The DAZN Boxing Show discussed who Jake Paul should next face in the ring.

Ak and Barak considered who the triumphant Jake Paul should fight should he get back to boxing.

The 24-year-old YouTuber defeated Tyron Woodley in his toughest fight yet to move onto a 4-0 professional record.

He has since tweeted that he has now retired, but a fight with Tommy Fury has been mooted over the past two months, with the Briton in possession of a two-fight deal in America.

Speaking on the DAZN Boxing Show, Barak Bess said: Jake Paul's next opponent should be Tommy Fury.

“I know probably people saying Tyron Woodley It was a close fight but but I think that so many people are complaining that Jake Paul is... not fighting any boxers. 

“Let's throw him in there with a boxer, a boxer that has three years of pro experience. Jake always says he has three years experience even though he's only been a pro for a year and a half. 

“He'd been training for a while because he had one amateur fight and they're both entry level. Fury is 7-0 but they both have something in common. They both have fought four fighters that have zero wins, so that they are kind of at the same point in their career and Tommy Fury is finally somebody that's closer to him.

“Jake fights at 190, Tommy fights at 180. Jake is 6'1" Tommy is 6'0", we can't complain about that. I don't know where they'll meet but I think it'd be a better fight.”

Akin ‘Ak’ Reyes, however, argued for a rematch with Woodley, even if he acknowledged Paul might not be interested.

“If he were to fight again I think that the fight and the opponent should be Tyron Woodley,” he began.

“I think it was a good enough fight and there's still more to prove, but it seems like Jake, he doesn't want to receive any more punches and fight anymore, because he put out a tweet saying he retired.”
