JAKE PAUL insists he is serious about taking on Canelo Alvarez, a pound-for-pound king.
And the YouTuber-turned-boxer swore on his mother's life he has what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the Mexican megastar.
Jake Paul and Eddie Hearn appeared together on radio - the YouTuber encouraging him to fight Saul Alvarez, pound-for-pound king
Paul has won five of his fights undefeated, but has been criticised for the low quality of his opponents.
The 25-year old star is certain that he will be able to win a world title shot.
He told TalkSPORT: "I'm being dead serious. On my mum's life I'm being serious. He is my friend, and I will be able to compete with him in three years."
He said, "I still have a lot to do and I know that I can be a world champion. I've sparred with world champions."
"I have amazing coaches and incredible people around me, and I have a huge chip on both my shoulders.
"I want everyone to be wrong, and I'm going do it just for fun."

Hearn quipped: "Maybe I'll promote it."
Paul also claimed that Hearn could earn up to PS55MILLION at the event, while he mocked Avni Yildirim, a recent Canelo victim.
He stated that "Yildirim" was the only one who has been going three rounds in the corner, and he doesn't throw any punches.
"How much did he get paid? I'm way more compassionate than that guy. I am far more athletic than this guy."
