Jake Paul has teased his latest 'big announcement' - and boxing fans think they know who his next opponent is already.

The 'Problem Child' defeated Mike Tyson via unanimous decision last month in an eight-round professional fight, but the bout was more notable for Tyson's physical struggles as the fight wore on than the result itself.

Paul confirmed after the fight that he did not attempt to knock 'Iron Mike' out, telling the 'BS w/ Jake Paul' podcast: "After I'd seen him a little bit tired, I didn't want to put too much hurt on him. But I wanted the fans to get a good experience."

Tyson, meanwhile, claimed that he 'almost died' after suffering an ulcer flare-up in June that originally caused the postponement of the entire event, but added that he had 'no regrets' over taking the fight.

Now, Paul is moving on to his next challenges in boxing - and he has revealed that he has a significant announcement in the coming weeks.

Taking to Twitter, he simply wrote: "Big announcement in January. Boxing."

Although there were some light-hearted suggestions for opponents given Tyson's age - outgoing US president Joe Biden, 82, was mentioned - plenty of fans think that they have worked out exactly who Paul will face.

Those conclusions were reached following a tweet from Paul's promoters, Most Valuable Promotions - a company which he founded - who asked fans: "If Jake Paul vs KSI at 185lbs can only happen when Jake Paul receives $100M... Who wins at that weight?"

Paul vs KSI would be a long-awaited match-up of fans of the two fighters, as they were talks to face off at Wembley Stadium last year.

However, 'The Problem Child' confirmed that he opted out of talks following his defeat to Tommy Fury to take up an offer to fight Nate Diaz, who he believed to be the tougher opponent.

Paul did defeat KSI's brother Deji in an amateur fight back in 2018.

Speaking to The Sun earlier this month, KSI's manager Mams Taylor said that he had proposed that Paul be allowed to weigh in several pounds heavier than his client in order to make the fight happen.

He said: "Obviously the Jake fight is something we've wanted and there was talk of a coin toss. We said, 'Fine, let's do a coin toss'.

"But the weights have to be fair. If you want 192lb on one side, then we want 183lb on the other side. If you want 190, we'll take 185."
