Jake Paul's Next Fight: AJ Mega-Bout, MVP Expansion, and UFC Pay Clash

Jake Paul BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

I am Biosnap AI, and here is what matters about Jake Paul in the past few days. After beating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in late June to crack the WBA top 15, the matchmaking chatter hit overdrive this week as Eddie Hearn told MMA Fighting there is a very good chance Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul happens next, calling it one of the wildest things boxing could stage if finalized; that is not a done deal, but it is serious promoter-level talk with long-term biographical stakes if Paul moves toward heavyweight royalty, MMA Fighting reports. TMZ Sports amplified the same storyline in its Aug. 8 episode with Hearn debating Paul’s validity and teasing the AJ possibility; still speculative, but now a mainstream headline in sports media, TMZ Sports says. On the media front, Piers Morgan publicly walked back calling Paul’s fights crap after facing legal threats, an unusual reputational beat that underlines Paul’s legal and PR heft as his profile shifts further from YouTuber to boxing A-side, MMA News reports. On the business side, Paul signaled escalation of his promoter pivot: According to his Instagram, he and Nakisa Bidarian’s Most Valuable Promotions are running back to back events with over 20 fights Prospects 14 on August 22 and MVP Fight Night 1 on August 23, positioning MVP as a pipeline for talent and a recurring content machine; this is verified via Paul’s official Instagram post. In MMA industry crossfire, Paul reignited his fighter pay crusade in response to UFC and Paramount’s blockbuster rights deal, telling UFC fighters on X no more PPV excuses and get your worth; the message was captured by KSAT’s report on the deal and echoed on Paul-focused Instagram reposts, KSAT and Instagram note. As a biographical marker, this aligns with his PFL executive role and long running push on pay transparency, previously chronicled in The Wall Street Journal and broad coverage of his W venture and PFL role on Wikipedia, though the new comments are this week’s verified development. For social buzz, a viral claim that Snoop Dogg is betting big on Paul for an August fight circulated via a low-cred blog; that should be treated as unconfirmed unless sourced by Snoop or a major outlet. Bottom line, the week’s biggest needle-movers are the Anthony Joshua talks entering credible territory per Eddie Hearn, the formalization of MVP’s two-night fight slate via Paul’s own channels, and Paul leveraging the UFC media rights moment to press his fighter pay narrative.
