Edgar Berlanga debuted a promotional graphic featuring a potential catchweight bout with Jake Paul on Netflix, depicting a matchup that remains unofficially announced.
The social media post lacked formal details like date, location, or partner acknowledgment, suggesting Berlanga’s proactive approach to securing a high-profile fight. No statements from Paul, Most Valuable Promotions, or Netflix have validated the claim.
Berlanga’s Pursuit of Jake Paul: A Strategic Move
This isn’t Berlanga’s first attempt to engage Paul. In late 2025, he had previously pushed for a contract, only for Paul to later face Anthony Joshua at a major event. A potential fight with Paul would offer Berlanga substantial financial and media exposure compared to opportunities at 168lbs.
Since a recent stoppage victory over Steven Butler at Madison Square Garden, Berlanga remains in talks for key bouts. While a rematch against Tommy Fury has garnered more attention, with figures like Chris Eubank Jr. and Ryan Garcia also discussed, Berlanga’s poster underscores his determination to land a marquee matchup.
