And amid a chorus of boos inside the Honda Center - Paul called out WBA and WBO champion Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez - who fought on his undercard.
He said: "I want tougher fighters. I want to be world champion. Zurdo looked slow as s*** tonight, that'd be easy work too.
"Badou Jack, I want everybody. Anthony Joshua, Gervonta (Davis) and Tommy, stop running."
Fury, 26, handed Paul, 28, his first and so far only defeat after his split-decision win in 2023.
Ramirez, 34, retained his cruiserweight titles by beating Yuniel Dorticos on the undercard and Jack, 41, is the current WBC champion.
Paul has continued to call out heavyweight superstar Joshua, 35, and lightweight Davis, 30, following their talks for an exhibition earlier this year.
The American has put himself in line for a world ranking following victory over Chavez Jr, 39, with Paul's eyes on the championship gold.
He said: "That's the goal, that's why we're here. That's the only thing I haven't accomplished in the sport of boxing, right?

"Knockout of The Year, most-watched fight, that's the last thing on the list."
Paul's promotional partner Nakisa Bidarian added: "How do you not rank Jake Paul after that performance?
"Where he totally neutralised a much more experience and more accomplished fighter than himself."

Jake Paul threatens to sue 'pig' Piers Morgan over 'lies'... just days after furiously storming off his TV show
Jake Paul has ordered his team to 'vigorously go after' Piers Morgan after the TV host branded the YouTuber-turned-boxer's win over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. 'staged bulls***'. Paul secured a comfortable points victory over Chavez Jr., the son and namesake of a boxing great, in Anaheim on Saturday night. Boos rang out at Honda Center as Paul extended his professional boxing record to 12-1. It was his first fight since beating 58-year-old Mike Tyson in a hugely controversial bout. TV host Morgan called Paul's latest win an 'unwatchable farce' and suggested the fight was rigged. He also accused the YouTuber of 'killing boxing'. A few days before the fight, Paul had appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored. But he lashed out at the anchor, branding him a 'fat a**' before dramatically ending the interview. 'I had a better fight with Jake Paul on Thursday than the unwatchable farce that took place tonight,' Morgan wrote on X. Paul cut short a fiery interview with Piers Morgan after a foul-mouth tirade about the host 'The guy's lining his pockets with buckets of $$$$ - but he's killing boxing with this boring staged bulls*** against older fighters way past their prime.' But that prompted a furious response from Paul, who vowed to make 'pigs' such as Morgan pay for their 'lies'. 'After years of letting it slide as just 'haters being haters', I have asked my team to vigorously go after anyone who makes up lies about my boxing career. Expect to get served you pigs,' he wrote. Paul's comments came after his business partner, Nakisa Bidarian, called out Morgan for his 'baseless and irresponsible' post and said they would explore legal action. 'This claim is baseless and irresponsible,' Bidarian wrote on social media. 'Last night's fight vs. Chavez Jr. was a fully sanctioned 10-round cruiserweight bout, officiated by the California State Athletic Commission with official judges. 'No staging / rigging —just hard work and a legit win. To say otherwise not only undermines the integrity of the sport, but is defamatory and causes reputational damage to MVP, Jake Paul, and the Commission.

Sporting refuse to budge on Gyokeres fee – but admit Arsenal target WILL leave ‘unless he has worst agent in the world'
ARSENAL have been told by Sporting Lisbon they will NOT budge on their Viktor Gyokeres valuation in another transfer window hammerblow. And the Portuguese giants' president Frederico Varandas has warned the Gunners: pay up or miss out. 4 Viktor Gyokeres finally loos set for a Prem switch this summer Credit: Getty 4 Benjamin Sesko remains another option for Arsenal and Co Credit: Getty Boss Mikel Arteta has earmarked the striker as a top target to bolster his attack in this window, alongside Red Bull Leipzig frontman Benjamin Sesko – but both deals are currently in limbo. Gyokeres, 27, has been left furious with Sporting over an alleged breach of a gentleman's agreement that would let him leave for around £60m – lower than his release clause of around £80m – and is now refusing to play for the Portuguese side again. Arteta was hoping to land the Swede for a bargain price, but Varandas has doubled down on only selling the star for a fair market value, citing Arsenal's move for Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi and Manchester United's pursuit of new-boy Matheus Cunha and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo. Varandas has even threatened to keep Gyokeres in Portugal if Arsenal continue to low ball, hoping to receive close to £70m to seal the switch. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL GOODBYE PARTEY Thomas Partey's Arsenal career over as midfielder to leave Gunners TOMORROW He said: 'Sporting is very calm regarding Viktor Gyokeres. We do not need to sell him, but we remain sensitive to the dreams of Viktor and any of our athletes. 'After weeks of meetings, we are not asking for the release clause and will be reasonable regarding the price we ask for Viktor. Today, I believe there is a strong probability he will leave. 'We have been watching the market and I saw [Martin] Zubimendi, who is six months younger than Viktor, leave for £51million. "I saw Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, both forwards but who, in my opinion, do not have Viktor's market value or quality, being negotiated for around £64m. 4 The Swede amassed stunning stats in the Portuguese top flight BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Inside Arsenal's frustrating striker transfer saga By Jordan Davies ARSENAL'S never-ending hunt for a world-class striker is in turmoil as deals for Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres stall. The Gunners were confident of doing their business quickly this summer after months of preparation by boss Mikel Arteta and new sporting director Andrea Berta. But inflated asking prices and broken gentlemen's agreements have derailed those plans and left Arsenal frustrated. Sesko believed he would be allowed to leave RB Leipzig for around £60million, while SunSport understands Gyokeres was told £59m would be enough to seal his own exit. But those price-tags have gone up, leaving Arsenal debating whether they represent value for money. While the players' camps are also growing restless, knowing the Gunners can only sign one of them. So what next? Will Arsenal keep waiting in the hope of fees eventually going down? Or turn to other targets, like Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike? Whatever they decide, with pre-season looming and the fixtures already out, Arteta will be desperate for them to move quickly to avoid another nearly season. 'Given the demands we consider fair, I believe Viktor could leave – unless he has the worst agent in the world, which is hard for me to believe, because he is one of the best footballers in the world. 'The player knows, the agent knows, and I can guarantee, with absolute certainty, that Viktor will not leave for £60m.' Liverpool's £100m Barcola bid / Gyokeres forces Man Utd move / Grealish City axe | Transfers Exposed Christian Norgaard to Arsenal LATEST | Transfers Exposed United – who are also monitoring Gyokeres' situation – have already signed Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m this summer and have also seen multiple bids rejected for Mbeumo. Arsenal are set to announce the arrival of midfielder Zubimendi, and are in talks to sign Valencia centre back Christian Mosquera for around £20m. Varandas said: 'If Viktor stays, we will be very, very happy – and it will be a problem for our rivals. 'We are completely prepared to move for our target if Viktor leaves.' Gyokeres is currently on holiday after international duty with Sweden and is due to report back for pre-season in Lisbon on July 7 unless a deal is struck before then. Arsenal are in a similar mess with 22-year-old Sesko, who is angry over Leipzig's hard-ball stance, demanding £70m despite a lower initial gentleman's agreement in January. 4 TRANSFER NEWS LIVE - KEEP UP WITH ALL THE LATEST FROM A BUSY SUMMER WINDOW
