Though ‘The Problem Child’ has made only five appearances inside the ring, he established himself among the most famous pugilist of this generation. This led him to reflect on a probable fight with the pound-for-pound king.

Surprisingly, Paul made a disappointing prediction. Though it sounded weird, as ‘The Problem Child’ had never before accepted the fact someone could beat him. He said, “I would take the fight, and right now I couldn’t beat Canelo. Five fights from now six fights from now. I can put up a f**king awesome f**king fight and we’ll see what happens.”

Furthermore, he shed light on the best possible time for locking horns with the Mexican superstar. Jake Paul added, “I want me versus Canelo to be my last fight. So it could happen three-four years from now but it just makes sense two biggest names two highest paid boxers in the sport going at it. Why not?”
