Jake Paul is looking for a fight.
After his huge bout with Canelo Alvarez fell through last month, he has pivoted. Paul called out former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, but that's not a fight he'd be able to have anytime soon, considering Joshua is likely already plugged into something in September.
Paul took to social media on Thursday to call for a rematch with Tommy Fury, the only man who owns a win over him. Paul's offer–$4 million–is nothing to sneeze at and likely dwarfs what Fury was offered—and turned down—in his canceled fight with Darren Till earlier this year.
Paul seemingly wants the rematch with Fury to take place in the United States, but he has a contingency offer in place for the younger brother of the legendary Tyson Fury. In their first fight, Fury won a split decision over Paul, with two of the judges scoring the fight 76-73 in his favor and one judge scoring it 75-74 for the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

While Paul may have run into some impediments in his pursuit of a major fight against legends like Canelo and Joshua, he still has a wealth of options for his next fight. Fighting Paul still equates to a major payday for anyone involved, and offers like the one he just publicly offered to Fury are proof.
While Paul could fight Fury next, it won't stop his pursuit of a bout against a more established, unquestioned pillar of boxing.
According to longtime journalist Dan Rafael, Paul had discussions about an exhibition match with lightweight champion Gervonta Davis before Tank battled Lamont Roach Jr. to a draw on March 1.
Now, Davis and Roach are seemingly locked in for a pay-per-view rematch later this year. Another strong option for Paul could be a fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
While Chavez Jr. is no longer a world-class fighter, he does have considerable notoriety because of his lineage and his in-ring accomplishments, including a run as a legitimate world champion.
A fight with someone like Fury or Chavez Jr. could wind up being Paul's requisite next step before he gets a chance to prove what he can do against the sport's most respected champions like Canelo, Joshua, and even Davis.
Here is a look at the complete list of results for all of Paul's professional boxing matches.

Chris Paul staring down conundrum over his NBA future: ‘Don't get that time back'
Chris Paul's next move will have everything to do with family. The 40-year-old point guard is a free agent after spending last season with the Spurs, and said his decision as to where he'll play next — or if he'll play at all — will hinge on his proximity to his wife and kids. 'It's with my family more than anything,' Paul said on the 'Pat McAfee Show' on Thursday. 'I talk to my family about it. My son just turned 16, my daughter is 12. The past six seasons, I've lived without them. I've been away from them for the last six years, so it's a little different.' Advertisement Paul's family lives in Los Angeles, but the 12-time All-Star has not played there since he was traded from the Clippers to the Rockets in 2017. Paul said his family was with him in Houston, but not for the stints that followed with the Thunder, Suns, Warriors and, most recently, San Antonio. Advertisement 12-time All-Star Chris Paul is a free agent. AP 'I don't think I want to play for a while. I'm being honest with you, I want to be Dad. I still love to play, I was up in the gym at 6 a.m. this morning…it's crazy. My daughter actually hoops now. Before I flew out here, I was in the gym with her for 20 minutes… It was priceless. You don't get that time back,' Paul said. 'But I want to hoop, because I love to hoop, but at the same time I do want to be Dad.' Even as he's aged past his prime, Paul has found ways to remain a key asset for winning NBA teams. Chris Paul spent the 2024-25 season with the Spurs. NBAE via Getty Images Advertisement He proved to be an impactful pick-and-roll partner – and mentor – for Victor Wembanyama this past season with the Spurs, averaging 7.4 assists per game to go along with 8.8 points a night. And even as one of the oldest players in the league, Paul was durable as can be, playing and starting in all 82 games. It's unclear whether there could be a fit for Paul on the Lakers or Clippers, if he'd be willing to sign elsewhere, or if the 'Point God' will decide now's the time to call it a career.

