Jake Paul’s Promoter on His Ring Return: “He Wants to Fight for a Belt”

American boxer-influencer Jake Paul’s promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, revealed when the cruiserweight star is likely to fight again.

“He’ll be back in the ring this year—in November or December.

He wants to fight for a belt, and the sooner the better. The opponent he wants most is Badou Jack. I think that’ll be tough because Jack has a mandatory defense against the man he just beat for the WBC title. I’m not sure it can happen this year, but we’ll see,” Bidarian said.

Paul entered the WBA cruiserweight rankings at No. 14 after his win over Julio César Chávez Jr.
