The boxing star outlines his ambitious future opponents, spanning multiple weight classes and combat sports promotions.
Jake Paul has officially revealed an ambitious career hit list detailing the opponents he wants to face before eventually stepping away from combat sports. The list features major names from both boxing and mixed martial arts.
As the co-founder of Most Valuable Fights alongside executive Nakisa Bidarian, the free agent currently sits unscheduled for any upcoming bouts. The fighter spent the entirety of 2026 on the sidelines recovering from a broken jaw sustained during a heavyweight match.
Despite this lengthy recovery period, Jake Paul took to social media to name his desired next steps in the sport, according to information published by mmamania.
High Profile Boxing Matchups
The publicized hit list includes prominent boxing superstars such as Canelo Alvarez, Ryan Garcia, and Chris Eubank. These potential matchups highlight the promotional agency's ongoing strategy to secure high revenue bouts for the athlete.
Other notable names mentioned for potential boxing contests include Edgar Berlanga, KSI, and heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder, showcasing a wide range of weight classes and skill sets.
Cross Sport Challenges in MMA
The ambitious roster also extends into mixed martial arts, featuring targeted crossover bouts with UFC stars like Conor McGregor and Sean Strickland, with potential rules varying between boxing and MMA formats.
Additional mixed martial arts targets include Darren Till and Nate Diaz. While some athletes operate as free agents, others remain heavily locked down by restrictive promotional contracts.
Heavyweight Division Considerations
Fighters like Tom Aspinall and Francis Ngannou also appear on the expansive hit list. However, these heavyweight bouts present complex promotional hurdles due to existing organizational contracts and previous injuries.
Jake Paul previously claimed he would avoid the heavyweight division following a brutal knockout, yet these prospective opponents could still generate massive financial paydays under the right circumstances.
