Ever since Jake Paul started this surreal career as a celebrity boxer, he’s always had his sights set on fighting Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. Back when he started, nobody took Jake Paul seriously because he was only regarded as a Youtuber. He knew that he needed to create his own prestige as a boxer and he’s done a fairly good job so far. Currently, Paul remains undefeated and he is fighting increasingly more difficult opponents each time.
His most recent bout was against a true striker such as Anderson Silva, who had been fighting his fair share of celebrity boxing matches. That last fight might be the one that finally made Canelo‘s team look his way, they had been dissing him for more than a year. Alvarez apparently realized Jake Paul could actually make a good opponent in a year or two. Paul approached Canelo several times but the Mexican champion only recently responded to his calls.
Canelo could fight Jake Paul in 2024
In an interview with Anthony Pompliano, Jake Paul revealed Canelo entertained his challenge forthe first time. All he needs to do is keep winning and face actual professional boxers from now until 2024. This is what Paul said: “We have talked to his lawyer and I think he is getting to a place where he sees how serious how I am. I think at first everyone thought this was a joke and my mouth was bigger than my actions but now they are matching. Especially if a fight is a year from now or two years from now. I am sparring people that were in both of their training camps for the trilogy.
“I am sparring Golovkin‘s sparring partners, I am sparring Canelo‘s partners. [Ron] Ellis, all of these guys and I am sparring people from both of their camps. They came out to my camps. I think the fight with Canelo would be an entertainment spectacle. I don’t think anyone has got into Canelo’s head and I feel that I can, I think that is an iconic fight to make and it would shut the internet down. I think he thinks he can whoop my a** and that I am just a YouTuber kid.”
