Who will Jake Paul fight next after defeating Mike Tyson? The YouTube star was not ready to identify his next opponent just yet.

Paul did have some pointed words to say towards star boxer Canelo Alvarez who many have penned as a potential target. As for the Tyson fight, Paul cruised to victory as the legendary boxer's age showed in his return to the ring.

Paul took advantage of the 31-year age gap between the two fighters. It did not look like a fair match as Tyson's lack of stamina showed throughout the match. The boxing event had already been pushed back as Tyson recovered from an ulcer.

After the match, Tyson insisted he was not done fighting. Tyson floated the idea of boxing Jake Paul's brother Logan Paul.

As for Alvarez, the boxer does not seem keen on the idea of fighting Paul. This is not stopping the star from shooting his shot with a little bit of shade towards the boxer.

"Canelo, needs me, so I'm not even going to try and call him out," Paul told Netflix's Ariel Helwani after defeating Tyson. "He knows he wants a payday. So, he knows where the money man is at."

Back in March, Alvarez told TMZ that he did not plan to watch the Paul-Tyson fight. The star boxer added that it was "more show than fight."

"Not at all, not at all," Alvarez said of potentially watching the Netflix match. "No, nothing."
