Jake Paul can establish himself as the undisputed biggest influencer-boxer around this year, and all eyes are on who he could fight next.
The Problem Child endured a mixed 2023, having suffered a first defeat before roaring back with two huge wins to take his record to 8-1.

In December, Paul stretched his own highlight reel by securing a brutal first-round uppercut knockout win over Andre August.
That victory followed up an explosive performance against UFC legend Nate Diaz as Paul continued his comeback from defeat to Tommy Fury.
He is now on the lookout for his next opponent, with several options possible.
Jake Paul next fight: Is his opponent confirmed?
No, Paul’s next opponent has not yet been confirmed.
KSI was the obvious choice for Paul’s opponent, but their grudge match is unlikely to take place on another fighter’s undercard.
The Brit is one of the original ‘influencer boxers’, along with Paul and the pair appear to have been on a collision course to face each other ever since they both set foot in the ring.

Talks between the camps have taken place in the past, but KSI’s manager Mams Taylor has claimed any bout must take place at 180lb – over a stone from Paul’s weight.
Taylor told SunSport: “The reality is, I think they both have so much to lose it has to be fair and it has to be uncomfortable.
“KSI is not comfortable at 180, Jake is not comfortable at 180 either.
“It’s like the art of negotiating something in meditation, you both walk away not feeling great but not feeling bad about the deal you’ve done.
“And if they’re both prepared to do that then I think we’ll have a fight.”
But according to reports in America, Paul’s camp are locked in negotiations with Ryan Bourland.
The experienced fighter holds a 17-2 record and will represent a step up for Paul.
Paul himself revealed his next opponent is a pro boxer with a better record than his previous rival August, and has also won regional titles.

That rules out a potential rematch with Tyson Fury’s brother Tommy, but does leave Bourland as a likely pick.
Jake Paul next fight: When will it happen?
Paul has confirmed he will fight on Amanda Serrano’s undercard in Puerto Rico on March 2.
This is a big homecoming fight for Serrano as she faces Nina Meinke.
And Paul will be in action that evening as well.
The American made the announcement on X, formerly Twitter.
He said: “Guess who’s back 🙂 … Jake already?
“Yes, I’m on a mission… But this one is much bigger than me. This one is for the greatest Puerto Rican boxer ever, Amanda Serrano. This one is for the people of Puerto Rico, from the Choliseo to the world.
“This one is for all of boxing to see how powerful women are in this sport and for Wanna Walton to usher in his superstar boxing future in front of 20,000 people.
