Jake Paul is planning to fight in MMA in 2023 after signing a deal with the Professional Fighters League (PFL).

The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who boasts an undefeated 6-0 record in the ring, is set to compete in the PFL’s new ‘Super Fight’ division, according to the New York Times.

“This is about changing MMA, disrupting, innovating, and creating the next big league,” Paul told the publication.

The biggest thing for me would be getting the kicks down. But I’m going to start now, moving forward with some extra time I have within this camp. 

“I’m going to put in some extra time, rolling around doing some jiu-jitsu and learning some kicks.”

Paul will fight multiple times in the PFL as part of the deal and has also secured the role of 'head of fighter advocacy'.

While a bout is not currently scheduled for Paul, the 25-year-old says he plans to fight this year and could feature in a 'Super Fight' event.

The division was created by the PFL and will see its fighters take 50 per cent of the event's pay-per-view revenue.
