Jake Paul is presented with opportunity to become undisputed champion following Mike Tyson victory

Jake Paul produced a mediocre performance to completely outshine Mike Tyson in last night's nonsensical showdown at a sold-out AT&T Stadium, Texas.

The 27-year-old claims he carried Tyson through eight two-minute rounds without wanting to cause any unnecessary damage as he secured his 11th victory in professional boxing.

But in reality, the blockbuster clash – headlining Netflix's first-ever live boxing show – turned out to be somewhat unnecessary in many ways.

Jake Paul has since been ridiculed for fighting a man who, even though he is a decorated legend of the sport, is over thirty years his senior.

Artur Beterbiev shows interest in fighting Jake Paul

Since turning professional again in 2020, Paul has had a string of highlights against former UFC stars like Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva.

But when he faced unproven boxer Tommy Fury, 'The Problem Child' suffered his first defeat in a frustratingly sordid affair.

Nevertheless, the social media star managed to land a monumental blow against former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who returned to a professional ring last night for the first time in almost two decades.

And yet, even after showing a limited repertoire of skills in his unanimous decision win over the 58-year-old, Paul continues to insist he has what it takes to become world champion.

But while he has openly targeted super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez, it appears he has now been presented with an alternative option.

Despite piling on the pounds to face Tyson at heavyweight, Paul has largely campaigned around 200 pounds.

And so, undisputed light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev has chosen to throw his name into the mix, confirming that he is “open to all suggestions.”

Should Jake Paul fight Artur Beterbiev?

Beterbiev is coming off a highly controversial majority win over Dmitry Bivol, but has always shown interest in moving up to cruiserweight.

As one of the biggest players in the 175 lb division, a weight gain would only be natural for the 39-year-old.

Not only that, but Beterbiev is known as one of the most devastating punchers in boxing, with his pulverizing power showing no signs of abating.

As for Paul, it might be best for him to sidestep the knockout artist and instead face an active fighter he might be able to beat.
