Jake Paul’s PFL debut is expected to occur by the end of the year.  

That is according to PFL Chairman Donn Davis. Paul signed a PFL deal in 2023 but has continued with his boxing. He secured a unanimous decision win against Mike Tyson in his last fight. The fight earned him $40 million. He only has one loss on his record. This came against Tommy Fury. The success from his boxing career has given him more incentive to continue. 

Paul could rematch Fury, while also pursue lucrative fights with Conor McGregor and Canelo Alvarez. But he also has plenty of options in MMA. He could rematch Fury in MMA after reports he offered a two-fight deal, one in boxing and the other in MMA. The Problem Child has also previously offered Nate Diaz a $10 million offer for a PFL fight after beating him in boxing. Another option could include a fight with Tyron Woodley, having boxed him twice. Davis expects Jake to make his debut this year. 

“I just talked to Nakisa [Bidarian] an hour ago. Two things are happening: Jake is super successful in boxing. Whether you love Jake or hate Jake, we can all agree that guy’s the man when it comes to generating attention, revenue, and viewership with his boxing career. It’s more successful than it was when we signed him.

“On the boxing side, that success has delayed MMA because he’s killing it in boxing. So will MMA happen with the PFL? Yes, it will. Has it been delayed? Yes, it has. My guess is the fall of this year, but I don’t think it’s going to be before that. He’s got so many things going on in boxing,” Davis said
