Jake Paul has already set his sets on his next opponent as the YouTube star-turned boxer prepares to take on Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia.

The grudge match is finally going ahead at the third time of asking, with Paul considered to be the favourite among the bookies despite Fury being the professional boxer.

Paul also isn’t short on any confidence either, bragging he will put Fury to sleep inside four rounds.

Should the ‘Problem Child’s prediction come true, he’s set to waste no time at all when it comes to planning for his next fight.

Paul revealed he’s already in talks with UFC legend Nate Diaz, who is now a free agent.

“One hundred per cent,” Paul told Sky Sports on the chances of a bout against Diaz.

“There’s animosity there. His team is ready, my team is ready. We’re in talks.

“Pretty much everything is queued up ready to go. So I’m going to get through Sunday then move on to Nate Diaz.”

If a salivating bout against Diaz isn’t enough motivation, there’s also a WBC world ranking on the cards for Paul or Fury.

It’s a controversial move by the WBC considering Fury is the first professional boxer Paul has faced, but it’s a clear indication of the social media star’s growing reputation in the sport and he’s only too happy to be catapulted into the rankings.

“I think it’s cool if they want to rank me, that’s fine,” Paul said.

“It’s not up to me. I’m not in control of the WBC and whatever it is they want to do.”
