Jake Paul calls out Conor McGregor, Canelo Alvarez and Gervonta Davis after Mike Tyson’s fight

Jake Paul is already looking for his next fight.

And he aims high.

The YouTuber turned boxer called up UFC superstar Conor McGregor on Saturday morning – for an MMA fight – just hours after his victory over Mike Tyson in Arlington, Texas on Friday night.

“Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170 pounds,” Paul wrote on X. “That never happens. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like it was done in the old days. But you don’t do that.”

He didn’t stop there.

In post-fight interviews, Paul also taunted super middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis, perhaps teasing the next big-name fight.

“I would be down,” Paul said of Davis at a news conference Friday evening. ‘Let’s implement it. Like, I would be super, super down.

Even before the Tyson fight, Paul was no stranger to entering the ring with famous athletes, including MMA stars Anderson Silva and Nate Diaz, ex-NBA player Nate Robinson and others.

In 12 career boxing matches, Paul is 11-1 after beating Tyson on Friday, with his only defeat coming to Tommy Fury, the younger brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, in February 2023.

Paul, 27, defeated 58-year-old Tyson, fighting an officially sanctioned fight for the first time in 19 years, by unanimous decision, 80-72, 79-73, 79-73 in a match widely derided as a snoozer.

“He’s exactly what I thought,” Paul said after the fight. “He is an icon. He’s a legend.

“I wanted to give fans a show,” Paul added. “But I didn’t want to hurt someone who didn’t need to be hurt.”
