Jake Paul has declared Francis Ngannou his next target in boxing, promising to knock out the UFC champion in a heavyweight clash. The YouTube star, who stunned the boxing world by lasting six rounds against Anthony Joshua last December, stated Ngannou is an easy fight. Paul, who fought at cruiserweight for most of his career, dismissed Ngannou's boxing skills, claiming he would replicate his Joshua performance and render Ngannou unconscious.

Paul suggested Ngannou might avoid the fight due to fear of embarrassment. Recovering from a broken jaw sustained in his Joshua loss, Paul confirmed he will return to boxing, stating his jaw is healing and he's 'definitely going to keep on fighting'. The potential bout pits Paul, a former YouTube personality, against Ngannou, a seasoned UFC champion and former heavyweight king.
