The Jake Paul next fight sees the controversial boxer take on former heavyweight king and boxing legend Mike Tyson. Here is everything you need to know about the next fight of ‘The Problem Child’, and who he could face going forward in his career.
Jake Paul Next Fight: ‘The Problem Child’ Takes On Mike Tyson In Colossal Heavyweight Bout
Jake Paul is a name becoming more and more prominent in the world of boxing. At first, ‘The Problem Child’ was viewed as a bit of a gimmick, but now he is viewed by a lot of people as a genuine contender and a fully fledged professional boxer.
Jake Paul’s record currently stands at 10-1, having beaten some big names in his short career so far. Although more known for their UFC exploits, Jake Paul has beaten fighters such as Nate Diaz, Ben Askren, Mike Perry and Tyron Woodley inside the boxing ring.
The only defeat of his resumé of course came to Tommy Fury in their Saudi Arabia showdown back in February 2023, but Paul has bounced back since with four victories. Three of which have come via knockout. Now, Jake Paul’s next fight is the biggest one of his career yet.
The man standing in the opposite corner to Paul for his next fight is none other than heavyweight boxing great Mike Tyson. The boxing Hall of Famer retired from the sport in 2005, and has only had one exhibition bout since against fellow legend Roy Jones Jr.
Now, ‘Iron Mike’ will take to the ring on November 15th as the man opposite ‘The Problem Child’ in his next fight. The Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson prize money shows both men will earn a share of the $80 million purse, with Paul himself expected to pocket upward of $40m.
Some fans have criticised Jake Paul’s next fight against Mike Tyson, given that Tyson is now 58-years-old and has had various health issues. Yes, Tyson is a lot older and way past his best, but he is one of the greatest heavyweight boxers to ever live. If Jake Paul isn’t at his best, he could get brutally stopped by Tyson.
Could Jake Paul Fight ‘Canelo’ Or Carl Froch In 2025?
Should Jake Paul’s next fight result in a victory over Mike Tyson in Texas, there could be some massive bouts on the horizon in 2025 for ‘The Problem Child’. It is worth noting that the Taylor vs Serrano rematch also takes places on the Paul vs Tyson undercard.
Provided Paul beats Tyson at the AT&T Stadium, which the best boxing betting sites in the UK are expecting him to do as a big favourite, next year could see enormous bouts with some of the biggest names in the sport of boxing.
The likes of Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, former super-middleweight world champion Carl Froch and Tommy Fury have all thrown their name in the hat to fight Jake Paul next year. These names may seem unrealistic, particular ‘Canelo‘ and Froch, but stranger things have happened.
As number one on the list of the most followed boxers in the world, no matter who Jake Paul fights there will be millions of eyeballs on it. The 27-year-old American has also expressed his desire to fight for a WBC World Title, which could come to fruition in the coming years too.
Diehard boxing fans will be relieved that Saudi Arabia boxing chief, His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, has no desire to get involved with Jake Paul in a boxing sense. However, that’s not to say the pair won’t work together in the future.
At the end of the day, Paul is a cash cow and has already worked with leading promoters Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren. Time will tell who the Jake Paul next fight is against after Mike Tyson, and who he will compete against going forward in his boxing career.