Reports: Veteran LSU baseball outfielder enters transfer portal
Reports: Veteran LSU baseball outfielder enters transfer portal Recent reports say LSU baseball's Mic Paul entered the transfer portal ahead of the team's super regional series against West Virginia. The redshirt sophomore outfielder made 25 appearances in 2025, mostly as a defensive replacement late in games. He recorded eight at-bats, six runs, four walks, and two hits. As a freshman, he played in 12 games. Paul received a medical redshirt for the 2024 season and returned as a minor contributor this season. Although he put together consistent at-bats during his few trips to the plate, he couldn't claim a starting role over starters Derek Curiel, Chris Stanfield and Jake Brown. As a part of the 2022 recruiting class, Paul ranked as Utah's top outfielder and No. 69 overall at his position by Perfect Game. Despite coming into LSU as a highly-touted prospect, Paul couldn't establish himself as a contributor through his two active seasons donning the purple and gold. Paul is not the first Tiger to enter the portal. He joins David Hogg and Ryan Costello, among others. LSU baseball's super regional series vs. West Virginia will begin on Saturday.

‘I'm built for this.' Dolphins' Patrick Paul confident ahead of first season as starting tackle
A lot will be expected of Patrick Paul in 2025. Not only will he be expected to start for the Dolphins at left tackle, Paul will replace an All-Pro in Terron Armstead who retired in early April. That's no easy task — even as his knees deteriorated more and more towards the end of the 2024 season, Armstead still remained a top-three player at his position, according to Pro Football Focus. So when asked if he actually feels the external pressure associated with his new role, Paul's responded. 'I'm built for this,' the 2024 second-round pick said Tuesday. 'I've always been ready for the moment, and that's why I play football: to compete at the highest level.' Such a response — coupled with reviews from evaluators and players — shows that Paul might in fact be, as he described, 'built for this.' He looks noticeably slimmer. He's a year older. And he's a year wiser. The result is a player who's as confident as ever. Then again, what else could you expect from a guy who has been passed the proverbial torch from a four-time Pro Bowler? 'It's a huge accelerator,' coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday. 'Coaching can take you so far; there's another level of coaching tied to peer ownership that is a completely different vessel to help a young player. There's a piece of him too – when you have a player like 'T-Stead' invest in you, you want to bear fruit of that investment.' Even Paul's teammates have noticed the changes. 'He's been really consistent in his training, which is really good for a young player,' tackle Austin Jackson said Tuesday. 'Especially for him, last year to this year, he lost a little bit of weight and has still been able to maintain his strength, so that's another big jump that tackles have to adjust to when they come into the league.' Granted, Paul's brief exposure to live NFL reps was somewhat middling. The then-rookie started three games and received a 44.9 grade for the season, per PFF, which ranked 126th at his position. In his defense, however, one such matchup came against the Houston Texans. Still, even in that game Paul showed flashes of brilliance against the elite edge rusher duo of Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson. 'He's enormous,' NFL analyst Brian Baldinger said of Paul, praising the tackle's stamina and strength after breaking down his 2024 film versus the Texans. 'If he gets these sets down, the Dolphins — if they get this offensive line together — all of the speed that they have at all these positions — wide receiver, tight end, running back — it's going to be a good offense.' After an offseason in which Paul made a point to work on his body, dropping from 332 to 320 pounds, in addition to studying the playbook, the left tackle said he feels more mature. The best part? Paul has been able to maintain his strength and speed despite his slimmer frame, something that Jackson alluded to. 'The speed for how big I am — that might throw people off,' Paul said, late adding that he 'matured in my game,' something that just 'comes with time.' Added Paul: 'I think offensive line is an art. As you go day by day, you're just going to keep fine-tuning your skills and one day, it's just going to click, everything that we do day by day is just going to start getting easier. I think I've reached that point where I know what it is, know what they expect from me and I know how to do it daily.' That maturity will be necessary as the Dolphins look to get back on track offensively after a down year in 2024. It won't be easy – Paul will be one of three new starters along the offensive line – but the Dolphins have time to get that chemistry together.
