Jake Paul reveals ‘hefty' six-man hit-list of opponents for next fight including Anthony Joshua and world champ
JAKE PAUL has included Anthony Joshua in his "hefty" six-man hit-list of opponents after he fights Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer returns on June 28 against former middleweight world champion Chavez in a cruiserweight clash.

But he is targeting even bigger bouts in the future, including against 41-year-old WBC world champion Badou Jack.
Paul told his Most Valuable Promotions: 'After Chavez I think Gervonta Davis, Anthony Joshua, KSI, Tommy Fury, Ryan Garcia, Badou Jack. It's a pretty hefty list."
The American revealed he is lining up an exhibition bout against WBA lightweight champion Davis, 30, later this year.
Davis, 30, was in talks to face Paul this summer until he controversially drew against Lamont Roach, 29, in March with the two set to rematch in August.
Paul, 28, audaciously called out two-time heavyweight champion Joshua, 35, earlier in the year.
And he has claimed the two struck a shock verbal agreement to fight in 2026.
He has also voiced lofty ambitions of fighting for a world title and claimed talks are underway with Jack's camp for a championship bout.
Garcia, 26, is another big American name who was formerly friends with Paul until the two started to call each other out.

And Garcia - recently upset by Rolando Romero - revealed he would be willing to jump from 147lb to 185lb in order to fight Paul.
KSI, 31, is another to have rivalled Paul for several years but a disagreement over weight has stalled talks.
'I would've beaten him' - Jake Paul blasts Canelo Alvarez's win over William Scull and but says shock fight WILL happen
Paul's next fight is at the 14st 4lb cruiserweight limit of 200lb having beaten Mike Tyson, 58, at heavyweight weighing 227lb (16st 2lb).
Meanwhile, KSI's last fight came in defeat to Fury, 26, in October 2023 at 183lb over a STONE lighter than Paul's fighting weight.
Paul himself wants to rematch Fury after his split-decision loss in 2023 - which stands as his first and only defeat so far.
He said: 'I definitely think that will happen at some point Tommy just has to be realistic about what he's worth and taking the amazing deal that we had.
"I can fight any big name opponents all Tommy has is me. But I do wanna make the rematch happen and I definitely know that I'm going to destroy and knock him out.
"Based off his last fight, he hasn't got any better whereas I have two and a half years worth of more experience.
"And better preparation, better coaches, better diet, better everything.
"I'm just a completely different boxer than I was when we got in the ring the first time. He hasn't improved as much.
"He's been doing this his whole life so the level that he can get to is not going to change much versus every year that goes by I can increase expediently."

‘Then I'm going fishing' – Dustin Johnson confirms when he'll retire as former US Open winner
DUSTIN JOHNSON has opened up on his retirement plans - just days ahead of chasing a third major title. The former World No. 1 is enduring a tough run in both the majors and LIV Golf. 2 2 Johnson, 40, has missed five of his last seven cuts in the majors. DJ shot an error-strewn +12 across his two rounds at last month's USPGA Championship. It followed another disappointing performance at the Masters, with the 2020 winner missing the weekend. Johnson has failed to finish in the top three in any LIV Golf event on his last 20 starts. He joined the Saudi-backed league in 2022 and has raked in over £50million in prize money. Johnson's former coach Butch Harmon recently questioned if the American was still committed to golf. Speaking to AP, Johnson said: "I think I've got another six years in me "I can grind for another six years. And then I'm going fishing." Johnson is preparing for the US Open later this week at Oakmont Country Club. The 40-year-old has been paired with Jordan Spieth and Jon Rahm in his round one group. Jack Nicklaus stunned as Rory McIlroy ghosts Memorial Tournament host and golf legend ahead of PGA Tour Signature event And DJ believes he's close to rediscovering his form after a tenth-placed finish at LIV Virginia last week. Johnson said: "I feel like my game's been really close. "I haven't really got a lot out of it. So it was definitely nice to have a nice finish last week [in Virginia]. I played good every day. "I was still kind of giving away some shots. I need to clean that up a little bit. Who are golf's most famous Wags?

"For me, it's always really close to being good, but just getting back there and keeping it consistent which over the last couple months I'm starting to see a lot of patterns and the game feels like it's coming back into good form."

US Open golf 2025: Free Bets – Exclusive offers, tips, odds and bonus deals
THE 125th US Open tees off this Thursday at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania. It's a familiar story, with defending champion Bryson DeChambeau and Masters winner Rory McIlroy both looking to stop favourite Scottie Scheffler, who arrives in red-hot form after winning three of his last four tournaments. SunSport's betting experts have taken a closer look at the tournament to provide you with the best bets, exclusive offers, bonus deals and amazing price boosts. The 4 best sign-up offers for the 2025 US Open Here's your opportunity to get more bang for your buck at the 2025 US Open! We've listed the best free bet and bonus offers from our industry-leading partners. William Hill William Hill are celebrating the US Open with a blockbuster offer, giving brand new punters the opportunity to get their hands on a whopping £30 in free bets and bonuses. BetMGM Tote Tote have a generous welcome bonus for new customers with a massive £30 in free bets and bonuses up for grabs when new customers place a £10 bet on golf. Midnite Midnite are treating brand new customers to a sizeable £20 in free bets to spend on the 2025 US Open plus an extra 50 free spins when they register an account and stake £10 on golf! US Open 2025 tips and predictions Our man in Oakmont, Dave Facey, has provided his top tips and best bets for the 2025 US Open. You can read his full article HERE Bryson DeChambeau is second favourite this week at a best-priced 7-1, and the defending champion makes plenty of appeal. DeChambeau won the first of his two US Open titles on another course flanked by gouge-it-out rough - at Winged Foot in 2020. His policy of making sure he is fairly close to the green if he finds the rough stuff could pay dividends again. And the big bomber actually hits it straighter than he did four years ago. After contending in both the Masters and the USPGA- making it five top six finishes in the last half a dozen Majors - there is no reason to think he will not be in the mix again here. Jon Rahm 's final placing at the USPGA - a share of 8th - did not reflect how well he played at Quail Hollow, especially in the closing round. Rahm briefly drew level with Scheffler on the back nine, before the need to keep taking risks finally caught up with him. The Spaniard was clearly the second best player on view. But he dropped down the field by frittering away a few shots at the end, although he was clearly deflated by then. There has been plenty of talk that playing on the LIV circuit has blunted Rahm's competitive edge. But he certainly looked pumped up for the USPGA. At 12-1, he also provides each way security.
