Jake Paul confirms he\u2019ll fight weeks after Bourland win against mystery opponent YouTube: Official Jake PaulJake Paul, fresh off a dominant first-round TKO of Ryan Bourland, already has a confirmed date for his next fight. Jake Paul\u2019s latest opponent, Ryan Bourland, is an aging boxer with only one fight in the past five years. As such, Paul entered the ring as the heavy favorite, and mere moments after the opening bell, it was clear to see why. Bourland couldn\u2019t keep up with Paul\u2019s speed or power, as the YouTuber-turned-boxer outclassed the former Golden Gloves champion. Paul predicted a second-round knockout of Bourland in the lead-up. But as he jokingly said after the fight, he was too generous with that guess. Assessing candidates for Jake Paul\u2019s next fight Only two days after notching a second straight first-round stoppage, Paul already has a date for his next boxing match. On X, Paul announced that April 26 would mark his return to the ring. But he did not mention who the fight would be with, leaving fans to speculate. While several rumors are swirling regarding Paul\u2019s potential opponent in April, one fighter stands above the rest as the most likely choice. But let\u2019s address two other rumors first. Ryan Garcia Notably, Garcia has been calling Paul out nonstop over the past few weeks. It all came to a head last weekend when Garcia claimed Paul is \u201cdisrespecting boxing.\u201d After Paul\u2019s recent victory against Bourland, reporters asked about this comment. He downplayed a potential fight, saying that Garcia doesn\u2019t deserve it and if it happens, it will be \u201clight work\u201d for Paul. Between Paul\u2019s disinterest, Garcia\u2019s ongoing concerns, and the fact Garcia is slated to meet Devin Haney on April 20, this match won\u2019t happen \u2014 at least, not in April. Canelo Alvarez Jake Paul challenging Canelo Alvarez is a pipe dream for multiple reasons. First, Alvarez is amongst the most established boxers in the world. Also, the multi-time world champion will reportedly fight Jaime Munguia on May 4, only one week after Paul\u2019s confirmed date of April 26. Fighting Alvarez would be by far and away the biggest challenge of Paul\u2019s short career, as the champion-level boxer boasts a career record of 60-2-2. It won\u2019t happen in April, but if Paul can continue making headway in the boxing world, there\u2019s always a chance of a money fight taking place later down the road. Neeraj Goyat Paul\u2019s next opponent will likely be Neeraj Goyat. He is a rising Indian boxer who has been trading verbal blows with Paul. The most famous instance is a recent parking lot stare-down between the two on social media. As Paul has stated, there is plenty of money to be made in a potential fight with Goyat, especially if it takes place in his home country of India. Paul has mentioned that fighting in India and expanding his brand to another country excites him. \u201cHe\u2019s India\u2019s biggest and best boxer. Maybe one day, we\u2019ll see,\u201d Paul said of Goyat. That one day could be April 26. Until Paul confirms a venue, and his next opponent, Goyat sits as the front runner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
