Jake Paul Still Aiming For MMA Fight In PFL, Suggests Usyk
Briefly

Jake Paul, transitioning from influencer to professional boxer, plans to fulfill his promise of competing in MMA with the Professional Fighters League (PFL). Despite a lucrative deal signed in early 2023, Paul continues to focus on boxing matches without a set date for his MMA debut. He expressed enthusiasm about testing his skills in the cage, potentially against high-profile opponents like Oleksandr Usyk, who has shown interest in fighting Paul in a future bout. Paul upcoming fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on June 28, indicates his multi-faceted combat sports aspiration.
I want to be like Holly (Holm) here; test my skills in the cage. That's something I'm super, super interested in. It would be a very, very big spectacle.
Nate Diaz is still ducking... Find the right opponent. Usyk, maybe.
Usyk has called out Jake Paul multiple times in MMA. They've been in touch with us behind the scenes saying they want to do that fight in 2026.
It's something that we definitely want to pursue.
