Jake Paul Gives Timeline for a Potential Fight With Mike Tyson

After beating Tyron Woodley twice in a row, Jake Paul needs to face a professional boxer to validate his surge in the pugilistic community. The 24-year-old dreams to hold a world title someday, and his 5-0 record is already leaping towards that. However, Paul’s dreams go way ahead to just donning a championship.

The MVP Promotions CEO has frequently expressed his desire to meet elite combatants like Canelo Alvarez, Conor McGregor, and even retired legend Mike Tyson. That said, a fight against Tyson will urge him to enter an exhibition, something he denied doing against Floyd Mayweather.

Paul wants to continue his career as a pro, but a scrap against Mike Tyson may change his plans. Besides, Canelo Alvarez is also on his radar, and Paul seems adamant about getting the Mexican star in his resume.

In a chat with Chris Mannix, ‘The Problem Child’ said, “Mike Tyson is probably up there. I think that would be the coolest thing in the world. And then I think Canelo [Alvarez] is on there and I think that can happen you know towards the end of my career when I’m sort of I am in peak physical condition, have all the experience under my belt.”

Jake Paul is just at the beginning of his career and has a lot to do in the sport. All the fame and attention he has, doesn’t verify his limited or almost no achievements in boxing. However, the social media star-turned boxer has improved constantly with every fight. While he also has the financial gaining as backup, Paul’s in-ring career can continue surging.

Who shall we see Jake Paul face next?

Before Tyron Woodley bagged the rematch against Paul, only to get knocked out in round six, Tommy Fury was scheduled to meet ‘The Problem Child’. 7-0 as a professional, Fury seemed the most appropriate opponent for Paul.

However, the Brit suffered an injury in his camp and walked away. Paul used that as a chance to upgrade his resume to 5-0 by knocking out a former UFC welterweight champion. While ‘TNT’ seems fit to go now, Paul doesn’t seem interested anymore.

He is in talks to face former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. It will also be a lucrative fight for both sides. A potential win over Chavez Jr. will fetch tremendous glory to Paul’s boxing career. And that is what he needs right now before aiming the big shots like Alvarez.
