Five next fights for Jake Paul after beating Nate Diaz including Tommy Fury and bitter grudge match with KSI
JAKE PAUL got back to winning ways with a points victory over Nate Diaz.
It was his first bout since losing a split-decision to Tommy Fury last February in Saudi Arabia.
Paul scored a knockdown in round five with a left hook and saw the win out over the scheduled ten.
It leaves the American primed for another big fight after getting back into the win column.
And here, SunSport takes a look at what could be next for the self-proclaimed Problem Child.
Tommy Fury
Paul, 26, snubbed a rematch to instead face Diaz, 38, but he has not closed the door on his celebrity boxing rival.
He called Fury, 24, out in the ring afterwards with his eyes on revenge.
But Fury must first fight Paul’s arch YouTube rival KSI on October 14 in Manchester, which the American plans to attend.
KSI
The YouTube rivals have feuded for years but are yet settle the score in the ring.
If KSI pulls off the upset and defeats Fury it would set up the grudge match.
And even if KSI does lose to Fury, the fans will still be demanding the bitter bout.
Nate Diaz
Paul is signed to the Professional Fighters League with his MMA debut set for next year.
And he is ready to offer Diaz $10million to fight him in the PFL cage.
He said: “I want to run it back in MMA. Yeah, $10million PFL that’s the offer let’s run it back in MMA.”
Nick Diaz
Should Paul want to take the rivalry with the Diaz further, he could turn his attention to older brother Nick.
Nick, 40, was in attendance at the fight and confirmed he wants to box in the future and has his eyes on Paul.
He said: “I’d love to entertain the idea of moving on in on whoever they got for me. So, if they can do round two and if [Nate] ain’t going to do it, I’ll take it.”
Canelo Alvarez
Despite losing to Fury, it has not prevented Paul from setting his sights on fighting Canelo.
He said: “I want more professional boxers and I want Canelo.”
The Mexican superstar, 33, is unlikely to entertain the fight anytime soon be he has refused to rule it out in the past.
