Major British star once considered 'the face of boxing' the betting favourite to face Jake Paul next

Anthony Joshua is considered the likeliest next opponent of Jake Paul following the American’s victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr , according to William Hill .

Former heavyweight champion AJ is the 4/1 favourite to face Paul next after an extended period out of the ring. Tommy Fury is next in the market at 6/1 to make a rematch with Paul after their first fight in 2023.

Other names that Paul could be set to face include Jean Pascal (8/1), Badou Jack (9/1), Carl Froch (10/1) and Tony Bellew (10/1).

Spokesperson for William Hill, Lee Phelps, said: “Following Jake Paul’s victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, speculation is rising about who ‘The Problem Child’ will fight next.

“Paul could be in line for a blockbuster clash with former unified world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, and the British boxer heads the list of his likely opponents at 4/1.

“Tommy Fury, who inflicted the only loss of Paul’s career to date, is 6/1 to step into the ring with Paul once again, while former top boxers Tony Bellew and Carl Froch are both priced at 10/1 for a showdown with Paul.”
