In recent months, however, the 37-year-old has teased a ring return.

And the Olympic silver medallist fancies dipping his toes into the world of influencer boxing by taking on the two biggest names in the scene.

After Paul claimed on X that he'd face KSI, Khan tweeted: "If he dies he dies. Then f*** @jakepaul up."

It didn't take long for Paul, who was set to face Mike Tyson next month, to respond to Khan's vow to knock him out.

He replied: "You will kill the forehead if you actually take it serious.

"Then we can run it in February and I’m going to splatter you like [Briedis] Prescott."

A fired-up Khan quickly replied: "Send contact or go back to Disney b****."

Former I'm a Celeb star Khan then hinted that his ring return will be announced imminently.

Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson’s lifestyles compared

ONE is a notorious YouTuber-turned-boxer who has taken the sport by storm.

The other terrorised all in the ring in the 1980s and 1990s, famously biting the ear off an opponent in one fight.

Iron Mike has rebuilt his life after squandering a £300m fortune with a cannabis empire, and is a huge advocate of the drug.

And as Paul has continued to rise up the ranks, he has splashed the cash on a fleet of amazing cars.

Whereas Tyson had more money than sense until a £15m debt saw him part with his cherished car collection.

Paul now lives in a plush mansion worth £13m in Puerto Rico, after escaping his hectic life in LA.

But these days, Tyson lounges in his Vegas property he paid £2.5m for with wife Lakiha, who he married in 2009.

Paul is not yet married but is smitten with his speed skater girlfriend  Jutta Leerdam.

She will be by his side when her man puts his 9-1 boxing record on the line against two-time heavyweight champ Tyson on July 20.

He wrote: "The KING is back. News coming soon. Easy money."

Khan first teased a showdown with Paul last September, saying: "Jake Paul, he gets on my nerves a little bit.

"I think the way he conducts himself the way he acts and he’s just full of himself as well and he thinks he can fight.

"He’s only been boxing for like a year, so yeah, I’d love to fight him.

"He’s been very lucky though, he’s a little bit heavier than me.

"But I don’t mind putting the pounds on just to beat him up."

The end of Khan's career was marred by controversy as it emerged he tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug Ostarine before his clash with Brook.

He was handed a two-year suspension for his anti-doping violation, which he blamed on accidental ingestion.

His period of ineligibility ended in February, meaning he's free to compete under the jurisdiction of the British Boxing Board of Control should he so choose to.
