JAKE PAUL called out FIVE rivals after beating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr – including two world champions and Tommy Fury.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer cruised past former middleweight world champion Chavez Jr over ten rounds.
And amid a chorus of boos inside the Honda Center – Paul called out WBA and WBO champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez – who fought on his undercard.
He said: “I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion. Zurdo looked slow as s*** tonight, that’d be easy work too.
“Badou Jack, I want everybody. Anthony Joshua, Gervonta (Davis) and Tommy, stop running.”
Fury, 26, handed Paul, 28, his first and so far only defeat after his split-decision win in 2023.

Paul has continued to call out heavyweight superstar Joshua, 35, and lightweight Davis, 30, following their talks for an exhibition earlier this year.
The American has put himself in line for a world ranking following victory over Chavez Jr, 39, with Paul’s eyes on the championship gold.
He said: “That’s the goal, that’s why we’re here. That’s the only thing I haven’t accomplished in the sport of boxing, right?
