But after seeing the Mexican go the distance in his trilogy fight with Gennady Golovkin in September, Paul is confident he’d get the better of the super-middleweight king.

The Problem Child said: “And you, too, Canelo. “You’re getting old. You looked weird against Triple-G.

“I still want that fight as well.

“And I think now, like I said it 18 months ago, ‘I want Canelo!’

“And then everyone, I was sitting in a room just like this said, and everyone was like, ‘[Laughing at me].

“F***ing idiot, yeah.’ And then now, 18 months later, here we are.

“And when I say that, maybe people are taking it a little bit more seriously now. And I still mean it. And I still want that fight.”

Victory over Silva saw former Disney star Paul stretch his record to a perfect 6-0.

In his post-fight interview, the social media sensation said: “It’s a surreal moment. Hard work pays off.

“First and foremost, I want to say thank you to Anderson.

“He was my idol growing up. He inspired me to be great.

“He was the first celebrity I ever met. Without him, we wouldn’t have had a fight this year. He’s a tough mofo. A legend.

“I have nothing but respect for him. This just goes to show that anyone watching at home, chase your dreams. It’s never too late.”;

Paul is hoping to return to the ring early next year and already has several potential opponents lined up for his seventh professional bout.
