Jake Paul is a man in demand after his victory over Ben Askren at the weekend.

The YouTube star turned professional boxer is now 3-0 but he has yet to face an actual boxer.

Given that he just earned $690k from defeating decorated a MMA star in the first round, it seems like Paul has found the recipe to success.

And that lucrative night’s work – it is said to have sold 1.5m PPVs– has fighters lining up to take him on.

UFC legend BJ Penn was the first to call out Paul.

Paul said he is trying to work out what to spend his money on and claims his fight with Askren generated $75m

“Hey Triller send me a contract and I will happily knock this f***er out in one round,” Penn tweeted.

Penn is 42, but he is a UFC Hall of Famer and former lightweight and welterweight champion. Paul’s size advantage and boxing training probably wouldn’t favour the former UFC fighter.

Tyron Woodley is another former UFC champion willing to step in the ring. He is a good friend of Askren and had backed his pal strongly leading up to the fight.

Replying to a tweet from Paul following his victory, Woodley wrote: “Enjoy saying you are a fighter for another day.

“Try that s*** against me – I’m catching a body.”

Although on a three-fight losing streak, Woodley is a powerful puncher.

Former double UFC champion Daniel Cormier – who is actually closer to Paul’s size and weight – didn’t like the disrespect shown by Paul and his friends to Woodley.

“The way this dude talked to T- wood makes my skin crawl,” he said before turning his attention to J’Leon Love, a boxer with 24 wins from 29 fights, who was with Paul on Saturday.

“All these kids are going to get taught a lesson I swear. And I can’t wait for it, @JLeonLove you can’t fight. Better respect dudes like @TWooodley before he puts his hands on you. He ain’t Ben!”

This led Paul to suggest a card featuring himself against Cormier and then Love against Woodley.

Paul, though, remains very interested in Conor McGregor and Tommy Fury, who is a more realistic option and someone who has been vocal in wanting the fight to happen.

“I’m going to plant the seed right now – me vs Tommy Fury and Michael Hunter vs Tyson Fury on the same night,” he told ESNEWS.

A bout with McGregor it still miles away, but perhaps his teammate Dillion Danis could provide the gateway for it.

He’s desperate for a shot at Paul and took to Twitter to ask once more after Askren was beaten.

“Send me the contract, let’s do this. I’m going to put this c*** out cold.

“Let me save the MMA community. Don’t run Jake Paul, I’m going to find you and see what you’re about.”

Paul also tweeted he’d knock out Nate Diaz in three rounds, too. You can’t knock his belief.
