Salt Papi has called out Jake Paul, Tommy Fury and KSI in a three-fight list if he beats Anthony Taylor next month.
The Filipino star has made a huge impression since making the switch to the boxing ring having won his first three fights as a professional. Salt Papi outpointed Halal Ham before signing to KSI's label Misfits Boxing where he has made a huge impression scoring statement stoppage victories over Josh Brueckner and Andy Warski.
His skills have seen him earn rave reviews in the world of influencer boxing with many suggesting he is the most threatening competitor to KSI and Jake Paul's dominance in the space. He has even earned rave reviews from professional fighters including Chris Eubank Jr and fellow countryman Manny Pacquiao.
"Hopefully I will get a fight with KSI, Jake Paul or Tommy Fury," the TikTok star said in an interview with MMA Hour when discussing what could be next if he beats Anthony Taylor. "It is always up to them really at the end of the day. I believe KSI likes competition and he said he will knock out everybody.
"I don't really care about a dream fight but I want to keep fighting for now while I am healthy. I want to make as much money as I can and have fun. If KSI wants it it all depends on them. I would say he would last three rounds, I think it would be like a chess match. They know what I can do."
It sets up a interesting pictyure, given KSI will first fight Joe Fournier on May 13 which could set up a whole host of future fights. The Filipino star will feature on the bumper pay-per-view bill where he will take on MMA fighter and experienced influencer boxer Anthony Taylor.

Taylor will prove the sternest test of Salt Papi's time with the promotion to date but a win could propel him further towards the leading names. But despite having shown impressive skills from his time in the ring, the 29-year-old has denied having previous amateur pedigree in the sport.
He said: "Growing up I'd always been a fan of boxing. Manny Pacquiao is like the biggest superstar in the Philippines and he's the one that everyone wants to be like. Boxing and basketball are like the main sports in the Philippines, so obviously as a child we always watched Pacquiao growing up and I would imitate what he does, everybody looked up to him.
"But I never had access to a boxing gym, I never really trained like that, most of the time I was copying [Pacquiao] if I had a few street fights back in school growing up. The only time I had access to a proper boxing gym was last year. Most of my life I'd been in a normal gym and we had a punching bag there where I would work on my technique."
