Jake Paul has announced his boxing return in the month of February next year. But the opponents he admitted to taking shots at are very interesting. Though he has talked about these names prior, this time he seems more confident.

He came into action after the release of the fastest-earning athlete’s list. He took to Twitter and wrote, “Big-money men only on this list. I’m 25, Canelo is 32, Tyson & Conor are 34. Next fight in February. Offers out tomorrow to 3 potential opponents.”

According to ‘The Problem Child’, his potential opponents are the UFC megastar Conor McGregor, the former pound-for-pound Canelo Alvarez, and heavyweight icon Tyson Fury.

Since he defeated UFC great Anderson Silva, he is considering himself a fighter, who can challenge any champion. Meanwhile, ‘The Problem Child’ is overlooking the fact that his opponents were never legit boxers. It would be an entirely different scenario when he would meet an established boxer who is practicing hooks and jabs for decades.

But before this, the most important thing is how these three big names react to Paul’s proposal.

Where is Jake Paul on fastest earning athlete’s list?

It is surprising to know that Paul has made his place on the list despite the fact that he is not a world-class athlete. He finished this list in 4th position. According to the report, It took him 1 minute, and 28 seconds to earn $1 million.

The list is topped by ‘The Notorious’ McGregor. He made $1 M in just 9 seconds. He wrote, “9 seconds to a mill. And still, I’ve faster KO’s my record”.

It has taken decades of training for these athletes, but Paul did it in just a few years. These milestones boost Paul’s confidence. So it is no surprise when he calls out these fighters for a match.
