Jake Paul's next three fights clear after calling out five rivals

Jake Paul wants a rematch with Tommy Fury before taking on Anthony Joshua next year - but the YouTuber could face Gervonta Davis next.

Paul outpointed Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in California on Saturday night to extend his record to 12-1 and move a step closer to a world title shot. The YouTuber called out five fighters in his post-fight interview, including cruiserweight world champions Gilberto Ramirez and Badou Jack, but his business partner later made his targets clear.

"I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion. Zurdo looked slow as s*** tonight. That’d be easy work, too," said Paul. “Badou Jack. I want everybody. Anthony Joshua, Gervonta. And Tommy, stop running. I’m hustling, getting warmed up. You’ve already seen my face, get used to seeing it more." Asked when he wants to return, he added: "As soon as possible. I’m staying active, I’m fighting everybody."

Paul's partner Nakisa Bidarian later confirmed Paul will target a rematch with Fury having lost to the Brit in 2023. "If it's not for the title, then it's looking at Tommy, if he's reasonable, then Anthony Joshua. He's adamant he wants to make that fight happen at the end of 2026 and we're going to meet with Matchroom when we're in New York for the greatest trilogy in the history of boxing, Amanda Serrano vs Katie Taylor 3."

But according to Eddie Hearn, Paul has already agreed an exhibition bout with lightweight world champion Davis, assuming he comes through his rematch with Lamont Roach. Asked about a potential fight between Paul and Joshua, Hearn said: "We know that Gervonta [Davis] is going to fight Jake Paul in November. Then, we'll see what happens. It'll be interesting to go from Gervonta Davis to Anthony Joshua."

Paul was never in trouble against Chavez Jr but was unable to stop an opponent whose only fight in the last four years had been against former UFC star Uriah Hall. But Paul was nevertheless delighted with his performance.

"It was flawless," he said. "I think I only got hit ten times. Really he just survived and I thought I did great, going 10 rounds against a former world champion who has never been stopped. He’s in there with Canelo, all of these guys, and I embarrassed him like that. Easy work."
