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.

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.

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.

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
