Paul Aims for Boxing Return This Year, Eyes MMA Bout with Usyk
Jake Paul is set to make a comeback in the boxing ring later this year, following a full recovery from his jaw injury. The social media influencer turned professional boxer recently went the distance with Anthony Joshua in a surprise heavyweight match, lasting six rounds against the former world champion. Paul's broken jaw has hindered his ability to train, but he remains committed to his boxing career, expressing his passion for the sport despite the setbacks. He anticipates returning to the ring in November or December, after a few more months of recovery. In addition to his boxing ambitions, Paul has expressed interest in an MMA crossover event, potentially facing off against unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk. Paul has also ruled out a rematch with Tommy Fury, citing past difficulties in negotiations. With his sights set on new challenges, Paul is currently promoting an MMA event and exploring the possibility of training for a mixed martial arts contest against Usyk.
