Jake Paul reveals his five-man boxing hitlist of opponents including Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez
JAKE PAUL has drawn up a list of five boxing opponents on his hitlist.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer is coming off victory over 58-year-old Mike Tyson in November in a bout slammed over the age gap.
But still over 100 MILLION tuned in to watch on Netflix – with Paul keen to replicate that huge success.
It prompted shock talks with Mexican legend Canelo Alvarez, 34, for a Las Vegas fight in May.
But Canelo walked away to instead sign a four-bout deal with Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh.
So Paul, 28, heads back to the drawing board and revealed his dream opponents.
He told the New York Post: “There’s a lot of names. I think Gervonta [Davis], Canelo, Tommy Fury, KSI, I want Anthony Joshua.
“The list goes on and on and on and then my main goal is to become world champion and we’ll see who that is and what point in time I make that happen.”
After talks with Canelo collapsed, behind the scenes Paul’s team entered talks with WBA lightweight champion Davis.
Due to the SIX STONE weight difference between them, the fight would have been an exhibition opposed to a professionally-sanctioned bout.

But Davis, 30, is now headed for a rematch with Lamont Roach, 29, following their controversial draw.
Paul’s only defeat came in February 2023 against Fury, 25, via split-decision and there have been talks for a rematch.
KSI, 31, meanwhile is the American’s long-time rival but a dispute over their fight weight has so far stalled talks.
Canelo faces William Scull, 32, in an undisputed super-middleweight world title clash on May 4 in Saudi Arabia.
And then a super-fight against Terence Crawford, 37, is due to follow in September with UFC boss Dana White in line to promote.
Despite Paul’s feud with White, he still holds out hope for the Canelo bout, saying: “I think it will happen for sure, at the end of the day.
“Canelo is his own boss and he would never let those guys control his career.”
