A former Canelo rival and a three-weight world champion - Jake Paul's path to a world title shot
Jake Paul returns to action this week when he faces former world middleweight champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr , live on DAZN .
Victory for Paul will keep him on a path towards what he believes he is capable of achieving and that is becoming world champion.
Bigger tests lie ahead for the popular influencer if he is to become world champion, and that will mean he will be testing himself against some of the best names in the sport.
Here, DAZN News looks at five fights after Chavez Jr that could see Paul become world champion.
Rocky Fielding
Another former world champion with experience at the highest level, Rocky Fielding is consistently putting himself in the mix for big fights against the likes of Jake Paul, KSI, and Darren Till.
The Liverpool man has not fought since he was stopped by Dan Azeez in 2022, but could the former Canelo Alvarez rival be the next man for Paul to build further experience against on his way to the top?
Cheavon Clarke
Mark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing
Eddie Hearn once offered Cheavon Clarke to Jake Paul when the pair clashed during an interview when Katie Taylor was about to do battle.
Then, the British cruiserweight was a prospect with all the potential in the world, but consecutive defeats, his most recent to Viddal Riley , means that Paul could be catching the Olympic star at a good time.
Lukasz Rozanski
A former world champion at bridgerweight, Lukasz Rozanski has flirted between cruiserweight and heavyweight in his pursuit of big honours.
Paul will want to match Lawrecne Okolie in stopping Rozanski and such a result could provide with him a confidence boost ahead of a potential eliminator.
Chris Billam-Smith
(Mark Robinson Matchroom Boxing)
A former world champion who has been in with elite names, Chris Billam-Smith is not an easy fight for anyone at cruiserweight.
Eager to be world champion again, Billam-Smith and Paul could clash with the winner moving on to face one of cruiserweight’s world champions.
Badou Jack
Jake Paul’s maiden world title shot, a fight he has often promised he could land, could take place against the vastly experienced Badou Jack.
The Swedish star has fought some of boxing’s biggest names on his way to becoming a three-weight world champion, but will his experience and toughness allow him to prevent Paul from becoming world champion?
