Jake Paul After Tommy Fury Loss: What’s Next for Jake Paul? PFL MMA, Tommy Fury Rematch, and More
Jake Paul next fight: PFL MMA or Tommy Fury rematch?
While Paul and Fury verbally agreed to the immediate rematch, the American has a few options. He recently signed a deal with PFL MMA to create the Super-fight division. And Paul claimed he would make his MMA debut this year. Therefore, we could very well see Jake Paul in the octagon.
There are several names who Paul could meet in the octagon if he wanted to switch to MMA. However, since he lost to Fury, Paul has unfinished business. Had ‘The Problem Child’ won, maybe we would see him switch to compete in MMA. However, he will probably push for an immediate rematch.
There is also the option of facing someone else in the ring before the rematch with Fury. The first meeting between the two took 3 attempts and it would be no surprise if they struggle to strike a deal for the rematch. Moreover, Paul has his eyes set on fighting KSI. And although he said fighting KSI is just a side quest, ‘The Problem Child’ would definitely like to finish that chapter once and for all.
So, the most likely next step for Jake Paul after the Tommy Fury loss is to rematch Fury. The fight would have another great build-up and could fetch better numbers. And ultimately provide Jake Paul with the chance of redemption.
