Jake Paul CONFIRMS date for boxing return as YouTube star teases offers to ‘three potential opponents’


JAKE PAUL confirmed he will make his boxing return in February – and has offers going out to three potential opponents.

The YouTuber-turned boxer is coming off the biggest win of his 6-0 career in October, beating 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva.

It was his one and only fight of 2022 and Paul will waste no time in making a quick comeback next year.

He tweeted: “Next fight in February. Offers out tomorrow to 3 potential opponents.”

Paul, 25, has been in talks to fight rival Tommy Fury, 23, following two failed bouts between the pair in the past.

Fury has withdrawn on both occasions, due to a rib injury last December and US visa issue in August.

Paul was ringside in Dubai this month to watch Fury’s last-minute exhibition with Rolly Lambert.

The pair then clashed post-fight and an agreement to reschedule their grudge match was struck.

Global Titans, who promoted Fury’s last fight, revealed they had sent out an offer to Paul.

And Fury tweeted: “NO RESPONSE to my team from @jakepaul in regards to sorting contracts for this fight.

“My last tweet until I have some communication from your side.”

But Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions banner claimed they are still negotiating with Fury’s UK promoter Frank Warren.

MVP responded: “Mr. Fury: Frank & George Warren are not your team anymore? Robert Davis is not your counsel?

“For clarity – MVP has been in daily contact with Queensberry to try and move the fight forward.”
