Jake Paul Claims Canelo Alvarez Should Be Anxious About Him
Jake Paul has made headlines once again, this time with his bold assertion that Canelo Alvarez should be losing sleep over the thought of facing him in the ring. While the 27-year-old social media star is gearing up for his high-profile matchup with boxing legend Mike Tyson, he has future ambitions that include a clash with the celebrated champion, Canelo.
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Paul confidently stated that fans can expect more than just an appearance when he faces Canelo. “Everything I’ve said has come true,” Paul declared. “That’s why Canelo should be awake at night because I’m coming for him. When that fight happens, I will win and shock the entire world. I’m speaking this into existence.”
As expected, Paul’s brash confidence has drawn skepticism from many, but he remains undeterred. “People will listen to this and think, ‘Oh, he’s lost his mind.’ But they said I was crazy when I claimed I’d be in the biggest fights after beating Tyron Woodley and Anderson Silva. You’re crazy until you’re not.”
However, before he can shift his focus to Canelo, Paul has a monumental challenge ahead of him—battling the formidable Mike Tyson, who is set to step into the ring with him in just five weeks. When asked about the pressure of fighting a legend like Tyson, Paul admitted he feels those moments of doubt, especially as he prepares to compete in the heavyweight division against a powerhouse like Tyson.
Paul confirmed that Tyson is in great health after a medical delay pushed their original fight date back. “It’s Mike Tyson or nothing,” he said. “He’s feeling amazing and doing great in camp.”
With Paul’s fight against Tyson on the horizon, all eyes will be on him as he looks to solidify his status and perhaps one day make that dream fight with Canelo a reality. Mark your calendars for November 15, as it’s shaping up to be a pivotal moment in Paul’s boxing career.
