Jake Paul has many options for his next fight and it appears all of them are boxers. Names like Anderson Silva and Tommy Fury have been rumored to be next for the YouTuber.
It appears like that is no longer the case though. Jake Paul recently told Cris Mannix on his Podcast that he wants someone completely different, he wants to box Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
“It’s interesting. I like that fight a lot, because it silences the critics,” Jake Paul said (h/t MMA Fighting). “He was a former world champion, and I know I could beat him. And you look at his record, it’s like 50 wins or something, and I don’t even know the losses, but it’s a good record. So that challenge excites me and I’m down. And this is what people don’t understand is that, even after I knocked out Woodley, they were all like, ‘Fight a real boxer.’ I’m like, ‘You guys, I tried, and he dropped out of the fight two weeks before.’ So I want to fight a real boxer, newsflash, and I’m going to. Just have some fucking patience.”
Tommy Fury has made it known that he wants the boxing match with Jake Paul rescheduled. The YouTuber has shut that possibility down.
“Of course. He wants the payday. But I’ve said it before, I don’t want to take the fight with him. He doesn’t deserve it,” Jake Paul said. “And I would rather fight Tyson [Fury]. I would want Tyson to come down to cruiserweight and that would be a bigger fight. So I’d rather fight Tyson or his dad. His dad, John, did a better job of promoting the fight than Tommy did. So I would fight his brother or his dad before I’d fight Tommy.”
It is unclear who exactly is going to be the next opponent for Jake Paul. Currently, he's interested in Julio Cesar Chaev Jr. next.
