Jake Paul wants to fight Deontay Wilder next. The controversial boxer also has his eye on Anthony Joshua as he tries to climb the boxing ladder.
Paul's team has made it clear they're ready to face Wilder. Malik Scott, Wilder's former trainer, shared some insights about their interest.
"They say it with such certainty that you know it's not false confidence. They really believe they can beat Wilder."
Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's business partner, confirmed their interest in the Wilder fight to Scott at a New York event.
Paul's ambition doesn't stop there. He's also considering a fight with Anthony Joshua. Saudi Arabian promoter Turki Alalshikh has shown interest in setting up this matchup.
Robert Garcia, Joshua's former trainer for the Oleksandr Usyk rematch, shared his thoughts on the potential Paul-Joshua fight.
"From the business side, it would be a great fight. But I would rather see him fight Wilder or Fury."
Garcia believes Joshua should focus on fights that add to his legacy, not just his bank account.
Paul has been making waves in the boxing world. He recently defeated former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by unanimous decision. This win has fueled his desire to test himself against bigger names in the sport.
Wilder, known for his powerful punches, has also returned to winning ways. He scored a seventh-round knockout against Tyrrell Herndon in his last fight.
Joshua now faces a choice. He can enter the rotation of fights with Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, or consider a multi-million dollar bout with Jake Paul.
The boxing world watches with interest as these potential matchups take shape. Paul's ambition and the established boxers' legacies will play key roles in determining who steps into the ring next.
