Following his highly controversial fight against Mike Tyson last November, Jake Paul has teased that his next fight could be just around the corner.
After months of health complications, Mike Tyson's originally scheduled July fight against Jake Paul was postponed, which was music to the ears of sports fans.
Despite this, 'The Problem Child' defeated BKFC fighter and former UFC star Mike Perry in the sixth round, retaining his fight against 'Iron Mike'.

Jake Paul teases fight news as he returns to training
Last November, the 27-year-old took a unanimous victory over the 58-year-old, before breaking modern viewership records as the event performed brilliantly on Netflix.
Paul was heavily criticized both before and after the fight for picking someone 31 years older than him, and UFC legend Don Frye even recently admitted that the fight made him sick. But in typical Problem Child fashion, he brushed off all the hate.
As Paul would have wanted, after his win over Tyson he was called upon by several professional boxers, even attracting the interest of the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Artur Beterbiev.
While the 27-year-old's next move has not yet been revealed, he recently teased that he is now back in intensive training for his next appearance.
“Something coming,” Paul wrote on his Instagram Story, along with several posts of him in the gym.
In the first clip, the internet sensation turned boxer was seen shadowboxing intensely in the ring before doing some strength and conditioning work and jumping jacks.
Could Jake Paul fight Conor McGregor next?
Curiously, it was recently revealed by UFC star Conor McGregor that he is in talks to fight Logan Paul in a boxing match in India.
Although the news came as a huge surprise, the news was confirmed to Bloody Elbow by someone close to the situation. 'The Notorious' has continuously hinted on social media that the fight is ongoing and will involve a $250 million cash prize.
Last Monday, the WWE debuted on Netflix and it was their new home. As part of the show, Paul cut a promo at the beginning of the episode, stating that from now on he is dedicating his life to WWE, putting his fight against McGregor in jeopardy.
Since joining the WWE in 2022, he has not wrestled full-time and has continued with his other endeavors, but that appears to be changing.
“I don't respect the process. I've never “stood in line” or “waited my turn,” but you know what should really keep you awake at night? I've been so good at this.
“And now? I dedicate my life to this, no more afterthoughts, no more bulls***. 100 percent WWE superstar,” he continued.
And with that, there's the possibility that Logan's brother, Jake, could be in contention to snipe the boxing fight against McGregor away from his wrestler brother.
