Jake Paul has announced his next fight date, but his opponent will remain a mystery, at least for now.
On Monday, Paul revealed that he will be returning to the ring on Friday, December 15th, in a fight that will air live on DAZN.
“8 fights in the boxing game and I’m already its biggest name,” said Jake Paul via a a press release. “I’ve proved that I can headline the biggest global events and defy the odds. PPV after PPV after PPV, and I’m just getting started. My mission is to be a world champion and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get there. December 15th is the next step on my journey, and I promise you’re not going to want to miss it.”

Paul said that he would name his opponent during Amanda Serrano’s next fight on October 27th.
During a recent podcast appearance, Paul said that he wants to take a more traditional boxing route instead of fighting MMA fighers/influencers in the hopes of fighting for a world championship someday.
“I want to take this more traditional boxing route of moving up into the rankings, fighting professionals, and taking the route to become world champion. Like the prospect of my caliber would be doing. We’re looking at some pro boxers, and they’re not gonna be big names. I want to challenge myself, continue to grow in this sport and get to the top of it.”
Considering that Tommy Fury and KSI just fought this weekend, and it appears highly unlikely that he will be fighting either of those two.
