Jake Paul has listed five star names to fight after his controversial bout with Mike Tyson.
The YouTuber-turned-boxer welcomed heavyweight boxing icon Tyson to the ring on November 15 in Texas.

Their fight was originally scheduled for July 20, but the 58-year-old Iron Mike had to pull out due to health precautions.
Instead, the 27-year-old Paul stopped his substitute opponent, 32-year-old Mike Perry, in six rounds after suffering three knockdowns.
This is the latest name on the American’s hit-list, but he still has his eye on a few more.
Paul said Nelk Boys Podcast: “(Alex) Pereira, (Conor) McGregor, Canelo, KSI, Tommy Fury.”
Pereira, 37, the UFC light-heavyweight champion, was a surprise name taken by Paul after he defeated Perry.
He is a former kickboxing champion and two-division titleholder in the UFC who has previously talked about moving into boxing.
McGregor, 36, has long been a target of Paul’s, but the Irishman still has two fights remaining on his current UFC contract.
He was granted special permission to face 47-year-old Floyd Mayweather in 2017, but the UFC considered it a one-time exemption.

Meanwhile, Canelo, 34, is boxing’s top pay-per-view attraction and has not ruled out a bout with Paul in the past.
Fury, 25, is the only man to have beaten Paul since their February 2023 match in Saudi Arabia.
And the defeated American has since demanded a rematch.
KSI, 31, is Paul’s biggest rival to date since the British celebrity’s win over his older brother Logan, 29, in 2019.
But negotiations have collapsed in recent years because of disagreements over weight.
Paul’s last three fights have taken place at the 200-pound cruiserweight limit of 14 stone 4 pounds, while he is preparing to move up to heavyweight to face Tyson.
KSI, on the other hand, last weighed 183 pounds the night Fury controversially defeated him.
Paul admitted: “To be honest it’s hard to find out the weight, the original deal was 185lbs but we’re both a lot heavier than that.

“He’s running at 205 and I’m at 212, the lowest I can go now is 195, and that will be tough.
“So, it’s about figuring that out. He can do whatever he wants, the fight is in London, I just want him to compromise on the weight.”
