Jake Paul had a year to remember in 2024.
Having began his career by mainly taking on former MMA fighters that made the transition to boxing, he started to instead turn his attention to fringe boxers with winning records.
He stopped both Andre August and Ryan Bourland inside one round, and then came the shocking announcement that he would face boxing legend Mike Tyson in July.
An illness to Tyson forced the bout to be postponed, with ‘The Problem Child’ facing and defeating former UFC star Mike Perry in the meantime, and the showdown with Tyson was then rescheduled for November.
It was an extremely difficult watch at times, with the now 58-year-old Tyson a clear shadow of his former self, and in the end Paul claimed a one-sided unanimous decision victory.
The fight with Tyson led to a number of world champions to call out Paul, with the Youtuber-turned-boxer now clearly one of the biggest names in the sport.
‘The Problem Child’ has seemingly now revealed who he believes to be at the front of the queue to fight him, after posting an image on social media with the caption ‘who next?’ showing lightweight star Gervonta Davis as his number one choice.

Davis has previously made it known that he would be willing to take on former YouTuber, after he was asked if the fight would interest him.
“Yeah. Tell him this is my callout. What up Jake Paul?”
Davis is set to return to the ring in March to take on Lamont Roach, with Paul expected to announce his next move in the near future.
