The influencer and now boxer Jake Paul is getting ready to face Hasim Rahman Jr. next Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York and he can’t stop thinking about what’s next in his most recent future. That is why the name of Saúl Canelo Álvarez appeared again in his speech.
Paul, 25 years old, will step into the ring of the mythical New York stage next Saturday, August 6. It will be his sixth fight in his nascent amateur boxing career and his last fight was last 18 December 25 against Tyron Woodley, whom he knocked out in the sixth round of eight scheduled in Tampa, Florida.
He was recently interviewed and Canelo Álvarez’s name came up.
“I still think that a fight between Canelo and me is one of the best that can happen in the boxing and I know I can win it”, said youtube in an interview with talkSPORT.
In addition, he dared to ensure that if Bivol could defeat the Mexican, he could too.
“People laugh at that, but Dmitry Bivol showed that he can be beaten and I have the same style, range, speed and power as Bivol. So, for styles, when they put us there, it’s not going to be a great night for Canelo”, he assured.
Recently, Canelo Álvarez also left open the possibility of facing him in the future: “Maybe in two years, as he says, maybe we can talk,” he argued.
