Jake Paul isn't letting a recent loss keep him down. He's eyeing a new challenge, setting his sights on a possible boxing match against Francis Ngannou. After suffering a defeat to Anthony Joshua in Miami, where he faced a sixth-round stoppage and ended up with a severely broken jaw, Paul's looking for redemption.
Paul's bout with Joshua left him needing surgical repairs with titanium plates. Despite the setback, he remains determined. On his "IMPAULSIVE" podcast, he candidly said,
"It's not that hard to get your a** beat."He admitted to rushing his preparation and missing crucial altitude training before facing Joshua.
There's been talk between Jake and his brother Logan Paul about these aspirations where Logan interpreted Jake's comments as a challenge to Ngannou. Jokingly or perhaps seriously, Logan remarked, "That means he could beat Francis." While it might stir some controversy among fans and analysts debating the potential fight between the YouTuber-turned-boxer and a former UFC heavyweight champion like Ngannou, Jake believes he's got what it takes.
Francis Ngannou faced Anthony Joshua himself earlier in March 2024 but couldn't go past the second round. Historically hesitant toward boxing matches involving crossover stars like Paul, Ngannou previously dismissed fighting Jake Paul during interviews.
While recovering from injury and plotting his next career steps, Jake Paul's ambition for another chance in the ring feels unyielding. Whether it's revisiting unfinished business with Joshua or gauging interest in pitting himself against Ngannou remains intriguing for combat sports fans. If these plans move ahead, expect Netflix to capture every punch.
