Jake Paul confirms boxing bucket list with big-name opponents: Canelo, Fury & more YouTube: Showtime SportsSocial media star turned undefeated boxer Jake Paul has revealed his boxing bucket list, and there are quite a few high-profile names on there. Ever since he first stepped into the boxing ring in a professional capacity, Jake Paul has been calling out big names and teasing the possibility of mouth-watering fights. He\u2019s been in a long-time war of words with Conor McGregor, he\u2019s almost come to blows with Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather, and has recently gone after UFC star Jorge Masvidal. Following his stunning knockout victory over Tyron Woodley in their last-minute rematch, the focus has switched to who Jake will fight in 2022. Even though he doubts that he and Tommy Fury will finally square off, he\u2019s got a boxing bucket list that includes some of the toughest fighters around. Just like before the first Woodley fight, Jake has kept just one of the names from his longer boxing \u2018hit list\u2019 on his \u2018bucket list\u2019, that being Mexican superstar Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez. Just behind the pound-for-pound king, Jake has also added Floyd \u2018Money\u2019 Mayweather to his list. There are also spots for Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury \u2013 with the latter threatening to \u2018back hand\u2019 Jake and his brother Logan before. On the bottom of his bucket list, however, is UFC president Dana White. While not an actual fighter, Jake and the UFC boss have traded verbal jabs over a number of different topics. My boxing bucket list: 1) Canelo Alvarez 2) Floyd Mayweather 3) Mike Tyson 4) Tyson Furry 5) Dana White\u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) December 23, 2021 Now, whether or not Jake will get to square off with any of them is a different story. In recent months, Canelo has softened his stance on the Paul brothers\u2019 foray into boxing, but remains leagues ahead of Jake in the ring. Fury is the only other active boxer on the list, and he\u2019s in a totally different weight class to Jake. Tyson and Floyd have taken exhibition bouts recently, so that may be an option at some point, and maybe Dana White can be coerced into a friendly contest. We\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
