Jake Paul has often messed around with people who have achieved a lot more than him in the professional combat sports community. ‘The Problem Child’, however, hasn’t shied from taking brutal digs at them, and surprisingly, Canelo Alvarez is a prime name on that list.

Paul has lashed out at several stars, including Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, Dana White, and many others. Meanwhile, he has always talked about his desire to face the current P4P king in boxing, Canelo Alvarez. That said, this desire hasn’t come out of respect but an ill-feeling, which has evoked ‘The Problem Child’ to rant on Team Canelo once again.

Well, the primary banter began when Shakur Stevenson took a jab at Oscar Valdez on Twitter. WBC featherweight champion Valdez recently posted a video of his morning coffee, and in response, WBO titlist Stevenson offered a cheeky response.

He hinted at Valdez’s failed drug test from the past, and wrote, “Hey champ make sure yo coffee is clean.. We don’t want the tea situation to happen all over again.”

Jake Paul chimed into the scene and went straight after Eddy Reynoso, the head trainer at Team Canelo. It appears that ‘The Problem Child’ didn’t plaster on his words like Stevenson.
