Jake Paul has been cleared to resume fighting after recovering from a broken jaw, and he has already revealed a list of high‑profile opponents he hopes to face in both boxing and mixed‑martial‑arts.

Among the names on his wish list are boxing champion Canelo Alvarez and former UFC middleweight Nate Strickland, as well as other big names in the sport.

The clearance follows a period of medical treatment and rehabilitation after the jaw injury that sidelined the former YouTuber‑turned‑professional boxer.

Paul’s return has drawn attention from fans and promoters alike, who are eager to see whether he can step up to the level of the fighters he has named.

In addition to boxing, he has hinted at potential cross‑sport matchups, signalling a desire to test himself against top talent in multiple disciplines.

While no official fight date has been announced, Paul remains in training and is reportedly looking forward to securing a bout with one of the names on his list.
