Internet celebrity Jake Paul is taking the next step in his professional fighting career—as well as his run as a major antagonist of the UFC—joining the Professional Fighters League (PFL) on a contract that includes equity in the company.

Paul signed a multiyear deal with the PFL to compete in the new “Super Fight” division and will participate in pay-per-view bouts starting in 2023, according to The New York Times. He does not yet have a fight on the schedule, and the terms of the deal with him and business partner Nakisa Bidarian have not been disclosed.
