Jake Paul returns to action this weekend when he faces Mike Tyson in a fight that has the entire world talking about what may go down.
If successful, it’s likely that Paul will step into another huge contest in 2025, but who could be next in line for the popular YouTuber?
Here, DAZN looks at a number of boxers that could oppose Paul next year.
Tommy Fury 2
Tommy Fury may have beaten Jake Paul when they met in 2023 , but it’s a rivalry that exists, and both men would be eager to settle their differences for a second time.
Fury had to climb off the canvas to register a points win over ‘The Problem Child’ and there was a nice competitiveness throughout that suggested that these two could take part in further fights.
Could Paul improve enough to finally score a win over his long-time foe? Or is Fury that individual that Paul just can’t get past?
A sequel to their first meeting could answer those questions if they were to collide again in 2025.

KSI
(Wasserman Boxing)
KSI holds a win over Jake Paul’s brother, Logan, and that would likely serve as the backdrop for a potential fight between the online masters.
The Londoner has not fought since he was controversially beaten by Tommy Fury at the backend of 2023, but a return against Paul would do huge business.
Both fighters have huge followings, and with each man improving in the fight game, who would emerge victorious?
Amir Khan
The former super-lightweight champion has not fought since he was badly beaten by Kell Brook during a bad-tempered clash at the beginning of 2022.
Since that loss, Khan has been linked to multiple comeback fights and one that gathered momentum was a potential showdown with KSI .
That demonstrates that Khan could be willing to entertain fights against popular influencers and a big battle with Paul could be the direction he moves in next year.
Canelo Alvarez

Paul has forecasted a fight with Canelo Alvarez since entering the boxing world, but would the Mexican be a realistic option at this stage?
Paul struggled at times with Tommy Fury and a step up to Canelo could be disastrous as long as the current super-middleweight ruler is close to his best.
The bout would generate global interest due to the popularity of both and the money on offer would be astronomical for the pair, but as a sporting contest, this would be horribly one-sided.
Tony Bellew
The Liverpool fighter, a former cruiserweight world champion, has not held back when discussing Paul in the past.
Since retiring from boxing in 2018 after a loss to Oleksandr Usyk, Bellew was originally pondering a return to bridgerweight in 2023.
That move never materialised, but it still showed that the fighting spirit was very much within him and that could potentially resurface again if a big money contest against Paul could be made.
