Jake Paul will headline a Dec. 24 boxing event in Dubai as Most
\nValuable Promotions searches for his next opponent<\/h2>\n

Paul has not competed since Joshua knocked him out in the sixth
\nround on Dec. 19, 2025. The former two-time unified heavyweight
\nchampion fractured Paul\u2019s jaw, an injury that required surgery.
\nPaul said the setback has not diminished his motivation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve spent years proving people wrong, taking risks, and pushing
\nmyself against opponents nobody thought I’d face,\u201d Paul said in a
\nstatement released by Most Valuable Promotions. \u201cNothing that’s
\nhappened has changed my belief in myself or what I’m working
\ntoward. I’m hungrier than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old also challenged potential opponents to accept the
\nmatchup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve got plenty of names on the list; let’s see who signs the
\ncontract,\u201d Paul said. \u201cMerry Christmas, Dubai. Santa Paul is coming
\nto town, and somebody’s getting knocked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

MVP co-founder and CEO Nakisa Bidarian said the promotion is
\nfinalizing Paul\u2019s opponent.
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> veteran Darren Till<\/a>
\nis known to be a frontrunner, with sportsbook BetOnline setting
\ninitial odds<\/a> at Paul (-200), Till (+153), which implies a 66.7%
\nprobability of the former winning.<\/p>\n

The event is being organized under a cooperation agreement with the
\nDubai Sports Council and Dubai\u2019s Department of Economy and
\nTourism.<\/p>\n
