Jake Paul may not make MMA debut until 2024 despite signing PFL deal

Jake Paul is expected to train for a year before making his MMA debut in the PFL.

The YouTube star has previously trained in MMA and was heavily linked with a debut, which he ideally wanted in the UFC after making numerous wagers with promotion president Dana White. However after months of negotiations, Paul announced today he has signed a deal with MMA promotion PFL to compete in the cage on a multi-fight and multi-year deal.

A fight date or opponent is yet to be set for Paul, who will first continue his boxing journey before competing in the promotion's new pay-per-view 'super-fight' division. And PFL chairman Donn Davis has suggested the opponents he intends to duel with in the cage are going to stun MMA fans.
