Jake Paul's win over Tyson marked his third victory in 2024. The 27-year-old American is enjoying great form and could be looking to further increase his boxing record coming 2025.
Jake Paul seems to be paving the way for a high-profile fight in 2025. Some boxing analysts and pundits believe a second fight with Tommy Fury is more than possible.

Fury and Paul faced each other back in 2023, where Fury narrowly won the fight by points. It would be a formidable matchup for the American and a true test of his boxing abilities.
In search of a rival within the YouTube 'realm'? It's been done before, where popular media influencers like KSI and Logan Paul have faced each other in the ring.
Olajide Olayinka Williams, also known as KSI, could be Jake Paul's next rival in the ring, following his narrow victory over his brother Logan Paul.
Another possible rival for Paul would be Amir Khan. The 37-year-old fighter could be a solid matchup for the American, as Khan continues his post-retirement influencers matchups.
However, there is one name that is getting boxing fans rattled up, and that is Canelo Alvarez. Paul has expressed interest in fighting Alvarez numerous times, claiming it would be a "dream match".
"What's next? Canelo. He needs me. This moment proves that I'm the face of boxing, the biggest attraction. Me against Canelo at 200 lbs for the world cruiserweight championship is the biggest fight, possibly even bigger than me against Tyson," shared Jake Paul during a press conference.
The Mexican fighter did not hesitate to respond back, claiming, "It's not good for boxing. It's good that Netflix is involved, but not in that kind of fight. I think it's more of a show than a fight. That's what I think," said Canelo when he was asked about a possible fight against Paul.
Every potential fight, whether it be Fury, KSI, or Canelo, promises to be a great show. Paul's boxing evolution is visible and his ability to fight is there. But could he hang in the ring with someone like Canelo Alvarez? Let us know what you think in the comments!
