Megan Fox in 2007 movie Transformers
Paul is adamant he will one day
And ranking the trio, Paul said: "Zurdo and Jai are probably tied for No1 and I would say Badou is No2.
"But all formidable opponents and we're in conversations with Zurdo and also Badou as potential fights for next year."

But like Hollywood's Fox - who became every teenager's dream girl after her 2007 role in Transformers - Paul argued he has too many suitors to contend with.
He said: "No, there is. But look, I'm like Megan Fox from the Transformers movie - everyone wants me!
"So there's not enough time to do it all and it could make sense. Look, it might.
"It might line up but at the end of the day, there's 100 people that want to fight me."

Paul, 28, returns on June 28 against former middleweight world Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, in California on DAZN pay-per-view.
It comes after mega-fights against Gervonta Davis, 30, and Canelo Alvarez, 34, collapsed but the world champs make Paul's seven-man shortlist of opponents.
He said: "I got Canelo, Gervonta, Anthony Joshua, Badou, Zurdo, Tommy Fury, KSI, the list keeps on going.
"So it's just about what makes sense and we'll see."
Paul's last fight was as controversial as it was commercially successful.
He beat Mike Tyson - returning aged 58 after 20 YEARS retired - over eight rounds with over

watching on Netflix.
But it also came at the cost of Paul bulking up to 227lb (16st 2lb) from his usual 14st 4lb cruiserweight fighting limit of 200lb.
And Paul admitted: "It was brutal, and I won't do that again most likely. It was just too much and my body wasn't made for it.
"And even when I got into the ring, I just felt too fat. So cruiserweight is definitely the perfect weight for me."

Today's top TV and streaming choices: Not Going Out, The Butcher Boy and The Orkney Assassin
Rásaí Beo TG4, 5.15pm & 7.15pm Seán Bán Breathnach presents live coverage from Cork Racecourse in Mallow. The action continues after the evening's news and weather. The Zoo RTÉ One, 8.30pm Zookeeper Julie meets some of the residents at Monkey World in England. Her colleague Brigitte, meanwhile, is in Wexford to help local seal rescuers prepare one of the animals in their care for its release back into the wild. Sally Bretton and Lee Mack return for the 14th series. Their alter egos, Lucy and Lee, are now empty-nesters who decide to move to the countryside. Don't Worry Darling RTÉ One, 9.35pm Director Olivia Wilde's 1950s-set thriller was much maligned on its release, but thanks to an intriguing premise, deserves another look. A suburban housewife grows increasingly concerned that her husband's company is hiding dark secrets. Florence Pugh and Harry Styles play the couple. The Butcher Boy RTÉ2, 9.45pm Dark comedy from Neil Jordan in which the behaviour of a boy from a dysfunctional family begins to spiral out of control. Eamonn Owens, Stephen Rea, Sinéad O'Connor and Milo O'Shea star. Call Her Alex Disney+, streaming now Back in October 2024, just less than a month before the election, Kamala Harris went on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Her appearance on such a highly popularised new medium was meant to nail her bid for the presidency. Instead, we have Trump and Stephen Miller in the White House and lingering whimpers of 'Why didn't Kamala go on Joe Rogan instead?' Such retrospection is, unfortunately, futile at this point. So, instead, let's find out more about Alex Cooper and what it took to become the most influential female podcaster of a generation. Directed by Ry Russo-Young (Nuclear Family), this two-part docuseries follows Cooper from a shy Pennsylvania kid to a progressive sex-and-dating podcaster, evolving over six years into the CEO of a media empire. More than a success story, it's a portrait of a person creating a space where women feel heard (and their respective others in their life can glean some often-necessary pointers). The Survivors Netflix, streaming now We're mostly used to two types of Australian viewing: soaps and super-dry (to the point of cringe) comedy. This is different. The drama follows Kieran Elliott's life after two people drown in his hometown of Evelyn Bay, Australia. To top it off, a young girl also went missing. Returning with his family 15 years later, the simmering guilt resurfaces, especially when the body of a young woman is found on the beach… K.O. Netflix, streaming now No one does visceral city grit like the French. Bastien has lived as a recluse since accidentally killing his opponent Enzo in an MMA fight three years ago. Now, Enzo's widow tracks him down as, essentially, he owes her one. Her request? Find her missing teenage son. Tyler Perry's Straw Netflix, streaming now Between this and last month's release of She the People, Mr Tyler Perry is getting himself around. This offering, however, is far more stark than May's fare. Here, one mum's day unfurls as it goes from tricky to catastrophic. Pushed to the precipice by a world that seems indifferent to her plight (until they can livestream it), she soon gets attention when she unwittingly holds up a bank. The Orkney Assassin Prime Video, streaming now The Orkney Isles lie 130 miles north of Aberdeen. It's a peaceful place with a strong sense of community. In June 1994, however, Bangladeshi waiter Shamsuddin Mahmood was working at the lone curry house when a masked man fatally shot him. This documentary revisits one of Scotland's most extraordinary murder cases, examining racism, loyalty, and the impact of trauma decades later. Ocean with David Attenborough Disney+, streaming now The man who will never retire explores stunning ocean habitats, highlighting the challenges for marine-life recovery. The Astroworld Tragedy Netflix, streaming now On November 5, 2021, Travis Scott stepped on stage to perform at Astroworld, which ended in the deaths of 10 people. An exclusive look told from the perspective of the survivors, paramedics and staff who were at the centre of this tragedy. Cocaine Air Netflix, streaming now Indeed, it's wall-to-wall documentaries this week. On March 20, 2013, four French nationals were arrested on a private jet at Punta Cana airport. On board: 700kg of cocaine in 26 suitcases. All lack the profile of an international drug smuggler, and no one knows who owns the luggage.
