Jake Paul is targeting a professional boxer for his next fight, but it’s not Tommy Fury as many were expecting.<\/p>\n

Paul (5-0) and Fury (7-0) were slated to collide in a highly anticipated boxing match at the Amalie Arena this past Saturday in Tampa. However, due to a rib injury and chest infection Tommy Fury was\u00a0forced to withdraw<\/a>\u00a0from the fight.<\/p>\n

Stepping in on short-notice to replace the British fighter was Paul’s most previous opponent Tyron Woodley. ‘The Problem Child’ and ‘The Chosen One’ had fought to a controversial split decision this past August in Cleveland, which provided a good storyline to help promote their rematch.<\/p>\n

While \u2018Paul vs. Woodley 2\u2019 did not result in the thrilling slugfest most fans were hoping for, it did produce a spectacular finish. Jake Paul connected with a huge right hand in round six that sent Tyron Woodley crashing to the canvas in a state of unconsciousness (see that here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Tommy Fury was not impressed by Paul’s performance in his rematch with Woodley and accused ‘The Problem Child’ of fighting only wrestlers .<\/p>\n

\u201cCalling out all these wrestlers and non-boxers, in a cage they\u2019d kill him any day of the week but let\u2019s be honest and let\u2019s be serious here: would he beat Nate Diaz [in boxing]? One hundred percent. Would he beat any other MMA super fighter, 100 percent, because they\u2019re not boxers. I\u2019ve really got nothing else to say on that because I\u2019m not entertaining that. He\u2019s the fight I want next and he\u2019s the fight that\u2019s gonna happen next.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While Tommy Fury was obviously convinced that Jake Paul would target him to be his next opponent that does not appear to be the case.<\/p>\n

According to Paul’s management team, Jake has requested that his next contest come against boxing veteran Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shows how impressive Jake is that people think (Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr.) should be his next opponent. Even more impressive is that Jake messaged @Nakisabidarian and said let\u2019s get this one next,\u201d<\/em> BAVAFA Sports shared on their Instagram<\/a> Story.<\/p>\n

Chavez Jr. (53-6-1), a former WBC Middleweight Champion, would be best known by most MMA fans for his recent loss to Anderson Silva in June. ‘The Son of the Legend’ is currently 35-years-old but would serve as a step in the right direction for Jake Paul to gain some credibility amongst the boxing community<\/a>.<\/p>\n
