After his knockout loss against former unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua on Friday, Jake Paul is looking for advice on what’s next.
Paul posted a series of photos from the fight on Instagram and wrote in the caption that he plans to continue his boxing career in the cruiserweight division, asking fans who they think his next opponent should be.
“Great experience. I love this sport. Time to rest, recover and return to cruiserweight,” Paul wrote. “Who do you want to see me fight?”
It’s likely that Paul will be out of the ring for a while, as his jaw was broken in two places when Joshua knocked him out in the sixth round of their main-event fight in Miami on Netflix. He announced that he underwent successful surgery on Saturday.
Prior to his fight against Joshua, Paul told B/R that he was interested in pursuing a championship at cruiserweight and named Noel Mikaelian as a potential option. Mikaelian defeated Badou Jack to win the WBC cruiserweight title earlier this month, so he could be Paul’s next target.
B/R’s Tom Taylor suggested that Paul’s future fights could be rematches against former UFC stars Nate Diaz and Anderson Silva, or even an MMA fight against current unified heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
