Paul teases 'imminent' boxing return and MMA crossovers for 2027

'The Problem Child' has not fought since a six-round defeat to Anthony Joshua saw him suffer a broken jaw last December.

But as his Most Valuable Promotions merge with the Professional Fighters League, the star is eyeing up his return to action.

Not only that, but Paul has revealed he will try his hand at other combat sports as he continues to broaden his major portfolio.

"I'm going to be boxing very soon," the star addressed ESPN's SportsCenter. "I'm just getting back into the ring and into training.

"We're having multiple fight negotiations going on with different opponents, and figuring out what the perfect next step [for me] is.

"Then, hopefully, we'll get into MMA in 2027. I've been saying I want to do MMA. It just never has made sense [until this juncture.

"Now, it makes sense with these two companies combined. So it's going to be very exciting. I'll be busy in boxing and MMA fights."
