Jake Paul explains why he does not want to reveal any details of his next fight before the official announcement

In a recent interview with Fight Hub TV, Paul claimed that the negotiations were close to being finalized for his fight against WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis. However, Davis' draw against Lamont Roach in March and subsequent rematch announcement reportedly halted the negotiations.

When asked if he is aiming for any specific opponent next, Paul expressed his frustration about boxers, stating:

"There is a long list of names, man! But it's funny. I've said this before in boxing and it holds true - Boxers don't like boxing. They don't want to sign the contract. So, we'll see what happens. But, at the end of the day, I'll just keep on training and staying in the gym. We do have an announcement in the next week, but I'm just not going to leak anything."

He then explained the reason for not revealing the details of his next fight, stating:

"We've had these fights pulled twice now at the one yard line - Canelo, Gervonta - So, I'm just not going to jinx it and say anything."
