Paul has been hunting for a match for a long time now, and thus he is calling out the prominent contenders for a staggering event. Notably, there is a probability of 3 such fighters he might fight in August 2022.
The potential contenders for Jake Paul
There is a list of contenders who Jake Paul aims to fight, but among many, there are three fighters in particular who Paul is constantly targeting.
My boxing bucket list:
1) Canelo Alvarez
2) Floyd Mayweather
3) Mike Tyson
4) Tyson Furry
5) Dana White— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 23, 2021
Jake Paul doesn’t care about the dynamics and format of the game, but instead, he is just hungry to have a brawl and enhance his record in combat sports.
#1 Mike Tyson
Recently, ‘The Problem Child‘ has been in talks with Mike Tyson for a bout. Although he hasn’t directly provoked Tyson, he made his intentions to fight him evident on several occasions.
However, Tyson has a tremendous demand of over $1 billion to face the YouTuber turned boxer, and subsequently, it’s a task for the promoters to gather in such a hefty amount in the pot.
#2 Tommy Fury
Paul aims to fight on a ‘TNT’ who hasn’t lost a fight in his career. Significantly, he is targeting Fury to not only improve his professional record but also widen his fanbase and garner fame in the boxing fraternity.
On the other hand, Tommy Fury is not making first contact. He believes that if Paul wants a match, he must approach Fury upfront.
#3 Conor McGregor
McGregor and Paul have been roasting each other constantly. However, while McGregor is not showing any interest from his side for a match, Paul cannot be calm when it comes to a fight with ‘The Notorious”.
The constant beef between the two entertaining fighters makes Conor McGregor the most potential fighter to face Paul in his comeback match.
He also approached Dana White to sign a contract for their match. But White isn’t in the favor of any such event as he is considering the dynamics and certain rules of the game.

On the contrary, Paul has agreed to cut down his weight, so that he is viable to contest against the Irishman and there are no obligations.
It’s a question for the boxing fraternity to know who will face Jake Paul in his next match.
