NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MARCH 26: Jake Paul attends the premiere of “Paul American” at Tempo by Hilton … More
Jake Paul is looking for a fight.
After his huge bout with Canelo Alvarez fell through last month, he has pivoted. Paul called out former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, but that’s not a fight he’d be able to have anytime soon, considering Joshua is likely already plugged into something in September.
Paul took to social media on Thursday to call for a rematch with Tommy Fury, the only man who owns a win over him. Paul’s offer–$4 million–is nothing to sneeze at and likely dwarfs what Fury was offered—and turned down—in his canceled fight with Darren Till earlier this year.
Paul seemingly wants the rematch with Fury to take place in the United States, but he has a contingency offer in place for the younger brother of the legendary Tyson Fury. In their first fight, Fury won a split decision over Paul, with two of the judges scoring the fight 76-73 in his favor and one judge scoring it 75-74 for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

While Paul may have run into some impediments in his pursuit of a major fight against legends like Canelo and Joshua, he still has a wealth of options for his next fight. Fighting Paul still equates to a major payday for anyone involved, and offers like the one he just publicly offered to Fury are proof.
While Paul could fight Fury next, it won’t stop his pursuit of a bout against a more established, unquestioned pillar of boxing.
According to longtime journalist Dan Rafael, Paul had discussions about an exhibition match with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis before Tank battled Lamont Roach Jr. to a draw on March 1.
Now, Davis and Roach are seemingly locked in for a pay-per-view rematch later this year. Another strong option for Paul could be a fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
While Chavez Jr. is no longer a world-class fighter, he does have considerable notoriety because of his lineage and his in-ring accomplishments, including a run as a legitimate world champion.
A fight with someone like Fury or Chavez Jr. could wind up being Paul’s requisite next step before he gets a chance to prove what he can do against the sport’s most respected champions like Canelo, Joshua, and even Davis.
Here is a look at the complete list of results for all of Paul’s professional boxing matches.
