Amidst Of Draymond Green Fight Suggestion, Jake Paul Claims Fight Against Canelo Álvarez Just Around The Corner
While the dream fight with Draymond Green may not be happening yet, there’s another dream fight for Paul that’s in talks – against none other than Canelo Alvarez. In a recent chat with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, when asked about the potential fight with Alvarez, Paul dropped a major bomb, stating that this fight was just around the corner. He stated:
“It becomes this really fun, interesting fight that I think is historical, and Canelo has shown and expressed interest in interviews, so I think we’re closer than we think. And it’s just bizarre to even be saying that now when, like, three or two years ago, I’m saying that. I believed it from day one. Everyone else was like, ‘who is this? kid shut this kid up’ and then now it’s pretty real.”
It will be interesting to see what Paul does next after his fight against Andre August. So far, he has overpowered Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and many other big names, bringing in solid PPV numbers. And now, fans are excited to see if he’ll face Green or Canelo in the future.
