Jake Paul has no interest in taking on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr for a WBA belt.
“I want someone tougher [than Chavez] and I want a real belt, not just something that gets put up for entertainment value,” Paul said on Friday.
“It’s great and all, but, honestly, he’s easy work and I want someone tougher to shut people up."
'The Problem Child's' ultimate goal is to become a world champion but he will need to receive a ranking from a major sanctioning body before that dream can be realised - although Paul doesn't seem particularly bothered about the idea of having a number next to his name.
“F*** the rankings. It’s just a number. Who cares?” Paul said.
“People just want to classify things and do a numbers chart.
"I’ve never looked at the rankings. I couldn’t care less.
"I know I’m the best in the world and I’m going to be world champion.”
His manager, Nakisa Bidarian, then added: “The rankings are, he’s the No.1 box office draw in boxing.
"He’s ranked No.1 above everybody else. That’s why [Daniel] Dubois is calling him out, that’s why [Artur] Beterbiev is calling him out, that’s why Gervonta Davis is calling him out, that’s why Ryan Garcia is calling him out, that’s why everyone and their mom is calling out Jake Paul.
"Claressa Shields is calling him out. So it’s pretty apparent who the No.1-ranked fighter in the world is across all weight classes.”
“I mean, there’s a long line out there,” Paul said of his next opponent. “They can take a ticket and get in line to see who I want to fight next.
"I don’t say that as s*** talk – I’m the biggest payday in the sport of boxing right now, so everyone wants to fight.
"When you’re the hot girl on the block, you can do what the f*** you want.”
