Jake Paul picked up the biggest win of his boxing career as he scored a first-round TKO over Ben Askren on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Entering the highly-anticipated fight<\/a>, many were interested to see how Paul would fare against a legit combat sports athlete. Just like his other two fights, the YouTuber made quick work of his opponent as he scored a first-round TKO win<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, after his win, here are some options on who could be next for Jake Paul.<\/p>\n

Tyron Woodley<\/h3>\n

With Woodley in Askren’s corner, he got into it with Paul’s team ahead of the fight<\/a>. Then, after the YouTuber knocked out his teammate, Woodley called for the fight to happen and it does make sense.<\/p>\n

Woodley is a big name and a former UFC champion that Paul and Triller Fight Club can market it around. “The Chosen One” is now a free agent after his UFC 260 loss<\/a> and would be free to take the fight. He also is a legit striker, with KO power and would weigh around the same as Paul and would be his toughest test to date.<\/p>\n

If Paul wins, it will only cement his claim as a professional boxer even more as he would’ve beaten a former UFC<\/a> champ in Woodley.<\/p>\n

Dillon Danis<\/h3>\n

Dillon Danis has been vocal about wanting to face Jake Paul, yet the YouTuber has claimed the Bellator fighter won’t sign the contract.<\/p>\n

Scott Coker has said he would allow Danis to take the boxing match against Paul which would be a highly-anticipated fight. However, Danis, like Askren is far from a striker, so after seeing Saturday night, perhaps the hype around this fight wouldn’t be there anymore.<\/p>\n

However, Danis and Paul have a rivalry so the trash-talk and the promotion for the fight would help sell it.<\/p>\n

Tommy Fury<\/h3>\n

Tommy Fury is the only boxer on this list as he is the half-brother of Tyson Fury and is 5-0 as a pro.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old in Fury has around the same experience as Paul and he fights at 180-pounds, so fighting at 190 would be no problem. He also has a rivalry with Paul after the YouTuber claimed Fury’s girlfriend has been messaging him regularly.<\/p>\n

Fury vs. Paul would be a big fight in boxing, but it lacks the big name that would attract the MMA fans which Paul wants.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor & Nate Diaz<\/h3>\n

Jake Paul has been vocal about wanting to face Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz down the line.<\/p>\n

I’m grouping them together because it’s highly unlikely this fight would be next, but after Paul’s latest KO, there is no question he is much closer to both of these fights.<\/p>\n
