Jake Paul’s future after the Anthony Joshua fight is already one of the biggest talking points in boxing. You’ve got rematch angles, crossover fights, and a handful of superstar names that would draw huge numbers. Some options make real sense based on recent negotiations, public callouts, or unfinished business. Others sit further out but still carry enough buzz to stay on the board. Let’s take a look at who Jake Paul could face after the AJ bout.
Jake Paul Next Opponent Odds (After Anthony Joshua)
- Tommy Fury +300
- Gervonta Davis +350
- Canelo Álvarez +500
- Conor McGregor +700
- Darren Till +800
- KSI +800
- Nate Diaz +1000
- Carl Froch +1400
- Ryan Garcia +2000
- Francis Ngannou +2500
- Tyson Fury +2500
- Retirement +1200
Tommy Fury Rematch Viewed as the Most Likely Next Fight for Jake Paul
The Fury rematch for Jake Paul sits at the top because it tells the cleanest story. He’s still the only fighter to beat Jake Paul as a pro, and both sides were in real talks before the Joshua matchup opened up.
It works no matter how the AJ fight plays out. If Paul loses, the rematch becomes a reset. If he does well or wins, the “avenge the only loss” angle becomes a bigger event. That’s why Fury sits as the deserved favorite at +300.
Gervonta Davis Match Still Possible After Paul’s AJ Fight?
Paul and Davis already had a signed fight that fell apart. That history keeps Tank close to the top. The business side – money, promotion, platform – was already figured out once.
The tension between the camps and Tank’s out-of–ring issues make it harder, but the matchup remains realistic enough to justify him as second favorite. If circumstances shift even slightly, this jumps back into play immediately.
Canelo Álvarez Sits as the Big-Money Possibility
Canelo is the most ambitious name here, and that’s why he’s priced where he is rather than deep in the long-shot range. There were genuine discussions before Canelo chose his recent deal.
If Paul looks competitive with Joshua, he suddenly becomes a sellable opponent for a major payday. It’s unlikely to happen next without momentum from Paul’s performance, but the commercial upside is huge, which keeps Canelo in striking distance.
Conor McGregor Fight Still Makes Commercial Sense
The McGregor feud has years of fuel behind it. The insults, callouts, and online exchanges never go away. You get a crossover fight that sells without trying.
The obstacles are obvious,the UFC contract, timing, and weight, but the scale of the event keeps McGregor near the front of the line.
If McGregor ever gets true freedom to box on his own timeline, this becomes one of the biggest options available to both men.
KSI Fight Still Looms Because of the Long Rivalry
KSI stays in the mid-range because the story has been building for years, even though negotiations have failed multiple times. Politics between promotions make this messy, but if Paul needs a step back from heavyweight after Joshua, this becomes easier to pull together.
The rivalry has never really cooled, and both sides know the numbers it would draw, which is the reason KSI’s name is still in the mix.
Other Names on the Board
Darren Till makes sense based on recent public comments and size, while Nate Diaz remains a possible rematch after accepting talks earlier in the year. Carl Froch has also fueled interest with constant criticism, though his age and demands push him down the list.
Ngannou and Tyson Fury have the profile for a megafight, but don’t really have the incentive. Retirement is more likely than those since because Paul has already talked about having a limited window in boxing and could pivot if the Joshua fight goes badly.
