The internet sensation Jake Paul took the MMA world by storm when he penned a contract with UFC’s rival promotion, PFL. While he picked up boxing and excelled at it, the transition to MMA raised a few eyebrows. The American celebrity racked up victories against former UFC fighters such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, and also Anderson Silva in the past. Boasting a splendid record against MMA fighters, the Youtuber resolved to venture into MMA. However, any updates concerning his debut in PFL have dried up since the announcement. But, as reported by a senior PFL official, the promotion is on the hunt for an appropriate opponent.

Notably, the social media phenomenon, who is a staunch supporter of the fighters’ pay, will ‘absolutely’ mark his debut in 2023. While Tommy Fury halted his juggernaut when the two boxers met last month, the 26-year-old celebrity is already hitting the gym with a specific intention to dominate the MMA.

Jake Paul will make his much-awaited debut in 2023

In a conversion to MMA Mania, Loren Mack, the PFL’s Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications, dropped an update on the professional boxer’s debut.

He disclosed, “Jake Paul is absolutely going to fight in 2023. I mean, that’s, that’s been the plan all along. I know he’s in the gym, and he’s training, taking it very seriously. So expect to see him in the PFL cage in 2023, and it’s going to be MMA.”
