Jake Paul told boxing career is "done" after signing deal to make MMA debut

Jake Paul has been told that his boxing career is "done" after announcing an MMA deal which will see him make his debut.

The YouTube star has generated a huge profile in combat sports which has largely been down to his six professional wins in the boxing ring over the likes of Anderson Silva and Tyron Woodley. Paul announced earlier this week that he had signed an agreement with MMA promotion PFL where he will make his debut in the cage as part of their new 'super fight' division.

It is expected that the star will first continue his boxing journey before considering any fighting switch to MMA, which could include a fight with Tommy Fury. However UFC legend Michael Bisping has claimed Paul may have realised his stint in the boxing ring is losing traction after the underwhelming numbers for his pay-per-view clash with Silva.
