Challengers are lining up to be the next fighter to take on Jake Paul after Anthony Joshua.
It is no secret that Jake Paul fights are some of the most lucrative in boxing history.
The purse for Paul's last bout against Mike Tyson was rumoured to be about $80 million. "I'm here to make $40 million and knock out a legend," Jake Paul said before the figure seems to be growing with each fight.
His bout against two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is rumoured to be almost $200 million. Although the exact figure isn't public knowledge it was enough to lure the Brit into fighting the influencer turned boxer just 14 months after going head to head with Daniel Dubois for the IBF heavyweight title - a significant step down in quality.
It is therefore no surprise to see a hoard of famous faces and big names in the fighting scene lining up for a shot at the "The Problem Child".
We take a look at who could be Jake Paul's next opponent.

Jake Paul Next Fight: Who Could He Face After Anthony Joshua?
Jake Paul vs KSI
A potential fight between Jake Paul and KSI remains one of the biggest crossover boxing events still left on the table. The long-running rivalry dates back to the early YouTube boxing boom, with unresolved tension after Logan Paul’s bouts with KSI and Jake’s win over Deji. While promotional politics have delayed the matchup, Jake Paul vs KSI would deliver massive global interest and remains a realistic next fight if Paul pivots back toward entertainment-driven boxing.
Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor
Jake Paul vs Conor McGregor would be one of the most talked-about boxing crossover fights of all time, pairing two of combat sports’ most polarising figures. Despite McGregor’s inactivity and UFC contractual barriers, the commercial appeal of the matchup is undeniable. Paul has repeatedly called out the former UFC champion, and if the politics align, this remains a blockbuster option for Paul’s next fight.
Jake Paul vs Terence Crawford
A fight between Jake Paul and Terence Crawford would represent Paul’s boldest step into elite-level boxing. Paul has confirmed discussions were close before opting to fight Anthony Joshua, while Crawford’s recent retirement announcement may not be permanent. If so, Jake Paul vs Terence Crawford would attract huge attention as a clash between a pound-for-pound great and boxing’s most disruptive figure.

Jake Paul vs Tyson Fury
Jake Paul vs Tyson Fury would be a heavyweight spectacle. Paul’s loss to Fury’s half-brother Tommy adds fuel to the storyline, while Fury’s global profile ensures enormous commercial value. If Paul emerges credibly from the Anthony Joshua fight, a showdown with the former heavyweight champion could become a serious talking point.
Jake Paul vs Oleksandr Usyk (MMA)
Jake Paul vs Oleksandr Usyk in MMA is a unique crossover that could materialise after Usyk’s boxing career ends. Paul is signed with the PFL and has openly challenged the undisputed heavyweight champion to a cage fight. While unlikely in the short term, the bout offers a compelling long-term angle blending elite boxing pedigree with Paul’s ambition in mixed martial arts.
Jake Paul vs Alex Pereira
Jake Paul has identified UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira as a dream opponent, with a potential boxing match gaining traction amid Dana White’s upcoming Zuffa Boxing venture. Pereira’s striking background and knockout reputation make him a credible and marketable opponent. If UFC barriers ease, Jake Paul vs Alex Pereira could become one of the most intriguing crossover fights available.
Jake Paul vs Canelo Alvarez
Jake Paul vs Canelo Alvarez remains the ultimate superfight on Paul’s wishlist. The bout was previously discussed before Canelo committed to a Riyadh Season deal, and Saudi backing could revive negotiations in the future. While a major sporting mismatch, the commercial appeal of Paul facing one of boxing’s biggest stars would make it one of the most watched events in the sport.
