Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury and Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury/Deontay Wilder

YouTube megastar and up-and-coming professional boxer Jake Paul has carved a unique niche for himself in the world of combat sports over the past few years. 'The Problem Child' holds an undefeated 4-0 record in the sport.

Jake Paul’s most recent fight was a split decision win over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. The pair met in a cruiserweight pro boxing bout last month. Paul recently suggested that he could face Tyson Fury’s younger brother Tommy Fury next.

Speaking of 'The Gypsy King', he’s set to face Deontay Wilder in a trilogy fight. Their first fight ended in a split draw. The rematch saw Fury beat Wilder via a seventh-round TKO. Their trilogy fight will take place on October 9 and will have Fury’s The Ring and WBC heavyweight titles at stake.

The consensus is that if an immediate rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua doesn’t come to fruition, Usyk could fight the winner of Fury vs. Wilder 3 for the undisputed heavyweight title next.
