Ak and Barak discuss who Jake Paul should face next on The DAZN Boxing Show.

Following his knockout win against Tyron Woodley on Saturday night, Jake Paul wasted no time in revealing who he would like to face next.

During the post fight press conference, the 24-year-old called out three UFC stars, Kamaru Usman, Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor, but can any of these fights be made?

When discussing Paul's future, Barak gave credit to Paul for these aspirations on the latest instalment of The DAZN Boxing Show, but questioned whether he could still pull in a huge audience.

"He [Jake Paul] asked for Usman, can we give him a little bit of credit for that," Barak said.

"I need him to fight a boxer, but if he fights those top UFC guys will he still have an audience?"

Ak was quick to jump to Paul's defence when it came drawing interest for a potential fight with Usman. 

"I mean absolutely, Usman of course he’d get credit for that Barak," Ak stated.

"The guy has only had five fights. He has had five professional fights with only two years of boxing experience.

"In our head to make ourselves feel better, we want to see him against a boxer who’s only boxed before.

"Tommy Fury doesn’t have years of experience in the sport of boxing. So is it just a technicality because a guy hasn’t fought in a MMA cage, therefore Jake Paul should fight him because he hasn’t been in a cage."

However, if Paul does want to continue making an impact in the sport of boxing, Ak believes he will need face an experienced boxer at some point. 

"Yes, eventually if he wants to continue to grow in the sport and maybe fight to be a contender for a title, we need to seem against more experienced boxers.

"But Usman, Masvidal, McGregor, any of those guys are incredible fighters even in a boxing ring."
