Jake Paul Teases Next Boxing Match on Twitter: 'New Fight Announcement Coming Soon'

Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC

YouTuber-turned-boxing sensation Jake Paul says he'll announce his next fight "soon." 

Nakisa Bidarian, Paul's adviser, told ESPN's Marc Raimondi that the boxer has a deal in place for the fight to be promoted by Showtime Sports. Bidarian noted the details for a potential opponent, date and location are still being worked out.

Of note, Paul had a social media exchange with welterweight titleholder Kamaru Usman. 

But based on the rest of his tweet—when he suggested that fighters should "make sure you are getting paid like a king"—it might not be Usman that Paul is suiting up against.

In an appearance on the You're Welcome podcast, Paul criticized UFC President Dana White, saying that he didn't think it was fair that fighters were "owned by Dana White and they're not getting fair pay" (h/t Alexander K. Lee of MMAFighting.com). 

Paul has said he's open to fights against UFC legends Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. 

In an Instagram story Tuesday, Paul did point out one opponent he's not trying to fight against—Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired in October with a 29-0 record (h/t Stephen McCaugherty of Heavy.com). 

Paul is 3-0 in his fights so far, most recently defeating Ben Askren by technical knockout on April 17.
