Jake Paul has recently teased a significant boxing announcement slated for the upcoming year, igniting excitement among his fans who are eager to speculate on what it could entail.
Transition Towards MMA?
Before Jake Paul faced off against the legendary Mike Tyson, PFL CEO Peter Murray indicated that this matchup would mark the end of Paul’s boxing ventures. While this does not imply a retirement, it hints that the social media sensation may shift his focus towards Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) instead.
Since his victory over Tyson, Paul has been inundated with fight offers from a wide array of boxing champions and even some iconic figures in the sport. Although he hasn’t made any concrete announcements, he has begun to hint at a “big announcement” for boxing set to occur in January.
Big announcement in January. Boxing.

Buzz Around a Potential KSI Showdown
Paul’s December 19 tweet has sparked considerable interest, with fans buzzing about the possibility of a long-anticipated fight against fellow YouTuber KSI. Many jested about the prospect of Paul facing yet another veteran boxer, but it was a tweet from Paul’s fight promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions, that truly stoked the flames of speculation.
The promotional tweet posed a provocative question: “If Jake Paul vs. KSI at 185lbs can only happen when Jake Paul receives $100M… Who wins at that weight?” This query led many to believe that the highly awaited superfight could soon become a reality.
