Berlanga Pushes Jake Paul Fight With Netflix Poster


Michael Collins - 08/09/2026 - Comments

Edgar Berlanga is attempting to drum up interest in a bout against Jake Paul, sharing a graphic on X that depicts the pair in a catchweight match on Netflix.

No official agreement exists. The image lacks a date or location, while neither Most Valuable Promotions nor Netflix has announced the matchup.

Berlanga captioned the graphic with a single emoji, letting the mock poster carry the message with Netflix and MVP branding.

The move fits Berlanga’s past efforts. He called for a contract in November 2025 when Paul needed an opponent following the cancellation of his bout with Gervonta Davis.

Paul selected Anthony Joshua instead, sharing the ring with the former heavyweight champion the following month.

Berlanga continues to target the matchup. The 29-year-old remains among several names linked to Paul, alongside Tommy Fury, Chris Eubank Jr. and Ryan Garcia.

His post keeps his name attached to Paul while the next opponent remains undecided.

A fight of this size offers an obvious financial incentive. While Berlanga can pursue major contests at super middleweight, few potential opponents command a comparable audience or offer the same earning potential.

Berlanga stopped Steven Butler on July 26 at Madison Square Garden in his latest fight. His post shows that a lucrative date with Paul remains firmly on his radar.

The poster is still speculation rather than an announcement, with Berlanga effectively advertising a fight before either side has agreed to it.
