Jake Paul is once again one of the most talked about figures in boxing after his fight against a 58-year-old Mike Tyson drew 70,000 spectators to AT&T Stadium in Dallas.
There was no surprise that Paul got a comfortable win over an opponent 31 years his senior, and as ever, focus is already turning towards what is next for 'The Problem Child'
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez, Carl Froch and Tony Bellew are some of the names linked with Paul, but there is one combat sports star who has distanced himself from a possible bout.

Francis Ngannou, an ex-UFC champion, and now the PFL Super Fights heavyweight titleholder, is a sought after talent in boxing despite losing both his professional boxing outings.
But while the French-Cameroonian star is eager to continue his boxing career, one person he will not be facing will be Paul, suggesting it would diminish his credibility.
"Come on, like, respect me a little bit," Ngannou told TMZ Sports. "If this is not entertainment, I do not know what you are looking for.
"It was entertaining, whether you like it or not. There was a curiosity to see Mike Tyson at this age; can he stand? Can he, can he? And they did entertain."
Ngannou made a successful return to MMA last month when he beat 2023 PFL heavyweight champion Renan Ferreira in the first round of their bout in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The Cameroonian's next move is uncertain, but he will have a keen eye on the 2024 PFL heavyweight title bout between Denis Goltsov and Oleg Popov which takes place November 29, and will be broadcast in a number of regions on DAZN.
