What's next for Jake Paul?

Following his win over Anderson Silva, Paul revealed that he is determined to stay active inside the boxing ring.

During his post-fight interview, the YouTuber-turned-boxer called out former UFC fighter Nate Diaz for a boxing match. Moreover, this wasn't the only call-out 'The Problem Child' made as he even called out Canelo Alvarez:

"Nate Diaz, stop being a bit*h and fight me and Canelo, you too! You too, Canelo. You guys said, 'Oh, you can't beat someone, you can't beat a striker, you can't beat a legend like Anderson Silva.'"

"I want Nate Diaz...You too Canelo."

While the fight against Canelo Alvarez seems to be a little too far fetched at the moment, Nate Diaz could very well be Paul's next opponent. It is worth noting that Diaz also had an altercation with Paul's team backstage and allegedly slapped one of his team members.
