He doesn't need to go back to working his way up the rankings in small fights with no eyes. He is established now and can keep fighting celebrities. Even in the boxing world, he could walk in to a title shot now no problem. Any champion would be dying to get him in the ring as a voluntary defense.
If he wants to actually improve as a boxer he needs to do his hard time like every other boxer. He's pretty decent but I don't see him improving much from where he is...He's actually become stuck in the style he fights if he keeps that up he's going to become one dimensional and limited, anyone who can put a combination together and is smart with their feet will outwork him.
Think the only type of fights he can get that'll bring in money aside from Paul potentially are UFC guys like Woodley, Till, Diaz etc maybe working his way up to 10 rounders. After that a Paul rematch and then he needs to go the conventional boxing route.
If Jake Paul was smart he would have a couple more fights before fighting Tommy again. Tommy will likely beat him even worse in a rematch. I wouldn't be surprised to see them both on the same card against different opponents.
Honestly, he should rematch Paul. Possibly try to set something up with Logan Paul after beating Jake again. If not, I would try to get him fights along that line. Guys who aren't serious contenders, that he can make a lot of money against. It was a fun fight to watch, but he doesn't have the talent to challenge a true upper echelon boxer. Nothing wrong with making money though.
Clean out the much feared youtuber circuit. Now that he holds the lineal youtube belt, things will only get tougher. Jake Paul may be taking on more MMA bums in the near future before rematching him. What a time to be alive, we are witnessing the great social media ATG fighter era.
Well... maybe AFTER Jake fights KSI in another bogus fight he will dominate to build himself back up. Judging by the way Tommy acted after the win it wouldn't shock me if he got lazy now feeling like he won something by beating a Youtuber.
Charlie Zelenoff is waiting for his chance I have heard....And Morons out there will pay to see it.!!!
