I think it could happen end of next year or early 2026.”But when the timing’s right, we’re gonna just go for it and see what happens. “I think it also depends on like the Tommy Fury fight and any other big name fights that come up. “There’s discussions with some other big names behind the scenes. So it really just depends on how those conversations go. “That’s why I think end of next year or early 2026 we’ll start to like target a sanctioning body and then just go up the rankings.”Jake Paul wants to rematch Tommy FuryCredit: GettyMike Tyson returns to boxing to fight Jake PaulCredit: EPA More

Paul has boasted about making $40m (£31m) alone for the fight – which marks Netflix’s first move into live boxing. And that will shoot his overall earnings to $100m (£75m) for the man who just six years ago was the star of Disney Channel show Bizaardvark.
