Jake Paul has named the five fighters he wants to face off against after his bout with Mike Tyson.

Paul, 27, has won 10 of his 11 outings so far, only losing against Tommy Fury back in February 2023.

Tyson and the YouTuber-turned-professional boxer are set to go toe-to-toe in November of this year.

Paul has drawn controversy for his seemingly selective opponent-picking over the years.

With a bout versus Tyson incoming, the controversial star has now stated which five fighters he would like to face at some point.

"[Alex] Pereira, [Conor] McGregor, Canelo, KSI, Tommy Fury," said 'The Problem Child' recently when asked who he wants to fight.

KSI is yet to face off against Paul and you feel as though the two getting it on in the ring is only a matter of time.

Complications over multiple issues have got in the way, with the 27-year-old offering an explanation recently.

"It’s honestly the difficulty in figuring out the weight, the original deal was 185 but we’re both way over that!

"He’s walking around at 205 [pounds] and I’m at 212, the lowest I could go to now would be 195, and that would be difficult!

"So, it’s about figuring that out.

"He can have anything he wants, the fight's going to be in London, I just need him to compromise on the weight."

KSI pulled out of his own scheduled double bout with Slim and Anthony Taylor, suffering an injury in the build-up.

You feel as though Paul and JJ will soon meet and the latter's coach provided reasoning behind their delayed fight.

"I can be brutally honest with you, we’ve asked for that fight a lot," Alexis Demetriades told SunSport recently, who trains KSI.

"It was offered 175, 180, cool no problem let’s do it. (Jake) didn’t want to do it.

“Remember, JJ’s fought at 170, he’s gone up to 175, 182 for Tommy, we’ll go up to 185. How much more do you want JJ to go up in weight?

“So let’s meet in the middle, Jake’s fought at 183, we’ll go up to 185.

"So we’ll go up past what he fought Tommy Fury at, which is outrageous.

“That’s 15-20lb more than JJ fights at. So we’re giving up that much plus a weight cut.

"And Jake still doesn’t want to do it.

“What do you want JJ to do? Put dumbbells in his pockets when he weighs in?

"Literally, I don’t know what else to offer.”
