Jake Paul is ‘champing at the bit’ to get back in the ring, according to his Most Valuable Promotions business partner, Nakisa Bidarian.The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been out of action since suffering a broken jaw during a stoppage loss to Anthony Joshua last December.Nakisa Bidarian insists Jake Paul will be back in the ring no later than JanuaryGettyPaul underwent two surgeries to reconstruct his jaw, and conversations are now going on behind the scenes regarding a comeback within the next five months. “He’s cleared to spar in a couple of weeks, mid-September,” MVP CEO Bidarian told talkSPORT.com.“And look, the goal is to have him back at the end of this year. Will it slip to January? Maybe.“That’s not driven by his ability to fight. That’s just driven by business and schedules and venues, etc.“But he will be back, and he’s champing at the bit to get back in the boxing ring.”While Bidarian admits that they are speaking to a number of potential dance partners, the fight that makes the most amount of sense in his eyes is a rematch with Tommy Fury.Paul fell to the first defeat of his professional career against Fury back in February 2023 via a tight split decision.Multiple attempts have since been made to make the sequel official, but both parties have continually butted heads over the financial side of the deal. Which opponent ‘makes the most sense’ for Jake Paul’s next fight?“The most appropriate opponent and the opponent that makes the most sense is Tommy Fury,” Bidarian added.“His representatives just have to help us make a sensible deal. A rematch with Tommy Fury remains on the tableSkill Challenge Entertainment“In the past, they haven’t been sensible about what the money looks like “Look, Tommy’s had a number of fights since Jake, and he’s never made anything close to what they’re asking for.“So it’s either you wanna fight Jake, and you understand we’re trying to pay you a lot of money.“But it has to make business sense, or you don’t.“I believe Tommy wants to fight Jake, and I believe the fight will happen, but we obviously have other fighters we’re talking to as well.“And for Jake, if it’s not Tommy, it’s fine. Jake is the biggest draw globally by any metric, so we’re okay.”Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.
