Jake Paul set for career change that is ‘not easy to do’ after controversial Mike Tyson boxing fight

JAKE PAUL is in line for a career change that is “not easy to do” after his boxing fight with Mike Tyson.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer, 27, faces heavyweight great Tyson, 58, on November 15 in a clash that has attracted controversy over the age gap.

But Paul is also primed to make his MMA debut next year after signing a deal with the Professional Fighters League.

PFL CEO Peter Murray revealed the American could cross over from the ring to the cage right after fighting Tyson.

He told Sportskeeda: “Yeah, we’re lining it up.

“Obviously, Jake is finishing up boxing this year, with this massive fight against Mike Tyson.

“Then a lot of planning is going into Jake Paul’s debut in 2025 and we’ll be sharing those details after Jake gets in the ring with Mike Tyson and we lay out our schedule for Super Fights next year.”

Paul is 10-1 as a boxer with his only defeat coming against Tommy Fury in February 2023 – a month before signing with the PFL.

And the PFL publicly offered Fury £15m to rematch Paul in the ring before a trilogy bout in the cage.

The 2019 Love Island star – who recently split with Molly-Mae Hague – has since called out Paul to an MMA bout.

Murray meanwhile promised that Paul’s debut MMA opponent will be a notable one.

He said: “Plenty of options and Jake is committed to fighting a very, very credible, well-rounded MMA fighter, and [it’s] not easy to do.

“It’s not easy to cross over from boxing into MMA. You know, the crossover from MMA or other disciplines into boxing is a lot easier.”
