Jake Paul reveals next fight will be announced ‘next week’ after slamming ‘smart’ KSI for not calling him out

JAKE PAUL’s next fight will be announced in a matter of days.

The YouTuber turned boxer is set to return to the ring in October following a longer-than-expected hiatus after his brutal KO of ex-UFC champ Tyron Woodley.

And The Problem Child, 26, has announced the identity of his next opponent will be revealed next week.

He tweeted: “Just got the call. Massive opponent announcement this week. October.”

Paul’s promotional company also shared the news via their social media account.

Most Valuable Promotions tweeted: “Next week we will announce Jake Paul’s next opponent.

“Jake Paul will almost certainly be the underdog. He knows that and he wants that.”

Paul’s bombshell came moments before he trolled fellow YouTuber KSI for not calling him out after his back-to-back wins at The O2 on Saturday night.

He tweeted: “Smart man KSI is not calling me out. He knows the truth.”

Paul was due to face bitter rival Tommy Fury earlier this month but their grudge match fell through due to travel issues for the Love Island star.

The former Disney star was then scheduled to fight Hasim Rahman Jr – the son of former heavyweight champ Hasim Sr.

But he pulled the plug on the Madison Square Garden melee after an alleged 11th-hour weight change request from Rahman Jr.

An enraged Paul vented his frustrations on social media, saying: “Hasim Rahman Jr has pulled out of the fight.

“This is not a joke, I am devastated, I cannot f***ing believe this; we just found out this news,” he said.

“This is another case of a professional boxer, just like Tommy Fury, being scared to fight me.

“It is as clear as day that these guys have been so unprofessional to work with, looking for any excuse to suck more money out of this event.

“To coerce us into doing things and I knew from the jump that this guy didn’t want to get in the ring with me.”
