success is, you know, the biggest names are calling him out, but everyone has an expectation that is I’m gonna make tens of millions of dollars to fight Jake Paul. “And we pay people very well and we want to be in a business that is profitable for all parties, but we’re not gonna do things that don’t make economic sense. “We’re holding dates in different cities starting in mid-April all the way through mid-July, so giving ourselves the flexibility to have him return anywhere from April to July.” Boxing WhatsApp channel Get the latest fight news, reaction and the best opinion from talkSPORT pundits in our Boxing WhatsApp channel.
