Jake Paul Reacts to Reports of Canelo Alvarez’s Next Potential Opponent

Jake Paul has eyed himself matching up against Canelo Alvarez somewhere down the line in his career. While he is still far from achieving what Alvarez has done in the sport, ‘The Problem Child’ believes he will continue his surge to a point where Alvarez and he will be in a parallel position. Apart from Canelo, Paul has called out several elite-level combatants, both from the boxing and the MMA community.

While most of them have seemingly ignored him, Paul seems adamant about bagging the fights he had desired. However, Jake Paul shall set a prominent resume before heading towards that stage and he hasn’t faced a professional pugilist yet. Meanwhile, Canelo Alvarez has his specific plans for the future.

After bagging the undisputed status at 168 lbs, the P4P king can move to a new weight class ahead. He will reportedly face an opponent whom the boxing purist may not prefer. As the reports have come out to the foray, Paul threw his opinion on the scene. Unlike his usual approach, Paul didn’t offer a verbal thrashing. Instead, he posted two emojis on Twitter.

Canelo Alvarez was in talks to meet WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu next. On attaining a potential win, Alvarez would become a five-division world champion. Moreover, he can also aim to go undisputed at 175 lbs. Amid all these variant options, Jake Paul will clearly not intrigue Canelo Alvarez, who is already a legend and a PPV superstar.
