    Jake Paul reveals ‘hefty’ six-man hit-list of opponents for next fight including Anthony Joshua and world champ

    JAKE PAUL has included Anthony Joshua in his “hefty” six-man hit-list of opponents after he fights Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The YouTuber-turned-boxer returns on June 28 against former middleweight world champion Chavez in a cruiserweight clash. Jake Paul returns against Julio Cesar Chavez JrCredit: ReutersAnthony Joshua has been called out by Jake PaulCredit: GettyBut he is targeting even bigger bouts in the future, including against 41-year-old WBC world champion Badou Jack. Paul told his Most Valuable Promotions: “After Chavez I think Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, KSI, Tommy Fury, Ryan Garcia, Badou Jack. It’s a pretty hefty list.” The American revealed he is lining up an exhibition bout against WBA lightweight champion Davis, 30, later this year. Davis, 30, was in talks to face Paul this summer until he controversially drew against Lamont Roach, 29, in March with the two set to rematch in August. READ MORE IN BOXINGPaul, 28, audaciously called out two-time heavyweight champion Joshua, 35, earlier in the year. And he has claimed the two struck a shock verbal agreement to fight in 2026. He has also voiced lofty ambitions of fighting for a world title and claimed talks are underway with Jack’s camp for a championship bout. Garcia, 26, is another big American name who was formerly friends with Paul until the two started to call each other out. Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSAnd Garcia – recently upset by Rolando Romero – revealed he would be willing to jump from 147lb to 185lb in order to fight Paul. KSI, 31, is another to have rivalled Paul for several years but a disagreement over weight has stalled talks. ‘I would’ve beaten him’ – Jake Paul blasts Canelo Alvarez’s win over William Scull and but says shock fight WILL happenPaul’s next fight is at the 14st 4lb cruiserweight limit of 200lb having beaten Mike Tyson, 58, at heavyweight weighing 227lb (16st 2lb). Meanwhile, KSI’s last fight came in defeat to Fury, 26, in October 2023 at 183lb over a STONE lighter than Paul’s fighting weight. Paul himself wants to rematch Fury after his split-decision loss in 2023 – which stands as his first and only defeat so far. He said: “I definitely think that will happen at some point Tommy just has to be realistic about what he’s worth and taking the amazing deal that we had. “I can fight any big name opponents all Tommy has is me. But I do wanna make the rematch happen and I definitely know that I’m going to destroy and knock him out. “Based off his last fight, he hasn’t got any better whereas I have two and a half years worth of more experience. “And better preparation, better coaches, better diet, better everything. Read More on The Sun”I’m just a completely different boxer than I was when we got in the ring the first time. He hasn’t improved as much. “He’s been doing this his whole life so the level that he can get to is not going to change much versus every year that goes by I can increase expediently.” Gervonta Davis is set to rematch Lamont Roach JrCredit: GettyWBC cruiserweight champion Badou Jack has been called out by Jake PaulCredit: GettyTommy Fury beat Jake Paul in 2023Credit: EPARyan Garcia has called out Jake Paul in the pastCredit: RexKSI facing off with Jake Paul in 2020Credit: Getty Images – Getty More
