Promoter Eddie Hearn suggests that Jake Paul's long-awaited fight against Canelo Alvarez is close to being finalized, despite Canelo's previous disinterest.
Jake Paul 's quest for a blockbuster boxing match against Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez appears to be nearing fruition after promoter Eddie Hearn hinted at a potential showdown that could shatter box-office records. Paul, who has taken the boxing world by storm since his professional debut in January 2020, has faced opponents like Nate Robinson and Ben Askren, but the elusive fight against the undisputed super middleweight champion remains his ultimate goal.
Canelo, however, has repeatedly expressed disinterest in facing Paul in the ring.The anticipated super-fight between Canelo and Terence Crawford seems to have fallen apart, fueled by rumors of Canelo potentially facing Paul in the near future. Hearn, in a recent interview, stated that the Paul fight was 'done by all accounts,' suggesting that the YouTuber-turned-boxer might finally get his wish. Hearn commented on Canelo's lack of loyalty to any particular promoter or organization, emphasizing that Canelo is primarily driven by financial incentives.Hearn acknowledged that the potential Paul fight is a lucrative opportunity for Canelo and that it wouldn't be surprising to see the fight materialize. While expressing neutrality towards the matchup, Hearn admitted that Paul deserves credit for pursuing the Canelo fight, recognizing the substantial financial reward at stake. He further mentioned that Canelo's willingness to engage in this type of fight might shift the dynamics of the potential Canelo vs. Crawford bout. Paul has openly challenged Canelo on numerous occasions, most recently after his unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson. Paul confidently proclaimed that Canelo needs him and that the champion is aware of the financial opportunity presented by the fight. He expressed his determination to prove his claims of defeating Canelo and secure the biggest upset in boxing history, ultimately claiming the title of 'face' of the sport
