Jake Paul next fight options with Tommy Fury rematch and KSI bout

Jake Paul's next boxing options have been revealed, with a mixed list of potential opponents having lost the first fight of his career on Sunday night in Saudi Arabia.

His unbeaten record was taken away on Sunday, with Fury securing a win on the judges' scorecards via a split decision. Despite the judges being divided, Fury was dominant throughout, with his only tough moment coming after an apparent slip in the eighth and final round.

Thee win sees him claim a spot in the WBC's cruiserweight rankings, setting him on the path towards an unlikely world title shot in the future. However, he could have to face Paul again, with the American having the right to request a rematch having inserted a clause into their contract.

The loss to Fury was his first fight against a full-time professional boxer and could see the YouTube star change his approach and return to facing fighters from a similar background. According to the latest odds via BettingSites.co.uk, a rematch is the most likely option with odds of 1/3.

KSI has been backed as a 7/1 shot for either in their next fight, however, his current standing is below that of Paul in the sport and Fury could well be a step too far for the British YouTuber. Carl Froch took part in a war of words with Paul in the build-up to the fight and is a 25/1 option.

With his family's background in the sport, Tommy's father and manager John Fury could persuade his son to take a step up in opponent after his win extended his 9-0 record - Joshua Buatsi could be an option with odds of 25/1 for the former WBA International light-heavyweight champion.

Here is the full list of next opponent odds for both boxers.
