And the 24-year-old is already thinking about who he could pit his wits against next after naming his wishlist.

Speaking to ESPN, Paul revealed that Tyson, McGregor, Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez are all on his radar.

He said: “I was the second highest paid fighter this year – only behind Canelo – and this is my second year of boxing.

“So the potential is massive. There’s big fights down the line.

“Mayweather, McGregor, Tyson, whoever it is, all of them, Canelo. Anyone.”

MIKE TYSON

Former world heavyweight champion Tyson revealed in October that he would be willing to fight Jake or his brother Logan.

He then followed that up by stating that he would knock out Jake ‘so f****** easy’ should the pair ever come to blows.

Asked on the Full Send Podcast if he could KO Paul, Tyson said: “So f***ing easy. Yeah, but I would never.

“I’d be against my own f***ing family. They love this little white motherf****er You know what I mean?

“He got balls. He’s got f***ing balls. When you see a white boy with balls, you know. I’m talking about for real, but f*** you motherf***er. Yeah, but nah man, let him have his f***ing reign.”

CONOR McGREGOR

Paul has long been chasing a fight against the Notorious, with the American insisting last month he would beat the MMA star.

He then announced earlier this week that his team and McGregor’s camp are in constant talks about a bout inside the squared circle.

Paul told Graham Bensinger: “His manager is good friends with my manager and another one of my advisors and they talk constantly about making it happen.

“They’re like, ‘Yeah we’re down, we’re about it’.”

CANELO ALVAREZ

Paul is confident a bout to face four-weight world champion Canelo, who he trolled in November with an impression of him, will materialise in the next few years.

And he recently hit out at one of the opponents the Mexican ace fought earlier this year, as he vowed to put up a better fight than Avni Yildirim.

He remarked: “I will fight Canelo 100 per cent. Look at this guy Avni Yildirim. His nickname was ‘The Turkish Warrior’. He got to fight Canelo.

“He sat down in the corner and quit. He didn’t throw a punch. Why can he get the fight but I can’t? I’m bigger than that guy. I’m stronger.

“It’s not about how long you’ve been doing something. It’s about how right you have been doing it.”

FLOYD MAYWEATHER

Mayweather fought Paul’s sibling Logan earlier this year, with the duo going the full eight rounds in their exhibition bout.

Prior to that dust-up, Jake had infuriated Mayweather by taking his hat off his head, resulting in a mass brawl with punches thrown.

Jake claimed that Mayweather then tried to get him ‘killed behind the scenes’ by ‘gangsters’.

A potential fight between the two was mooted in October, though nothing come off it.
