JUST IN: LOGAN PAUL BREAKS SILENCE ON ESPN REGARDING JAKE’S FUTURE FIGHTING PLANS

After losing to Anthony Joshua, Jake Paul is pausing boxing to support Jutta Leerdam’s 2026 Olympic gold medal pursuit in Italy.

JUST IN: Logan Paul Breaks Silence on ESPN Regarding Jake’s Future Fighting Plans
Jake Paul’s 2026 Boxing Schedule Changed

After his second loss, Jake Paul is switching gears in early 2026.

His business partner gave an update recently, saying that Jake should be back in the ring after he heals up from his broken jaw.

Even though MVP Nakisa Bidarian thinks ‘The Problem Child’ will fight next year, it sounds like the star has other stuff he's more focused on.

Even with folks suggesting matchups with guys like Conor McGregor, those fights don't seem likely. Jake even mentioned last Friday that he wants a break.

Now, his brother is saying it's not just about healing up.

Logan Paul shared some info on what Jake is up to in the coming months.

Logan Paul chilled with Anthony Joshua in the ring after watching his brother lose at the Kaseya Centre in Miami.

Jake has been pretty open about his injuries and how he's recovering after his first loss.

His brother, Logan, talked about Jake's next move on ESPN’s First Take.

Logan said he doesn't know exactly when Jake will be back in the ring, but spilt the beans on something else big that's coming up in Jake's life.

It's not just his jaw that's keeping Jake from getting back into fighting shape ASAP.

“I know for a fact we will see him back in the ring. I also know that his fiancée, Jutta Leerdam, is trying to win Olympic gold in speed skating in February. So, our family is really behind Jutta; she is the priority. If we can add an Olympic gold medalist to the family, the Pauls will be going nuts.”

Logan Paul thinks Jake Paul’s loss went ‘exactly as it was supposed to.’

Logan Paul thought Jake might surprise Anthony Joshua in the ring.

But on ESPN’s First Take, he said it's easy to get caught up in what his brother believes he can make happen.

“Logically, I think it went down as it should have,” Logan said. I don’t think many people thought Jake would beat Anthony Joshua.

“Being his brother and close to him, he has this strong conviction that makes you believe. He can bend reality into his vision, which makes you think he'll win. Still, I think the fight went completely as I expected.”

THE EIGHT-FIGURE GAMBLE: CONOR BENN SIGNS A MASSIVE ONE-FIGHT DEAL WITH ZUFFA BOXING

Conor Benn joins Zuffa Boxing! Discover why he left Eddie Hearn, the details of his 8-figure deal, and Dana White's global plans.

Conor Benn officially joins Zuffa Boxing after a decade with Eddie Hearn

Zuffa Boxing just landed one of the top welterweights out there, Conor Benn. The up-and-coming promotion announced Benn’s signing, adding even more star power to its growing roster.

Benn, 29, is riding high after a huge win over Chris Eubank Jr last November, finally getting his revenge after Eubank handed him his first-ever loss just seven months before. Right now, Benn stands at 24-1, with 14 knockouts. He’s held the WBA Continental Europe Welterweight title, too. There’s no date or opponent set for his Zuffa debut yet, but this is a big move for Dana White and his crew, who are serious about building a roster packed with champions and big names.

“I’m filled with excitement and hunger for what’s ahead with Zuffa Boxing,” Benn said in a press release. “I want the legacy fights, the biggest nights, the biggest stages. I fear no man at any weight, and I’m ready to give the fans the fights they’ve been calling for. I’m in my prime, and together we have bold, ambitious plans.”

Dana White is just as fired up. “Conor Benn is an absolute beast and a superstar,” he said. “He shows up every time and destroys people, and now some of the best fighters in the world are calling him out. He’s ready for a world title next, and I can’t wait to see him compete in Zuffa Boxing. He’s going to be a huge addition to a growing stable of very talented boxers.”

Sports Illustrated reports that Benn’s contract is a one-fight, eight-figure deal, though neither White nor Benn has confirmed that.

This move also heats the ongoing rivalry between Dana White and Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn. Benn had been with Hearn ever since he turned pro in 2016, but now he’s switched sides. Earlier this year, White and his team also grabbed IBF and The Ring cruiserweight champ Jai Opetaia, another former Hearn fighter.

Lately, Hearn and White have been trading shots in the media, which is wild considering they used to get along before White jumped into boxing. With two big signings already in the bag, Zuffa is out to prove it means business. And you just know they’re not stopping here.

CRIS CYBORG EYES HISTORY: MMA LEGEND SET FOR WIBA WORLD TITLE BOXING MATCH ON MARCH 28

Cris Cyborg makes history! Discover how she plans to hold MMA and boxing world titles simultaneously on March 28 in Brazil.

Cris Cyborg confirms 2026 will be her final year in professional fighting

Cris Cyborg is about to chase a slice of history on March 28.

Since leaving the UFC back in 2019, the former featherweight champ hasn’t slowed down one bit. She grabbed the Bellator 145-pound title, then picked up another belt in the Professional Fighters League. It’s like every time she shows up somewhere new, she leaves with gold.

Now, in 2026, Cyborg says she’s on her retirement tour. But she’s not just coasting to the finish line; she’s still looking to add something big to her legacy. This time, she’s stepping into a boxing ring, not an MMA cage.

It’s been a while since Cyborg lost a fight. That was back at UFC 232 against Amanda Nunes. Since then? She’s rattled off nine straight wins in MMA, but that’s only half the story. She started boxing in 2022, and she hasn’t lost there either: seven wins, no defeats.

On March 28, Cyborg gets her biggest boxing test yet. She’ll fight Paulina Cardona for the WIBA super welterweight belt. Winning would make her the first fighter ever to hold world titles in both MMA and boxing at the same time. Big names like Amanda Serrano and Holly Holm have held this belt before, so it’s not just any title.

Journalist James Lynch broke the news online and pointed out just how rare this accomplishment would be. If Cyborg pulls it off, she’ll stamp her name in the record books, plain and simple.

Let’s talk about her opponent. Cardona’s been in the ring a lot – 68 pro fights, to be exact – but her record isn’t exactly stellar. She’s 27-34-7, has been knocked out 15 times, and has only managed two wins in her last 14 outings. So, yeah, Cyborg’s the clear favourite here, and people are already raising eyebrows about the level of competition she’s been facing in boxing.

Still, history’s on the line in Curitiba, Brazil. All eyes are on Cyborg to see if she can pull off something no one else has done before.
