Jake Paul intends to “test the limits of what’s possible” in his boxing profession, his promotional companion Nakisa Bidarian tells Sky Sports activities.
Paul rose to appreciable fame as a YouTuber and has courted additional consideration in his 12-fight skilled boxing profession.
He has misplaced as soon as, to Tommy Fury, and most not too long ago outpointed 58-year-old Mike Tyson over eight two-minute rounds.
The Mike Tyson struggle was sanctioned as a professional bout in Texas and stuffed the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, in addition to drawing an unlimited international broadcast viewers.
Paul’s enthusiasm for boxing and his affect on the game reveals no indicators of abating.
Bidarian, who co-founded Most Useful Promotions with Paul, mentioned his subsequent transfer will likely be determined within the coming weeks.
“He has plenty of options. He’s going to take a few days off and then we’re going to sit down next week with him, his advisers, his coaches and determine the next steps,” Bidarian instructed Sky Sports activities.
“This was an opportunity to grab the world’s attention and remind them why this is such a beautiful sport. Jake played a major part in doing that in his match against Mike Tyson and strategically we positioned Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano right before them.
“When it comes to what’s subsequent for Jake – no matter he desires it to be, to be trustworthy.”
Paul is nearly unignorable, and high-profile fighters have pressed publicly for a struggle with him.
“He’s been called out by Daniel Dubois. He’s been called out by Artur Beterbiev. He’s been called out by Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia, by about 400 other boxers that most of us have never heard of,” Bidarian mentioned.
The prospect of Paul boxing Britain’s Daniel Dubois, the IBF heavyweight champion of the world no much less, who spectacularly knocked out Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in September, appears far-fetched.
However the concept seems to have come from Dubois himself.
“He was on Jake Paul’s undercard in August of 2021,” Bidarian mentioned of Dubois. “When Jake got that DM, he sent it to me and said: ‘How funny is this, how the world has turned.'”
Bidarian argued that it may result in one thing.
“Jake’s feedback to me was I want to do that fight. Not now. But I want to do that fight,” he mentioned.
“To be a world champion at cruiserweight, he wants to do that. The other is to test the limits of expectations. Test the limits of what’s possible.
“This occasion with Mike Tyson, that examined the bounds of what was potential for the world to see and him combating Anthony Joshua or Daniel Dubois is type of the identical factor.
“Jake weighed in at 227lbs but really he walks around at 215. But he’ll do it for the right environment, the right framework,” he added.
“It isn’t about the money. He’s made lots of money from the time he was 18 years old. It’s really about disruption.
“It is actually about doing issues that make you say: ‘Wow, that basically occurred.’ That is what excites us.”
