The brutal stoppage has Paul sidelined for the time being, with many suggesting he should bow out of the sport completely.<\/p>\n

Although ‘The Problem Child’ remains insistent that he plans to return to the ring next year.<\/p>\n

As speculation grows over who he will face next, MVP co-founder Bidarian revealed that an old foe is still weighing on Paul’s mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He explained to TMZ Sports: “Look, he wants to come back. We haven’t talked about a timeline, but he wants to come back in 2026.<\/p>\n

“He put out a post that says ‘I love this time to like recover back to cruiserweight, who do you want to see me fight?’<\/p>\n

“So I believe that to be the case, but I also want him to get through the holidays, feel a little bit better and then have the conversation with him.<\/p>\n

“There’s no need to rush in terms of what’s next. Tommy Fury<\/a> is a loss that he wants to avenge.<\/p>\n

“Do I want to pursue the Tommy Fury fight next from an MVP perspective? No, because I don’t believe Tommy Fury is reliable.<\/p>\n

“But ultimately it’s Jake’s call, just like Anthony Joshua was Jake’s call.<\/p>\n

“So we’ll speak to Jake and whatever he wants to do I’ll do my hardest and try every effort to make it happen for him.”<\/p>\n

Paul isn’t letting his second career loss stop him from chasing new heights, and a rematch with Fury is firmly included in his future plansCredit: Skill Challenge EntertainmentIs Jake Paul likely to fight Tommy Fury again?<\/p>\n

Paul has suggested that he wants to fight the Briton across 12 rounds if they were to meet again, which Fury has yet to do in his professional career.<\/p>\n

And according to the American, Fury has already rejected an offer of $15 million to sign a deal.<\/p>\n

While the pair have often teased a rematch, negotiations have repeatedly failed to amount to anything more than verbal back-and-forth.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Paul has dreams of fighting for the cruiserweight crown, which would likely see Noel Mikaelian as a prime target for the 28-year-old’s return.<\/p>\n

After losing to Joshua<\/a>, Paul revealed: “We\u2019re going to heal the broken jaw, come back and fight people my weight and go for the cruiserweight world title.<\/p>\n
