    Jake Paul called out Canelo Alvarez before Mike Tyson’s fight

    Jake Paul predicts he can knock out Mike Tyson when the two meet in the ring on Friday to headline their Netflix boxing event at AT&T Stadium, and Paul already knows the opponent he wants to call into the ring if he beats Tyson. For anyone who has been following the past year, the name will come as no surprise.

    “It’s Canelo,” Paul declared, referring to boxer Canelo Alvarez during an appearance on the TimboSugarShow podcast with MMA stars Sean O’Malley and Tim Welch released this week ahead of the Tyson fight.

    Alvarez currently holds the WBC, WBA and WBO super middleweight titles and owns a career record of 62-2-2 with 39 knockouts. Paul, a YouTube star who has parlayed his fame into a lucrative and increasingly successful boxing career, said it would be a fight to define the “face of boxing”.

    Alvarez’s trilogy of matches against Gennady Golovkin were among the best revenue generators in boxing history. His victory over Billy Joe Saunders in May 2021 saw an announced crowd of 73,126 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, breaking the record for the largest indoor attendance for a boxing event in the United States. Muhammad Ali and Leon Spinks previously drew a crowd of 63,350 for their 1978 rematch at the Superdome in New Orleans.

    “This moment will prove that I am the face of boxing, the biggest attraction,” Paul said of his fight against Tyson, “and me versus Canelo at 200 pounds for the cruiserweight championship of the world is the biggest fight, maybe even bigger than me versus Tyson, and it makes so much sense.”

    “Canelo is on his way out,” added Paul, who has a career record of 10-1. “He wants a payday and I want to show the world that all the things I talked about beating Canelo are really true and that I will pull off the biggest upset in the history of boxing. We will fight to win for real. ” Look who the face is, because after this event I’m going to claim it.”

    Jake Paul and Canelo Alvarez have history

    Paul has been trying to set up a fight with Alvarez for some time now and none of his approaches have worked yet, although this highly anticipated clash with Tyson may provide Paul with his biggest platform yet to convince Alvarez to join him in the ring to step. it.

    Alvarez, 34, showed little interest in speaking to Paul last April, after the Tyson-Paul bout was first announced. Alvarez has had two fights in the past year. He defeated Jaime Munguia by unanimous decision in May and Edgar Berlanga by unanimous decision in September.

    “I think Netflix is ​​good for boxing, but that special fight, I think Netflix is ​​doing something wrong there,” Alvarez said in an interview with TMZ when asked about his interest in the Tyson-Paul fight. “Netflix is ​​involved in boxing, yes, that’s good, but not in that kind of fight. I think it’s more of a show than a fight.”

    Paul, 27, is boxing as a heavyweight for the first time against Tyson and noted on the podcast this week that he eats a whopping 4,000 calories a day to keep his weight around 224 pounds. He is hopeful that the move to the cruiserweight division (200 pounds) will be a compromise that could entice Alvarez to change his mind.

    “He will want his, I think it will be his fifth championship in the weight class. He wants the cruiserweight belt.” Paul said. ‘If everyone remembers, he (Ilunga) was going to challenge Makabu to become cruiserweight champion so he wants to conquer that division to be able to call himself a cruiserweight champion and that’s where the fight makes sense because I can’t do 175 (pounds) earn. This fight should be for the title and that makes the most sense at cruiserweight.”

    It doesn’t make any sense unless Paul actually beats Tyson, the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion. Here’s more information about the fight Paul needs to win before he can take another shot at Alvarez:
