Jake Paul targets NFL after career in boxing, before breaking into film and TV shows in Hollywood
JAKE PAUL fancies having a go at NFL before hitting the red carpet of Hollywood after he finishes his boxing career.
The YouTuber has won all six of his fights so far and will take on Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia on Sunday.
But Paul, 26, is already planning out his career after he hangs up the gloves.
And not surprisingly after becoming a social media sensation, the Ohio personality fancies trying his hand at acting.
But not one for shying away, Paul also wants to try out the heavy-hitting sport of NFL while he's in his youth.
Speaking exclusively to SunSport in February 2021, he said: "It's the original reason why I moved to Los Angeles and, you know, we're working on some things hopefully this year that are going to allow me to do a movie or a TV show.

"Right now obviously boxing the focus and it takes up so much time, but I would love to act and I have some ideas for some, some movies and stuff like that.
"I like action comedy. That's always my favourite. And that's like the roles I sort of see myself playing after boxing.
"I'm either gonna go to the NFL or, or become an actor, I'm still deciding, but those are my to do list."
Paul has won all six of his professional boxing bouts but faces his toughest test against Fury this weekend.
