Jake Paul has revealed he would “love” to pursue a move into the world of WWE as a manager in the future following on from his win over Mike Tyson.

The YouTube superstar is 12 fights into his spell in the ring, having arguably pulled off the most significant victory of his career so far versus ‘Iron Mike’ last Friday. The man known as “Problem Child” emerged as the winner at in Texas via a unanimous judges’ decision.

As the 27-year-old plots his next moves following this triumph over former world heavyweight champion Tyson, he has not been short on offers in terms of potential future opponents. Retired fighters Carl Froch and Tony Bellew are among those open to a bout, while undisputed world light-heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev has outlined his interest.

Meanwhile, Paul has been open about the fact that he is considering his options after overcoming the fighter once known as the ‘Baddest Man on the Planet. Now, addressing speculation that he could face off against Canelo Alvarez in the future, he said per the Standard: “Canelo needs me. I’m not even gonna call him out. He knows he wants a payday and he knows where the money man’s at.”

During that exchange, the American also admitted that he would be open to moving into a role as a manager in the WWE one day, saying: “I would love to. I would want to be like your [brother Logan’s] Paul Heyman [manager]. I wouldn’t want to wrestle as much. I can do so some —-, but I would want to be your sidekick businessman or some —-.”

WWE is viewed more of an entertainment business rather than a sport, as much of it is scripted.

Likewise, Paul has received a callout from IBF world heavyweight champion boxer Daniel Dubois, who revealed his desire to fight the viral sensation, saying: “Hi Jake. Good business on the weekend but how would you feel fighting for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the world? This is Daniel Dubois calling you out. Let’s get it on, issuing a shift response.

Paul fired back remarking: “Get in line.”

He continued: “Man been boxing for 12 years, has over 100 fights between amateur and pro and fought on my undercard… hahaha, before adding: “But —- it… I’m going to have Nakisa talk to Frankie Warren and get you in line for the throne. Unlike Artur, at least you have a few thousand fans.”

Paul has been open of his intentions to vie to become a world champion in the future, telling Sky Sports previously: “I’m going to become a world champion and these fights are all just stepping stones to get there.

“I’m slowly improving. I’ve sparred against world champions and done phenomenal against them, so who knows what can happen in two to three years from now when I go into my athletic prime? I’m starting to really, really get this sport and all aspects of it.”

He added: “It’s really actually scary what could possibly happen. I think not only will I become a world champion, I think I will be a dominant world champion and knock someone out for the belt.”
