Despite his damaging defeat to Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul is not short of options.
Paul was knocked out in the sixth round of his clash against two-time heavyweight world champion, Joshua in Miami in December.
‘The Problem Child’ was taken to hospital after the bout after breaking his jaw.
The 29-year-old has already revealed his intentions to continue fighting and a potential rematch with Tommy Fury – his only other defeat – has been floated as a potential opponent.
The Ohio man, who has fought five former UFC fighters in his 14-fight professional career, has drawn interest from a current UFC star.
Paddy Pimblett, who challenges Justin Gaethje for the UFC interim lightweight title at UFC 324 on Saturday in Las Vegas, has opened the door to a future clash with Paul.
“If the money is right, I’d love to box Jake Paul,” Pimblett told SportBible.
“That’d be f**king hilarious, but the money has to be right. I have to be earning a lot of money from it.
“At the minute, I’m focused on my MMA career, I’ve got things that I want to be doing in MMA.
“As I say, becoming a world champion, that’s the main thing for me at the minute.
“I’ve always said I’m going to be UFC world champion, and I get the chance to do it in the next couple of weeks, so that comes first and foremost before anything else does.
“After that, if Jake Paul wants to pay me to box him, and he can get his money out, I’ll box him any day of the week.”
Paul has been continuously linked with a crossover bout against former UFC lightweight champion, Conor McGregor, who is expected to return to the Octagon later this year.
Paul was originally set to face Gervonta Davis in an exhibition in November, however Davis was pulled after being accused of hitting an ex-girlfriend in a civil lawsuit, with the YouTuber-turned-boxer opting to face Joshua.
