Jake Paul has revealed plans to stage a boxing event in the UK, with Tommy Fury his priority match-up - and Anthony Joshua a potential plan B.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer, who recently signed British fighters Ellie Scotney and Savannah Marshall to his Most Valuable Promotions roster, is plotting an MVP show on British soil.
"We would love to," Paul said.
"I'd love to come back to the UK and maybe for Anthony Joshua, maybe Madison Square Garden, who knows? But I'd love to fight in the UK and we'll definitely do an event there."

Joshua, 35, has not returned to the ring since his knockout defeat to Daniel Dubois in September and has undergone elbow surgery.
The American is eager to avenge his sole professional defeat against Fury, who beat him via split decision in Saudi Arabia in 2023.
"I would love to avenge the loss 1,000 per cent," Paul stated.
However, he claims Fury has made unrealistic financial demands for a rematch, having previously turned down a £6 million offer to fight Paul on Netflix last year.
Paul insists Fury has "priced himself out" of a potential rematch.
"I'm on a path to world championship and if Tommy gets realistic we can make that happen. But he's just like out-priced himself," he said.

GettyThe 28-year-old emphasised that whilst Fury needs him, the reverse isn't true. "I'm the only thing that Tommy has. I don't need Tommy," Paul stated, adding that "there's 15 people with massive names waiting to fight me."
Fury, 26, underwent hand surgery after rejecting the multimillion-pound offer last year, with Mike Tyson ultimately stepping in as Paul's opponent instead.
Paul returns to the ring on Saturday in California against former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, on DAZN pay-per-view.
The bout marks his return to cruiserweight after facing Mike Tyson at heavyweight.

He highlighted his achievements, including winning Knockout of the Year and staging "the most watched fight ever," stating: "The only thing left to do in the sport is to become world champion."
