Canelo Alvarez vs. Jake Paul sounds ridiculous.
Then once more, so did Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul and that struggle in some way got here collectively again in early 2021. As anticipated, “Cash” outclassed the YouTube prankster en path to a unanimous financial institution theft in (the place else?) Florida.
Purists could not prefer it, however prize combating is all in regards to the prize.
“Logan fought Floyd and I’ll struggle Canelo and present the world why I’m the best sports activities story ever,” Paul wrote on social media. “See you quickly Saul.”
Canelo, recent off his beating of Jermell Charlo, doesn’t hate the concept.
“YOU. LOST. TO. TOMMY. FURY.” longtime boxing promoter Lou DiBella replied. “I really respect your hustle and your dedication to studying boxing, however c’mon now.”
Paul misplaced a moist dream choice to Fury again in February.
It’s unlikely we’ll see Canelo boxing Paul (or another influencer) whereas he’s nonetheless on high of the boxing world, the place he’ll be anticipated to defend his tremendous middleweight title sooner or later in early-to-mid 2024. After that … it’s anybody’s guess.
