After months of health complications, Mike Tyson‘s originally scheduled July fight against Jake Paul was postponed which was music to combat sports fans’ ears.
Despite that, ‘The Problem Child’ went on to knock out BKFC fighter and former UFC star, Mike Perry in the sixth round, preserving his fight against ‘Iron Mike’.
Jake Paul teases fight news as he returns to training
This past November, the 27-year-old picked up a unanimous decision win against the 58-year-old, subsequently breaking modern viewership records with the event performing tremendously on Netflix.
Paul came under heavy criticism both before and after the fight for handpicking someone 31 years his elder, and UFC legend Don Frye even recently admitted that the fight made him sick. However, in typical ‘Problem Child’ fashion, he brushed off all of the hate.
As Paul would’ve wanted, following his win over Tyson, he was called out by several professional boxers, even garnering the interest of the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Artur Beterbiev.
Although the 27-year-old’s next move hasn’t been revealed yet, he has recently teased that he is now back in intense training for his next outing.
“Somethings coming,” Paul captioned on his Instagram story along with several posts of him back in the gym.
In the first clip, the internet sensation turned boxer was seen intensely shadowboxing in the ring before then doing some strength and conditioning work and skipping.
Could Jake Paul be fighting Conor McGregor next?
Bizarrely, it was recently revealed by UFC star, Conor McGregor, that he is in talks to fight Logan Paul in a boxing match in India.
Although the news came as a massive surprise, the news was confirmed to Bloody Elbow by someone close to the situation. ‘The Notorious’ continuously hinted on social media that the fight is happening and will come with a $250m purse.
This past Monday, the WWE made their inaugural appearance on Netflix with that being their new home. As part of the show, Paul cut a promo at the start of the episode, stating he is dedicating his life to WWE from now on, throwing his fight against McGregor in jeopardy.
Since he joined the WWE in 2022, he has not wrestled full-time and has continued with his other endeavors, but that looks to be changing.
“I don’t ‘respect the process’. I’ve never ‘fallen in line’ or ‘waited my turn’, but you know what must really keep you up at night? I’ve been so good at this.
“And now? I’m dedicating my life to this, no more side hustle, no more bulls***. 100 percent WWE superstar,” he continued.
And with that, there is potential that Logan’s brother, Jake, could be in the fray to snipe the boxing fight against McGregor away from his wrestler brother.
