Daniel Dubois appears to be a fighter with plenty of options in front of him due to his status as current IBF heavyweight champion, but could Jake Paul be his next foe?
After destroying Anthony Joshua in five rounds in September , the star has been linked to numerous fights including the Briton, Oleksandr Usyk and Joseph Parker.
But another potential bout could well be Paul after the YouTuber-turned-fighter posted on social media a message seemingly sent from the current heavyweight ruler.
The Problem Child was back in action this past weekend when he fought in front of a huge crowd in Texas against the legendary Mike Tyson, taking a points victory.

The fight, which split opinion within the boxing community, saw Paul dominate after a slow start, and he was declared the winner by unanimous decision
With the 27-year-old another fighter constantly speculated to be taking in part in huge events, is a bout against Dubois a realistic possibility?
“Hi Jake. Good business on the weekend,” said the beginning of the message which looks like it was sent from Dubois’ account.
“How would you feel fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world. This is Daniel Dubois calling you out. Let’s get it on.”
It’s unknown whether the message was a serious offer, but there’s no doubting that Paul is making a big splash in the boxing world after also being tagged by light-heavyweight champion, Artur Beterbiev.
