Jake Paul has finally announced when he is expected to step back into the boxing ring. The 23-year-old YouTuber revealed that he will mark his return on 17 April 2021, however, there is no word on his opponent, as of now.
Paul took to his Twitter account to announce the date of his next fight.
According to Jake Paul, the fight will be streamed live on Triller, which is an American video-making platform.
Paul had previously tweeted that the fight will take place on 10 April, but the 23-year-old corrected himself and noted that he will fight a week later.
Jake Paul has been constantly callingout UFC superstar Conor McGregor for a boxing fight, but it seems as though that the Irishman is not interested in making the fight happen. Now that 'The Notorious' has lost his fight against Dustin Poirier, it will be worth noting if Paul continues to clamor for a McGregor fight or not.
