From boxing champion to UFC stars and bitter rivals, Jake Paul’s list of five opponents after the Mike Tyson fight

JAKE PAUL has a star-studded list of five to fight after his controversial clash with Mike Tyson.

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 to pull out as a health precaution.

Paul, 27, instead defeated replacement opponent Mike Perry, 32, in six rounds after three knockdowns.

It was the last name on the American’s hit list, but there are still a few more in his sights.

Paul said in Nelk Boys Podcast: “[Alex] Pereira, [Conor] McGregor, Canelo, KSI, Tommy Fury.”

UFC light heavyweight champion Pereira, 37, was a shocking name Paul called after defeating Perry.

He is a former kickboxing champion and two-division UFC title holder who has hinted at a move to boxing before.

McGregor, 36, has been a long-time target of Paul, but the Irishman still has two fights remaining on his current UFC contract.

He received special permission to face Floyd Mayweather, 47, in 2017, but the UFC considered it a one-time exemption.

Meanwhile, Canelo, 34, is the main attraction on pay-per-view boxing and has refused to rule out a fight with Paul in the past.

Fury, 25, is the only man to beat Paul after their February 2023 match in Saudi Arabia.

And the defeated American has asked for a rematch ever since.

KSI, 31, is by far Paul’s biggest rival since the British celebrity’s victory over his older brother Logan, 29, in 2019.

But a major divergence led to the collapse of negotiations in recent years.

Paul’s last three fights have been at the 14lb 200lb cruiserweight limit as he prepares to move up to heavyweight to face Tyson.

KSI, on the other hand, last fought at 183 pounds the night he was controversially defeated by Fury.

And Paul admitted: “Honestly, it’s the difficulty of working out the weight, the original agreement was 185 but we’re both over that.

“He’s at 205 and I’m at 212, the minimum I could hit right now would be 195, and that would be difficult.

“So it’s a matter of figuring that out. He can have whatever he wants, the fight will be in London, I just need him to commit weight.”
