Jake Paul wants to box UFC president Dana White as he names bucket list that includes Canelo Alvarez, Floyd Mayweather, Mike Tyson and Tyson Fury

You cannot accuse Jake Paul of lacking confidence as he named his ‘boxing bucket list’.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer is 5-0 as a fighter and brutally knocked out Tyron Woodley last weekend.

So far, Paul has fought a former NBA star, fellow YouTuber and two ex-UFC fighters.

Now he wants to take on the biggest names in combat sports history, and settle a few rivalries along the way.

The 24-year-old named his boxing bucket list on Twitter as he continues to make waves in the sport.

He wrote: “My boxing bucket list: 1) Canelo Alvarez 2) Floyd Mayweather 3) Mike Tyson 4) Tyson Furry (sic) 5) Dana White.”

Paul has previously spoken of his desire to fight pound-for-pound king Canelo, while his brother Logan has already faced Mayweather in the ring.

Tyson was the baddest man on the planet, but still a hugely popular figure and made a comeback to the ring himself this year for an exhibition fight.

Paul has plenty of beef with the Fury family and was due to face Tommy this month, before the British boxer had to pull out due to illness and injury.

Now he wants to face Tommy’s older brother and heavyweight champion, Tyson, in the ring – he has previously said that if Fury comes down to cruiserweight he will take him on.

Last on his list is Dana White, the UFC president – the pair have exchanged many heated words in recent months.

Paul has accused White of not paying his fighters properly.

Speaking on his brother Logan’s podcast, he said: “I make more than every UFC fighter f****** combined, including Conor.

“Y’all work for f****** Dana, y’all work for WME, Endeavor, that’s who you work for.

“I make more than all of you silly motherf******. Why would I go into the UFC? Sign a contract and give away my f****** rights and s***.

“I own my content, I own my platform, I own everything. They don’t own s***, they are literally employees.

“I’m a f****** CEO and every UFC fighter is an employee. Get that straight. I’m not coming over there and doing s*** with y’all.”
