      by

      JAKE PAUL has a list of five star-studded names to fight after his controversial clash against Mike Tyson. The YouTuber-turned-boxer welcomes heavyweight boxing icon Tyson back to the ring on November 15 in Texas.They were initially scheduled to fight on July 20 but 58-year-old Iron Mike was forced out amid a health precaution. Paul, 27, instead stopped replacement opponent Mike Perry, 32, in six rounds after three knockdowns. It was the latest name ticked off the American’s hit-list but there remains a few more in his sights. Paul said on the Nelk Boys podcast: “[Alex] Pereira, [Conor] McGregor, Canelo, KSI, Tommy Fury.” READ MORE IN BOXINGUFC light-heavyweight champion Pereira, 37, was a shock name Paul called out after beating Perry. He is a former kickboxing champ and two-division title holder in the UFC who has teased a move into boxing before. McGregor, 36, has been a long-time target of Paul’s but the Irishman still has two bouts left on his current UFC contract. He was given special permission to face Floyd Mayweather, 47, in 2017 but the UFC deemed it a one-time exemption. Most read in SportCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSCanelo, 34, meanwhile is boxing’s top pay-per-view attraction and has refused to rule out a fight with Paul in the past. Fury, 25, is the only man to beat Paul following their February 2023 grudge match in Saudi Arabia. Jake Paul announces shock plans to enter 2028 Olympics in LAAnd the defeated American has called for a rematch ever since. KSI, 31, is by far Paul’s greatest rival dating back to the British celebrity’s win over his older brother Logan, 29, in 2019. But a disagreement in weight has seen talks collapse in recent years. Paul’s last three fights have been at the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb while he prepares to move up to heavyweight to face Tyson. KSI on the other hand last boxed at 183lb the night he was controversially beaten by Fury. And Paul admitted: “It’s honestly the difficulty in figuring out the weight, the original deal was 185 but we’re both way over that. READ MORE SUN STORIES”He’s walking around at 205 and I’m at 212, the lowest I could go to now would be 195, and that would be difficult. “So, it’s about figuring that out. He can have anything he wants, the fight’s going to be in London, I just need him to compromise on the weight.” KSI and Jake Paul clashing in the ring in 2020Credit: Getty Images – Getty More
