YouTube sensation Jake Paul finally suffered the first loss of his professional boxing career at the hands of former reality show star Tommy Fury. The British boxer beat ‘The Problem Child’ in a close split decision victory following their highly anticipated bout back in February. Following the bout, there were many questions arising as to who Paul will face next.

The first option for Paul is to face Fury in a rematch and activate the clause in their contract or pick out a new opponent. In addition, YouTuber KSI‘s manager revealed that he was in talks with Paul’s camp and was eyeing a bout between the two rivals this year.

However, it looks like the 26-year-old will go with the former option as TalkSPORT’s journalist Michael Benson revealed that Paul’s camp is setting up a rematch with Fury this July. Although the details of this are unconfirmed and the bout is far from booked, talks between the two sides have begun. Despite this, the fans were quick to warn Paul to not make any rash decisions.

A user named Eric Kyriazis hilariously stated that this was not enough time for Paul to learn how to box.

Another user named MR claimed that although Paul would study Fury and learn his weaknesses, the latter will do the same resulting in a repeat of the first bout.

However, a user named @OrexL wanted to see three fights between the two. He then suggested that the second fight be fixed in favor of Paul, to set up a trilogy.

Lastly, a user named @raulaholic claimed that Paul was fighting way more than professional boxers who are notorious for not being active.

While some fans commended Paul’s hard work, others suggested he fight KSI next. The comments section of this post was filled with the majority of people not wanting to see Jake Paul vs Tommy Fury II, instead, they wanted ‘The Problem Child’ to take up a tune-up fight before running it against the British boxer. Meanwhile, a small portion of fans was also excited to see the rematch between these two.

What do you think Paul’s next move should be? Should he take up a fight with KSI or other boxers before fighting Tommy ‘TNT’? Let us know in the comments below.
