And amid a chorus of boos inside the Honda Center - Paul called out WBA and WBO champion Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez - who fought on his undercard.
He said: "I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion. Zurdo looked slow as s*** tonight, that'd be easy work too.
"Badou Jack, I want everybody. Anthony Joshua, Gervonta (Davis) and Tommy, stop running."
Fury, 26, handed Paul, 28, his first and so far only defeat after his split-decision win in 2023.
Ramirez, 34, retained his cruiserweight titles by beating Yuniel Dorticos on the undercard and Jack, 41, is the current WBC champion.
He said: "That's the goal, that's why we're here. That's the only thing I haven't accomplished in the sport of boxing, right?

Sporting refuse to budge on Gyokeres fee – but admit Arsenal target WILL leave ‘unless he has worst agent in the world'

ARSENAL have been told by Sporting Lisbon they will NOT budge on their Viktor Gyokeres valuation in another transfer window hammerblow. And the Portuguese giants' president Frederico Varandas has 4 Viktor Gyokeres finally loos set for a Prem switch this summer Credit: Getty 4 Benjamin Sesko remains another option for Arsenal and Co Credit: Getty Boss Arteta was hoping to land the Swede for a bargain price, but Varandas has doubled down on only selling the star for a fair market value, citing Varandas has even threatened to keep Gyokeres in Portugal if Arsenal continue to low ball, hoping to receive close to £70m to seal the switch. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL He said: 'Sporting is very calm regarding Viktor Gyokeres. We do not need to sell him, but we remain sensitive to the dreams of Viktor and any of our athletes. 'After weeks of meetings, we are not asking for the release clause and will be reasonable regarding the price we ask for Viktor. Today, I believe there is a strong probability he will leave. 'We have been watching the market and I saw [Martin] Zubimendi, who is six months younger than Viktor, leave for £51million. "I saw Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, both forwards but who, in my opinion, do not have Viktor's market value or quality, being negotiated for around £64m. Most read in Football 4 The Swede amassed stunning stats in the Portuguese top flight BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Inside Arsenal's frustrating striker transfer saga By Jordan Davies ARSENAL'S never-ending hunt for a world-class striker is in turmoil as deals for Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres stall. The Gunners were confident of doing their business quickly this summer after months of preparation by boss Mikel Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta. But inflated asking prices and broken gentlemen's agreements have derailed those plans and left Arsenal frustrated. Sesko believed he would be allowed to leave RB Leipzig for around £60million, while SunSport understands Gyokeres was told £59m would be enough to seal his own exit. But those price-tags have gone up, leaving Arsenal debating whether they represent value for money. While the players' camps are also growing restless, knowing the Gunners can only sign one of them. So what next? Will Arsenal keep waiting in the hope of fees eventually going down? Or turn to other targets, like Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike? Whatever they decide, with pre-season looming and the fixtures already out, Arteta will be desperate for them to move quickly to avoid another nearly season. 'Given the demands we consider fair, I believe Viktor could leave – unless he has the worst agent in the world, which is hard for me to believe, because he is one of the best footballers in the world. 'The player knows, the agent knows, and I can guarantee, with absolute certainty, that Viktor will not leave for £60m.' Liverpool's £100m Barcola bid / Gyokeres forces Man Utd move / Grealish City axe | Transfers Exposed Christian Norgaard to Arsenal LATEST | Transfers Exposed United – who are also monitoring Gyokeres' situation – have already signed Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m this summer and have also seen multiple bids rejected for Mbeumo. Arsenal are set to announce the arrival of midfielder Zubimendi, and are in talks to sign Valencia centre back Christian Mosquera for around £20m. Varandas said: 'If Viktor stays, we will be very, very happy – and it will be a problem for our rivals. 'We are completely prepared to move for our target if Viktor leaves.' Gyokeres is currently on holiday after international duty with Sweden and is due to report back for pre-season in Lisbon on July 7 unless a deal is struck before then. Arsenal are in a similar mess with 22-year-old Sesko, who is angry over Leipzig's hard-ball stance, demanding £70m despite a lower initial gentleman's agreement in January. 4

Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn rematch confirmed with pair to renew bitter rivalry in September

CHRIS EUBANK JR vs Conor Benn 2 has been announced. The rematch will take place on September 20, Ring Magazine have confirmed. 2 Chris Eubank vs Conor Benn 2 has been confirmed Credit: Reuters 2 Eddie Hearn predicts another 'toe-to-toe war' Credit: Getty The fight will be a Riyadh Season event and will be promoted by Sela, Boxxer and Matchroom. A venue has not been confirmed but the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which hosted the first bout, is an option. Wembley could also host the fight and the final decision will be made by Turki Alalshikh and Ring Magazine, Benn's promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed. He said: "Spurs is contracted — it's a fantastic stadium and it worked extremely well the first time. "Obviously, it was sold out and this fight's even bigger, so you could possibly look at Wembley to increase the capacity, but that will be a decision for His Excellency and Ring Magazine to make the final call." Eubank had to shed considerable weight for the fight in April and came out on top in 12 thrilling rounds. But he then had to spend days in hospital as medics kept a close watch on his condition. Despite that, Hearn believes the rematch will be a continuation of their April 27 clash, predicting another war. Most read in Boxing CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS He continued: "I just think the second fight will be even better. "They're not going to change. They're going to come out from the first bell and just carry on like the 13th round. And when you see a fight like that, for me, the automatic thing to do is to do the rematch. I was Willing to Die in the Ring Chris Eubank Jr on his Brutal Battle with Benn | Split Decision "The fight was always going to be two fights, but sometimes a fight's one-sided or it ends early and there isn't really the appetite for the rematch. "I think here, now with Conor having that activity, which is something that was lacking from the first fight as well, we really fancy our chances. "We know the weight's a disadvantage and that showed a little bit in the first fight, but fans can just expect a continuation of the 12th round and it'll be another toe-to-toe war."
