JAKE PAUL is ready to come to the UK for a fight – against either Anthony Joshua or Tommy Fury.

Paul has recently signed a string of female stars to his Most Valuable Promotions roster including Ellie Scotney and Savannah Marshall.

So the YouTuber-turned-boxer is plotting an MVP show in the UK – and could even headline against ex-heavyweight champion AJ.

Paul said: “For sure, we would love to.

“We’re going to do it all and I’d love to come back to the UK and maybe for Anthony Joshua, maybe Madison Square Garden, who knows?

“But I’d love to fight in the UK and we’ll definitely do an event there.”

Paul, 28, called out Joshua, 35, earlier this year and the two struck a verbal agreement to fight in 2026.

AJ is yet to return since being knocked out by Daniel Dubois, 27, in September and has since undergone elbow surgery.

Paul’s last fight was at heavyweight against Mike Tyson – who controversially came out of retirement aged 58 before losing on points.

He now returns on Saturday in California back down at cruiserweight against former middleweight champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, on DAZN PPV.

JAKE PAUL’S controversial boxing career rolls on this weekend with the Problem Child facing boxing royalty in Anaheim, California.

Paul will face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, a highly-decorated former world middleweight champion.

The Mexican, 39, has fought just once in the last four years but has the best boxing resume of any fighter to step into a ring with Paul – bar Mike Tyson, who was aged 58 at the time they fought.

Paul’s promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian revealed plans are in place for a UK show – with Fury among those who could be in the opposite corner.

Bidarian said: “We’ve had discussions around later this year in terms of having a UK event based on the roster of talent that we’ve built in terms of Jake, it really depends on who he’s fighting next and if that makes sense or not, right?

“The Tommy Fury fight is definitely a fight that he still wants if Tommy ever gets realistic about compensation.”

Fury, 26, beat Paul via split-decision in 2023 in Saudi Arabia but turned down an offer to rematch last year.

The 2019 Love Islander underwent hand surgery after rejecting a £6m deal to fight Paul on Netflix – with Tyson stepping in as a replacement.

Paul wants to avenge his only loss in the boxing ring – but only for the right price.

He said: “I’m on a path to world championship and if Tommy gets realistic we can make that happen. But he’s just like out-priced himself.

“I’m the only thing that Tommy has. I don’t need Tommy. I would love to avenge the loss 1,000 per cent.

“But there’s 15 people with massive names waiting to fight me and also the goal is to become world champion.

“I won Knockout of The Year, most watched fight ever. The only thing left to do in the sport is to become a world champion.”
