UFC legend Nate Diaz is favourite to be Jake Paul's next opponent.

That's according to bookmakers Betfair, who've installed the 36-year-old American at 7/4 to fight the YouTuber-turned-boxer.

But there are several options for Paul, who's beaten out every opponent he has faced in his short boxing career (5-0).

Tommy Fury, Anderson Silva, KSI and Conor McGregor are all considered possible contenders.

Julio Cesar Chavez J and Jorge Masvidal also feature on Betfair's list of potential opponents.

The unbeaten 25-year-old knocked out Tyron Woodley in his last fight after Briton Tommy Fury withdrew with a bacterial chest infection and broken rib.

Paul is currently taking an extended break to focus his efforts on promoting the women's super-fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

But he expects his fighting career to resume in August or September, and his trainer BJ Flores said there is no shortage of high-profile opponents.

Flores, 43, told The Schmo: "You've got to sit back and watch. He's got a lot of options. He's knocked out everybody he's fought and he's done what he had to do.

"He's got a lot of good options right now and people are beating down the door to fight him.

"We'll see what happens over the next few months and see what unravels but it'll be good whatever happens next."

But who is favourite to be Jake Paul's next opponent?

Nate Diaz is the frontrunner at odds of 7/4 with the pair having exchanged words over Twitter in recent months.

Former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is next in the betting at 2/1, and Paul has already revealed that he would like the fight.

He said: "I want the fight. We have to figure out the set-up of it – obviously he's making bold asks right off the jump.

"But he's a little cuckoo, I think everybody in the boxing industry knows that he's a little cuckoo."

Tommy Fury is available at 5/2 and is desperate to reschedule his fight with Paul after his withdrawal last year.

Anderson Silva and KSI are next at 3/1 and 7/2 respectively with Jorge Masvidal further behind at 10s.

A blockbuster clash with Conor McGregor is priced at 16/1 and Dillon Danis is outsider of the pack at 20s.
