Jake Paul reportedly found his next opponent.
The YouTuber boxer has made a career of beating former UFC hunters and boxers, which improved his record to 11-1 as a pro with a decision victory on the legendary Mike Tyson last November.
Although the former heavyweight champion was 58 years old, but the event was a huge success on Netflix. Paul vs. Tyson destroyed viewers records with more than 108 million viewers who coordinate in live, making it the most streamed sporting event in history.
Paul, 28, will hardly have much eyes on his upcoming boxing match this summer.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is 1-1 against ex-GUC hunters
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Last summer, Paul shouted after his decision victory at the former UFC Middleweight Competier Uriah Hall on his undercard.
It was in no way the best performance, Hall introduced the game as an inexperienced 1-0 boxer and the slightly older hunter.
Paul and Chavez Jr. Share a common opponent in UFC legend Anderson Silva.
Chavez Jr. Was Silva's first fight after UFC and his first boxing match in 16 years. Silva had lost to Hall in his MMA pension fight, but came to an impressive split decision victory on Chavez Jr. In his return to the Ring in 2021.
Former middleweight champion Silva is one of the five UFC veterans that Jake Paul has a victory.
After eliminating former world champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, Paul knocked down a 47-year-old Silva to win through a unanimous decision in 2022.
The following year, Paul's first boxing destruction came in his next fight against Tommy Fury, where the social media sensation lost due to a split decision.
Jake Paul has since remained in the win column.
