Jake Paul next fight: Five potential opponents for ‘The Problem Child’ after huge victory over Mike Tyson

As soon as Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson on Saturday night, the world started fixating on who the “Problem Kid” should fight next.

And with that said, we've rounded up five men who would love the chance to trade leather with the YouTuber.

Tommy Fury

On February 26, 2023, at the Diriyah Arena in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, Tommy Fury ended the undefeated streak of one of the most controversial fighters in the world.

Using his snappy jab and slick footwork, the Brit left Jake Paul chasing shadows on his way to a win on the Cards.

It goes without saying that the American would love a rematch. And he would like to do it in boxing or MMA.

KSI

In the world of YouTube boxing, there is simply no bigger fight than Paul versus KSI. The pair of content creators have made no secret of their disdain for each other and expressed their desire to compete against each other in the squared circle.

Unfortunately, they never quite managed to get the fight over the line. But with both men currently without an opponent, this could be the opportune time to finally give their fans the clash they want to see.

Carl Froch

Of all the legendary boxers to mention Paul, perhaps none was as vocal as Carl Froch. The Hall of Famer is adamant that the Cleveland fighter “can't fight” and labels him “useless” at every opportunity.

'The Cobra' has claimed he would like to share the ring with Paul, making a match possible.

At 47, the Brit is in a sweet spot, where he's far enough away from his prime to make it a viable possibility, but not so far that it would be a repeat of the Mike Tyson fight.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

If the social media star wants to claim a victory over an active professional who has held a world title, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. could be the path to follow. The Mexican, who was once expected to replicate his legendary father, has disappointed in recent years.

Since losing the WBC middleweight title, Chavez Jr. came down the mountain to such an extent that he lost to Anderson Silva and was dropped by Uriah Hall in a controversial decision, which will no doubt give Paul confidence that he could secure the win.

Andre Ward

After sitting ringside to analyze Paul vs. Tyson, Andre Ward came away with an overwhelming sense of confidence.

Although it will be another seven years before he puts on the gloves, the Californian is confident he still has the minerals to teach the 27-year-old a lesson.

Ready to put pen to paper, Legend tweeted: “Let's talk.”

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson have both been banned from boxing

While Paul would be willing to at least talk to one of these men, it remains to be seen whether he would step foot in the ring with all of them.

Either way, the possibilities are endless, with whoever chooses the polarizing character likely to find themselves in another fight for money.

For now, however, neither he nor Tyson are allowed to actually compete while both boxers are suspended from the sport.

The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has revealed how much time off work the couple must spend.
