Jake Paul may still be healing from the broken jaw he suffered at the hands of Anthony Joshua in his last outing, but Paul still intends to resume his professional fighting career inside the ring. Speaking to Sky Sports, Paul says that while he wouldn’t really consider himself a heavyweight boxer there’s at least one more heavyweight he’d be willing to take on in Francis Ngannou — and it’s a fight that Paul believes would be relatively straightforward one for him to rebound.
“I wouldn’t say there’s
a long list of opponents [for his next fight]. I think most recently Francis Ngannou was talking a lot of smack. He is an easy fight for me,” Paul told Sky Sports News. “I’ll go back up to heavyweight and knock him out like Joshua did, render him unconscious. He knows I lasted longer than him against Joshua. I didn’t get put out.”
Paul would continue on by suggesting he’s not certain that Ngannou would be willing to face him in a boxing match because he believes it would be too embarrassing for him to lose, but it’s a fight he’s targeting anyway as it would make for another big event with recognizable names.
In the meanwhile, however, Paul still has to deal with his road to recovery as he looks to get medical clearance to resume full boxing activities.
