In 2023, 'The Problem Child' signed a contract with the Professional Fighters League (PFL), aiming to make his MMA debut in the future. Jake has teased matchups against several top MMA fighters, including Alex Pereira and Conor McGregor. That said, he is yet to make his MMA debut.

During a recent interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, the 28-year-old boxer was asked if he could ever see himself fighting his older brother Logan in the future. Jake responded:

"I'm guessing that's very real. For him, that would level the playing field because we both have never done MMA... I'd be down to do it just for fun, but I don't think it would ever happen."

When UFC star Dricus du Plessis showered praises on Jake Paul

Since his debut as a professional boxer in 2020, Jake Paul has gained a lot of popularity. Not only has he beaten a few big names in the combat sports world, but he has also received attention for calling out the likes of Canelo Alvarez and Anthony Joshua for fights.

About a year ago, UFC middleweight champion Dricus du Plessis gave his thoughts on 'The Problem Child' during an appearance on the Shadow Banned podcast. It seems Paul has the respect of the South African, who said it was “uncool” to hate the influencer-turned-boxer:

"My man's making money. That's what I respect. He is fighting, he's getting better every fight. He is getting better. He's not a sh*t boxer, make no mistake. But take the route that you need to be taking. To hate him for no reason, it's uncool. To hate the fact that he's getting paid more than all the other fighters, call it jealousy if you will, and there's a part of me that probably is, I just know if we had to box each other, it wouldn't be a fight."
