JAKE PAUL said ‘it wouldn’t be pretty’ if he met Billy Joe Saunders ‘in a street fight’ as he named Canelo Alvarez as his dream opponent.

The YouTuber, who is 3-0 in his career all by knockout, has previously called to fight Canelo in just three years time.

And he grows confidence from watching Brit Saunders and Turk Avni Yildirim – Alvarez’s last two opponents – get a shot at the Mexican superstar.

Paul, 24, audaciously told talkSPORT: “Anything is possible – I think my goal is to become a world champion, just to laugh and say I did it.

“And I see a ton of big names on the path to becoming world champion. And I think the ultimate fight right now would probably be meagainst Canelo.

“I always say, this Turkish guy and Billy Joe Saunders, they all went in there and got embarrassed.

“I’m bigger, stronger, taller, and more athletic than all of those guys. If I saw any of those guys in the street, in a street fight, it wouldn’t be pretty.”

Yildirim, 29, was beaten by Canelo, 31, in just three rounds of his WBC super-middleweight mandatory title fight in February.

But three months later, Saunders, 31, pushed Alvarez for all eight rounds until a right uppercut closed the show.

The 2008 Olympian suffered four fractures in his face and was rightfully pulled out by his corner.

A month earlier, Paul extended his KO run by beating retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37, in the first round.
