Fans go berserk after Jake Paul vs Canelo Alvarez ‘a done deal’
Jake Paul looks set to make another announcement soon. He is reportedly in talks to face boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez just days after speculation over a fight Logan Paul.
Despite recent reports that Canelo Alvarez will face Terence Crawford in a clash of boxing’s two biggest superstars later this year, Alvarez has allegedly pivoted towards Paul who is one of the sport’s most polarizing personalities.
As far as Alvarez vs Crawford in concerned, the two, as reported by ESPN, are finalizing a deal to square off in a super middleweight championship fight on September 13th in Las Vegas. A formal announcement regarding the fight is imminent.
However, according to one of boxing’s top promoters, Alvarez is also in preliminary discussions to face Jake Paul this year in addition to the Crawford fight talks. Earlier this week, Paul announced his potential return to the boxing ring, an announcement that contradicted initial reports about the Alvarez vs. Paul fight rumors.
Surprisingly, Eddie Hearn recently suggested that Alvarez vs. Paul fight talks are legit, and are a higher priority than Alvarez’s negotiations with Crawford. In a recent interview with Ring Magazine, promoter Eddie Hearn defended Alvarez for taking the Paul fight instead of a clash with Crawford. He said;
“The move to fight Jake Paul maybe derailed the other fight but I don’t blame Canelo Alvarez because financially, the bigger fight is Jake Paul. Because in that fight, you got two big stars. In the [Crawford] fight, you got two great fighters and one big star. And Terence Crawford, who should be a big star — but the reality is, he isn’t. He’s an unbelievable fighter. As I’m hearing, Canelo vs. Jake Paul is done. And I get it. I’ll watch it.”
Fans react to Jake Paul vs Canelo Alvarez seemingly getting booked
As one would assume, fans are certainly left in shock after the recent reports of Paul vs Canelo. While there seems to be no confirmation as of yet, fans seem to be losing their minds since the news has came to light.
“Canelo fucking up his own legacy these last few years. Waste of time”
“As much as I hate Jake he got Canelo to finally commit and that’s actually a huge W for him. Win or lose which he’s probably going to get dusted, he got what he wanted. The kids a hustler.”
“Alvarez will fuking smoke him. And about time this circus stopped.”
