Canelo Vs. Jake Paul: “1000% Going To Happen”

Jake Paul’s manager, Nakisa Bidarian, says a fight between him and Canelo Alvarez is “going to happen” either this year or in 2025. Bidarian is confident that one of the U.S. State Commissions will sanction the Canelo vs. Paul fight as a professional match, pointing out that the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor match was sanctioned when they fought in 2017. MONEY GRAB According to Bidarian, the Canelo-Jake Paul fight will have three-minute rounds. It would be a lucrative fight. What’s important is the fight happens soon before the 34-year-old Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KOs) loses to someone or his popularity diminishes. It would be a disruptive type of match if it happened because boxing fans would be angry due to Jake Paul’s lack of credentials at the pro level. Losing to Tommy Fury, a domestic-level British fighter, and beating retired 58-year-old Mike Tyson isn’t enough for Jake to rate a fight against Canelo.
