Three possible opponents for Jake Paul after beating Nate Diaz

In crossover boxing, fans are not afraid to voice their opinions when it comes to who the biggest stars should face next. 

It's no different when it comes to Jake Paul who bounced back from his loss to Tommy Fury earlier this year with a win over former UFC star Nate Diaz on Saturday night. 

Despite Diaz showing flurries of success throughout the 10-round contest, it was Paul who emerged victorious on the judges' scorecards. 

Now already there is a focus on who 'The Problem Child' should face in his next fight and DAZN takes a look at three possible opponents below. 

KSI

There is no doubt that a Jake Paul vs. KSI fight would be the biggest event in crossover boxing.

Ever since the two entertainment stars began their professional boxing journeys, an intense rivalry has been formed and it has now gone up another level after KSI posted his reaction to Paul's win over Diaz on social media. 

If KSI is able to get past Tommy Fury later this year, a fight with Paul is the next logical move and if it can be made, Wembley Stadium has been mentioned as a potential venue. 

The only thing stopping this from happening would be the respective camps and whether they can agree a deal which satisfies both fighters. 

Tommy Fury

As Jake Paul has already proven, he is never afraid to step up and face more difficult tests since making his professional boxing debut in January 2020. 

Many would deem Paul's clash with Tommy Fury earlier this year as his toughest test to date, and while he did come up short, 'The Problem Child' proved that he had what it takes to share the ring with an outright boxer and even knocked Fury down in the final round of their contest. 

Knowing Paul's ambition and confidence, it would be no surprise if he was eager right the wrongs and face Fury for a second time.

However, with Fury already having the win over Paul, the younger brother of WBC world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury could be reluctant to step into the ring with someone he has already faced and beaten. 

Nate Diaz

Nate Diaz may have been unable to beat Jake Paul inside a boxing ring, but it could be a whole different story inside the cage. 

Already it looks like a Paul vs. Diaz rematch could be on the horizon in what could be the 'The Problem Child's' MMA debut. 

With Paul a member of the PFL's Super Fight Division, a fight with Diaz would be the perfect way to launch the brand and an offer has been made to Paul to face Diaz for a second time worth $10m. 

If an MMA fight between Paul and Diaz can be made, Diaz is likely to be considered a huge favourite due to his superior experience.
