JAKE PAUL has confirmed he will return to the ring for his next boxing fight on March 2 in Puerto Rico.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer also declared that Tommy Fury ignored the rematch offer he made three weeks ago.
Paul, 26, stated on X that his team sent two contracts out on Tuesday.
He wrote: “Let’s see which of the two potential opponents accepts first.”
No competitor has been officially named to take on the YouTube sensation.
But one of them is thought to be Indian boxer Neeraj Goyat, 32, who called Paul out on Instagram last month.

He shared Goyat’s reel on his Instagram story along with a request to the noted boxing promoters, ‘Most Valuable Promotions’ to make the fight happen.
Goyat has a record of 18-4-2 and normally weighs between 144lbs and 147lbs when fighting.
Meanwhile, Paul also posted on X about an offer made to Fury, who he claims has remained silent.
The pair first fought in February last year and Fury survived a final round knockdown to beat Paul by split decision.

This marked the first and only defeat to date of Paul’s fledgling boxing career.
Since then, he bounced back in the summer with a points victory over UFC veteran Nate Diaz, 38.
Paul returned to score a first-round knockout of Andre August on December 15.
August, who first turned professional back in 2013, represented only the second legitimate boxer the online superstar has faced in his four-year career as a fighter.
Paul said: “I said I’d get first-round knockout all week, I manifested this, and I said I need to bring back the old Problem Child.”
