Award-winning rapper and PFL co-owner Wiz Khalifa is down to signing ‘The Problem Child’ Jake Paul under their banner and seems all inspired by his constant surge in the combat community. Coming from the YouTube culture, Paul showcased the sheer abilities to be a pro-boxer and has already registered wins over former MMA champions- Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren in the boxing ring.

However, he is frequently criticized for not having a scrap against a pro-boxer. That said, Paul had teased a potential move to the MMA domain a few months back. Posting a clip of his leg kicks on Twitter, Paul had tagged Bellator and PFL MMA in a cryptic post. Now, Wiz Khalifa has exclusively told TMZ about his will to sign ‘The Problem Child.’

Wiz Khalifa, on signing Jake Paul, said, “It will be tight if he fought for PFL. He [Jake Paul] is a cool guy. So wherever he ends up, he is gonna bring a lot of excitement.”

“Oh hell yeah (I would sign him)”

Well, Wiz Khalifa isn’t the only one to have expressed interest in signing Jake Paul. Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has also agreed to sign ‘The Problem Child’ in Eagle FC.

Paul agreed on doing so but called out ‘The Eagle’ himself on his debut fight. Meanwhile, Paul has also claimed to retire from boxing after setting a record of 10-0.

He currently stands at 5-0 with 4 KO wins under his name. Besides, Paul is also a fight promoter who is working to stage the much-awaited Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano on April 30. Thus, he has a lot of options on hand to cherry-pick his future plans.

Will Jake Paul return to boxing soon?

After knocking out Tyron Woodley in December 2021, Paul hasn’t announced anything about his in-ring plans. He has denied facing Tommy Fury, a fight that was supposed to happen instead of the Woodley rematch. While ‘TNT’ is now demanding his shot, ‘The Problem Child’ seems to have moved on.

He doesn’t intend to come back to action anytime soon. However, Paul can return shortly after Amanda Serrano vs. Katie Taylor concludes. He won’t have a deficit in finding big names from there, as IBF cruiserweight champion Mairis Briedis and several other boxers are ready to face Jake Paul.
