Jake
Paul has been medically cleared to return to boxing after
recovering from the broken jaw he suffered in his knockout loss to
Anthony
Joshua last year, according to his promoter.


Most Valuable Promotions co-founder Nakisa Bidarian announced
Thursday that Paul had been cleared to return to the ring. The
YouTuber-turned-boxer also shared a list of potential fights
spanning boxing and mixed martial arts, including matchups with
several current and former
Ultimate Fighting Championship athletes.

Jake Paul names Conor McGregor, Sean Strickland and Francis
Ngannou as possible opponents

Paul hasn’t competed since Joshua stopped him in the sixth round in
December 2025. The defeat left “The Problem Child” with a broken
jaw that required surgery, followed by a second procedure in
February.

“Jake Paul has been cleared to return to the boxing ring,” Bidarian
wrote on X.

Paul’s list included Canelo Alvarez, Ryan Garcia and Francis
Ngannou. He also named KSI, Sean
Strickland, Conor
McGregor, Nate Diaz,
Darren
Till, Edgar Berlanga and Tom
Aspinall, among others.

“I gotta be honest, unless things change with the UFC I’m kinda
over it,” Strickland wrote on X. “McGregor makes 30 million to
fight for 30 seconds and they don’t want to pay us a fraction of
it. Contemplating just going to 205 [pounds], knocking out my
contract and scrapping with [Jake Paul]. That sounds fun.”

Paul, who has long called on the UFC to increase fighter pay,
responded to Strickland’s post.

“Sean Strickland, I see your texts but are you out of contract?”
Paul wrote on X. “Tell your ‚promoter‘ to call MVP.”
