Former UFC fighter Nick Diaz is 6/5 to be the next opponent for Jake Paul
Jake Paul's next opponent is up in the air again after Tommy Fury's struggles getting into America.
Paul has offered Fury an ultimatum until today (Wednesday 6th) and if Fury fails to sort out his situation with the US embassy it looks like Paul will choose another opponent.
Former UFC fight Nick Diaz has been rumoured to fight Paul in the past and is 6/5 with bookies to be the next opponent for the YouTuber.
| Jake Paul next opponent (without KSI or Fury) | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Hasim Rahman Jr
|
4/7 | 63.6% |
| Nick Diaz | 6/5 | 45.5% |
| Anderson Silva | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Tyron Woodley | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Ben Askren | 10/1 | 9.1% |
The betting market is dominated by former MMA fighters with Jake Paul having already beaten Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren in the past.
Paul KO'd Woodley last time out after Woodley was a late replacement for Tommy Fury who pulled out of their first scheduled fight through illness.
Hasim Rahman Jr is 4/7 to fight Paul next with 'agreement finalised'
The favourite to fight Jake Paul next is Hasim Rahman Jr, with Sports Illustrated reporting that there's been an 'agreement finalised' for the fight.
Rahman Sr famously KO'd Lennox Lewis as a 20-1 outsider back in 2001 and it's expected that his son Rahman Jr will be an outsider against Jake Paul.
Rahman Jr isn't exactly on his dad's level in terms of Boxing talent, but his current record is 12-1 and he'll be hoping to make it 13 against Paul.
Similar to his father, a win in this bout would make him a well known name worldwide overnight.
Paul announced he will fight on August 6th at Madison Square Garden
Jake Paul's next fight will be on August 6th at Madison Square Garden.
Featherweight Champion Amanda Serrano has also been announced on the bill as a headliner.
Serrano's last bout came against Katie Taylor, where she lost in a superb fight back in April.
That win made Katie Taylor the favourite for the RTE Sports Personality of the Year award at 1/3.
