The YouTuber-turned-boxer and Mexican great were close to announcing a blockbuster May 3 bout in Las Vegas.

He beat Scull, 32, in Riyadh to win back the undisputed super-middleweight titles ahead of a September clash with Terence Crawford, 37.

He said: “Yeah, I think so. I think so, just because from a third party view we’re the two biggest names in the sport. “And because of that it’s just going to be fun and exciting and I like making history with big events.” Paul’s last fight was at heavyweight beating Mike Tyson – who controversially came out of retirement aged 58.

It comes after talks to rematch Tommy Fury, 26, who Paul lost to in 2023 and arch enemy KSI, 31, both failed. Paul said: “I think Julio, that conversation has always been there, and fans have always wanted it. “He’s a former world champion, super experienced, and it’s a good chip on my belt to test myself in the ring with a very, very tough opponent. “He has the name behind him, the Mexican fan base, Puerto Rico vs. Mexico, and he was actually somebody that stepped up to the table.

So, I always saw so many holes in his game. “To me it wasn’t that surprising that someone finally gave him some good work.” Paul, 28, now returns on June 28 against ex-middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez, 39, back down at cruiserweight. But the 14st 4lb limit of 200lb is still FIVE STONE above the 9st 9lb lightweight division of 135lb where Davis reigns as WBA champ.
