Social influencer and boxer Jake Paul has announced plans for another fight on December 15th, mentioning opponents such as KSI and Tommy Fury, as he continues his pursuit of becoming a world champion.
Jake Paul, the social influencer turned boxer, has announced plans for an upcoming fight before the end of 2023. The fight is scheduled for December 15th, with the card set to be aired on DAZN pay-per-view. Although Paul did not disclose his opponent, he mentioned KSI and Tommy Fury as potential matchups after watching his brother Logan Paul’s recent fight.
In a press release, Paul declared, “8 fights in the boxing game and I’m already its biggest name. I’ve proved that I can headline the biggest global events and defy the odds. PPV after PPV after PPV, and I’m just getting started. My mission is to be a world champion, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. December 15th is the next step on my journey, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss it.”
Paul’s most recent fight was in August, where he secured a unanimous decision victory over UFC veteran Nate Diaz. This win marked his comeback after his first career loss to Tommy Fury in a split decision loss in February. Following the Misfits Boxing card over the past weekend, Paul wasted no time in calling for a rematch with Fury, who had won a majority decision against KSI in the main event.
Regarding the potential rematch, Paul confidently stated, “The Tommy Fury rematch is right there. Tommy’s going to want that payday. Payday, Tommy. But knowing where I’m going, my improvement, my new team that I have, my new mindset and elevating every single day in the boxing gym, from what I saw in Tommy, I know in the rematch I’m going to beat that guy. I’m going to show ya’ll how to take a loss, come back, win against Nate Diaz, and win again when it’s time to put it all on the line.”
Although Paul also expressed his desire for a potential fight with KSI, with whom he has had a long-standing rivalry, no specific details were given. As the December date approaches, it is likely that Paul will soon announce his opponent.
