Jake Paul has aimed for the stars in his eight-man 'hit list' of future opponents by including Conor McGregor, Canelo Alvarez and even his big brother Logan.
The YouTuber star turned professional boxer seems to be overlooking his upcoming bout against former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley which takes place on August 29.
The 24-year-old posed on Instagram alongside a list of both former and potential future opponents, crossing out Gib, Nate Robinson and Ben Askren before naming his next targets.
With Woodley followed by Cancelo and either Nate or Nick Diaz, Kamaru Usman is comes before Timmy (Tommy) Fury, Conor McGregor, KSI, Gervonta Davies and finally Logan Paul.
After beating YouTuber AnEsonGib and former professional basketball player Nate Robinson, Paul stepped up in opponent by beating former UFC star Ben Askren in some style.
Although Woodley did hold the UFC Welterweight belt between 2016 and 2019, he has lost his last four fights with the promotion and failed to go the distance in his last two.
Despite that, Woodley is confident that he will stop Paul's plans in their tracks during their Showtime Sports meeting before the month is out.
The 39-year-old told Fight Hub TV in July: "When people press me, they get knocked the f*** out, every single time."
How would Jake Paul fare against Canelo Alvarez? Let us know in the comments section
The most dangerous fighter on Paul's list is arguably P4P king Canelo, who was the subject of conversation when Jake appeared on talkSPORT earlier this month.
He said: “Anything is possible – my goal is to become a world champion to laugh and say I did it. Ultimate fight would be against Canelo.
“It’s about making history and proving people wrong – I want to leave an everlasting legacy. I know I can become one of the best in the world in this sport.
“Boxing is the perfect way to prove haters wrong.”
"My coach asks me all the time to define me why, you know 'Why are you doing this?'
"For me, it's about making history and proving people wrong, I want to change the sport of boxing forever, leaving an everlasting impact.
"I want to show all the people who have doubted me and said 'Oh he's not a boxer, he's not a professional, he's a YouTube kid and not a real fighter'.
"I want to show all of them that I'm legit because I am."
