Jake Paul completely surprised his brother Logan when he unveiled who he would be fighting next.
The internet personality hasn’t boxed since his controversial match with boxing legend Mike Tyson last November.
He was initially aiming for a sensational fight with former pound-for-pound king Canelo Alvarez, but the Mexican star signed a lucrative four-fight deal with Riyadh Season.
Paul quickly changed direction to find a new opponent, and his choice greatly surprised his older brother Logan.
When questioning his brother about his next fight, Logan asked, “Who are you fighting next though? KSI?”.
Jake responded, “I’ve got a fight. Of course, I have a fight.”
“There’s a laundry list of people who want to fight me.”
The Problem Child then whispered the name of his next opponent to his WWE star brother, who exclaimed, “No f***ing way!
“That’s sick. Your secret is safe with me. I’m not telling you. F*****g any one of you in this building could be the mole.”
Jake’s reveal to Logan came after his brother seemed to tease him about the age of his past opponents.
Logan exclaimed, “We don’t fight retired fighters. We fight people our own age, who are just as good as us.”
Jake quietly replied, “Very true.”
It remains unclear who Jake’s next opponent will be, but sources suggest a potential showdown with former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is being considered.
Former Disney star Paul will undoubtedly be looking to vent his frustration from the failed Canelo fight on whoever he faces next.
When asked about his feelings on missing out on the Canelo fight, he said, “Pretty s**t. I feel really bad.”
“We’re literally, we’re verbally agreed, Nakisa [Bidarian] signed the contract with Netflix on our side.”
“It was in their inbox and they’re like, ‘Yeah we’re signing it.’ I’m p****d.”
