Jake Paul is setting his sights on stiffer competition after earning a unanimous decision over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on Saturday.

"The WBC ratings committee has been following Jake Paul's career," WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told ESPN. "If he defeats Chavez, and depending on how the fight plays out, the committee will make the decision. It's very likely [Paul will be ranked] if he wins convincingly."

Chavez Jr., the 39-year-old former WBC middleweight champion and son of Mexican boxing legend Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., was competing for the first time in more than a year. The loss dropped his record to 53-8-1 with 34 knockouts.
