Jake Paul has teased that he will be facing another high profile star after his boxing match with Mike Tyson was postponed earlier this week.

Paul was set to face the heavyweight legend in Texas on July 20 but news broke on Friday that it will no longer take place due to Tyson's recent medical issue

Netflix released a statement which read: 'unfortunately, Jake Paul and Mike Tyson will not face-off on July 20 as planned,' said Netflix.

'Tyson's recent ulcer flare-up has limited his ability to train fully for the next few weeks.

'The fight will be rescheduled for a date later this year after Mike's able to resume training with no limitations, and both fighters can have equal time to prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime matchup!

'Stay tuned for the new fight date to be announced by the end of next week.'

Following this, Paul suggested that he will be fighting fellow YouTube megastar KSI in February.

It began when Paul tweeted the Sidemen member, floating the idea of them fighting on the date that he was supposed to face Tyson.

He wrote: 'KSI's coach saying he is over 200lbs right now? So no weight excuses.

KSI already has a fight scheduled for August but seems willing to face Paul next year

'Let's run it for July 20th and then Paul Tyson in October/November.'

KSI responded, saying July wouldn't work because he already has a bout scheduled for August.

'Instead of you fighting an OAP at the end of the year (no one wants to see this) fight me in December instead,' he wrote.

Paul responded: 'I just gave KSI and his forehead the opportunity again for July. He said he's fighting in August. Cool. I'm fighting in October/November. February it is, 200 lbs, MSG, NYC.'

He later tweeted: '2 fights in February... Jake Paul vs KSI... Logan Paul vs Deji. Yall with it?'
