Jake Paul didn't waste any time getting started promoting his next fight.

Paul called out heavyweight legend Mike Tyson and UFC fighter Alex Pereira after his sixth-round knockout of Mike Perry on Saturday.

The fight was a dominating display for Paul, who moved to 10-1 with seven knockouts in his professional boxing career. The social media star has spent most of his boxing career fighting against MMA fighters, boasting wins over Tyron Woodley, Nate Diaz and Ben Askren.

"In two years I will be the cruiserweight champion of the f--king world," Paul said after the fight. "I'm way sharper, cleaner. I think he hit me with like one shot tonight. ... It's back to the drawing board and I'm going to just keep getting better."

Paul vs. Tyson was originally slated for July 20, but the fight was pushed back to Nov. 15 after Tyson suffered an ulcer flare-up in May. Perry, who competed in UFC from 2016 to 2021 before switching lanes, jumped in as Tyson's replacement but fell to 0-2 in his nascent boxing career.

Paul's fight against Tyson is expected to be one of the biggest boxing events of the year. Netflix has put the full weight of its promotional arm behind it, with the streamer broadcasting a boxing match for the first time as it continues to expand its live-streaming platform.

Tyson has not fought a sanctioned match since losing to Kevin McBride in June 2005. He returned to the ring in 2020 for an exhibition match against Roy Jones Jr., which ended in a draw.
