Paul, 27, has his eyes firmly set on knocking out the former world champion 31 years his senior.
He has been dishing out plenty of fighting talk in the build-up to the clash – but wedding bells can also be heard.
Paul’s celeb brother Logan recently welcomed a baby with fiancee and model Nina Agdal.
And the younger sibling is hoping to follow in his brother’s footsteps by soon starting his own family.
Paul said on his BS podcast: “Interestingly enough, I dream of the same thing [marriage and family] and getting to become best friends with my kids.
“Just being there all the time, which is why I work so hard, is to have the financial freedom to be able to not work when they’re born and to be with them all the time.
“And doing it with my wife, which I believe will be Jutta.”
Jutta, 25, is a Dutch speed skater, won won silver at the Winter Olympics and gold at the World Championships in 2022.

She has transformed Jake from a man that would live up to his Problem Child nickname into a dedicated fighter and future husband.
The duo met when both were suffering similar heartbreak.
Paul had broken up with his fiancee and influencer partner Julia Rose.
While Leerdam herself saw her own high-profile relationship end with fellow Dutch speed skater Koen Verweij after five years.
Paul admits to being in a “dark place” when he met the love of his life in early 2023 – around the time of the loss to Tommy Fury in his much-anticipated bout.
Leerdam was there to pick him up as they initially began flirting over social media.
Paul wined and dined her in Miami when they met up.
By April 2023, the couple were an item and have been smitten ever since.

Paul is ultra-competitive and no boxer likes the taste of defeat to a bitter rival like Fury.
But in fellow sports star Leerdam, he found someone who understood his pain.
Paul opened up in the early stages of their relationship, saying: “It’s been so refreshing, she’s a world champion and I’ve just been so amazed by her and her work ethic and how much of an angel she is.
“She’s one of the most pure-hearted human beings that I have met in my life.
“So genuine and she has just changed my perspective and helped me coming out of this loss when I was in a dark place.
“She really was there talking about her losses and was able to relate to those things and what I was going through.”

Paul has aspirations to become a world champion boxer and has shaken off the bruises left by Fury to get ready for Iron Mike.
And perhaps being patched up by his Dutch bombshell is his secret weapon.
Paul told SunSport: “It’s a game-changer and I can fully focus on what I want to do with the support from here.
“Jutta can give me mental advice and coaching, even physical performance advice and it’s just been such a game-changer.
“She inspires me to be better and I’ve told her from day one like, ‘Hey, I want to be just like you, I want to be a world champion.’ So she holds me to that standard.”
While it is all about the belts for Paul, Leerdam is going for gold at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics in 2026.
If they both achieve their dreams, they will do so in unity.
Jake brilliantly put: “Number one in the world together – and I think we might just be the first couple to do that.”
