Canelo Alvarez is not wasting any time to hit back at Jake Paul. In recent years, Jake Paul has become one of the pivotal figures in the professional boxing arena. After fighting some big names, Paul broke the internet by signing up for a match with the legendary Mike Tyson. Initially, most of the fans thought it to be a gimmick. However, as the days went by, it became pretty evident that the fight was real.
In one of the biggest stories, Paul managed to beat Tyson in order to make a big name for himself. Now, the Youtuber-turned-boxer is eyeing Canelo Alvarez next. While it was touted that a high-profile, big-money fight is on the cards, Alvarez has reportedly stepped away from the prospect. And he is not holding back.
“Hey guys, don’t pay attention on anything. I will fight real fighters. Stop f*cking around with Canelo,” said Alvarez on X recently.
