Canelo Alvarez sums up Jake Paul’s boxing career in just two words
In recent months, Jake Paul has been chasing Canelo Alvarez for a fight. The YouTuber knows that facing the Mexican champion would skyrocket his career, but Canelo has shown little interest in making it happen.
A few weeks ago, reports suggested that after struggling to find an opponent for May, Canelo had agreed to fight Paul. However, the Mexican ultimately chose to face William Scull, leaving the influencer out in the cold.

Obviously, Paul didn’t take this situation well. He has harshly criticized Canelo for avoiding the fight, and now the Mexican star has fired back.
During an interview with FightHub, Canelo Alvarez was asked to describe several current fighters in a few words. When asked about Jake Paul, he chose to ignore the YouTuber’s boxing career and instead highlighted another aspect: “Great businessman,” he said.
This remark has been interpreted as a direct jab at Paul’s career, with Canelo seeing him more as a savvy entrepreneur than a legitimate boxer. Now, all eyes are on Paul’s response, which is expected to be anything but friendly.
