Jake Paul has teased a career change following his dominant boxing win over Mike Tyson last week.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer was in control throughout the fight with Tyson, who is 31 years his opponent’s senior, and revealed after the fight that he didn’t knock him out by choice.
It took Paul to a professional boxing record of 11-1 – with the one defeat coming against Tommy Fury in February last year – and it unclear what will come next for the 27-year-old.
He has been involved in a number of online interactions about potential future fights following his win, including with the likes of Carl Froch, Artur Beterbiev and Canelo Alvarez.
But nothing is official yet, and a potential career change could be on the cards if his latest words are anything to go by – and it could include his brother, Logan.
That would be in WWE, and Jake and Logan pitched a potential idea on the latest episode of Logan’s Impaulsive podcast, which gave a potential insight into what the future could hold.

Jake Paul has teased a shock career change after beating Mike Tyson inside a boxing ring
Paul dominated his opponent, having been 31 years his junior, and refused to knock him out
‘I would love to,’ Jake said of the idea of joining brother Logan in WWE. ‘I would want to be like your Paul Heyman.
‘I wouldn’t want to wrestle as much. I can do some s***, but I would want to be your sidekick businessman or some s***.’
Logan replied: ‘I’m gonna go for it. I’m gonna go for it. Perhaps, if you retire [from boxing]… you become world champion and then you retire, and I’m still wrestling, you can be like my manager who also has a mean right hand.’
Jake, seemingly puzzled, asked: ‘Why can’t I do it now?’
Logan answered: ‘I guess you can do it now. It’s just time consuming.’
Paul has had mixed reviews around his work in WWE. Debuting in 2021 as a celebrity guest, he began training in wrestling and debuted at WrestleMania 38 in 2022. His success would continue, eventually claiming the United States championship.
Though the influencer impressed with his quick adaptation to the nature of professional wrestling, his appearances were sparse, with the now-29-year-old unable to commit to a full-time schedule despite being a champion.
He dropped his belt to LA Knight at SummerSlam in August, and has not been seen in the promotion since.
Logan is a WWE star, having first appeared in the company in 2020 before signing a contract
Jake said he could be Logan’s Paul Heyman – one of the most famous managers of all time
Back in 2022, Logan faced then-champion Roman Reigns for the undisputed WWE title at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, and Jake made an appearance as essentially a henchman for his brother.
With Reigns supporter by real-life cousins The Usos, Jake got involved himself to clash with the tag team, though he not been seen before or since that period.
If he were to be Logan’s ‘Paul Heyman’, he would essentially be a manager who is predominantly acting but sometimes gets physical.
It’s possible that he may have to quit his boxing career to do so, or he could adopt a part-time schedule like Logan due to other commitments.
