Jake Paul recently put out a bold message on social media aimed at Canelo Alvarez after the boxing champion turned down a fight with him. However, fans were more focused on an official announcement regarding a potential Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford bout. It was later revealed that Canelo had signed a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season head Turki Alalshikh, officially shutting down any chance of a matchup with the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Following this, a wave of trash talk erupted on social media, catching fans’ attention.
Following the news, ‘The Problem Child’ took to Instagram to react, sharing AI-generated images where he edited himself knocking down Canelo Alvarez. He even went as far as declaring victory over the Mexican star without ever stepping into the ring with him.
This sparked an online back-and-forth between the two, with Canelo firmly stating that he had no intention of fighting a YouTuber. In response, Paul claimed that Canelo had actually signed the contract and that the fight poster, date, and venue were all set.
“You’re a money-hungry squirrel chasing your next nut. The truth is, these sports-washing, shady characters are paying you hundreds of millions of dollars to stop our fight from happening because they couldn’t fathom the fact that they can’t create a bigger fight than me and you,” Paul said.
Fans quickly weighed in on the drama, with one commenting, “Hate to say it, but Jake cooked Canelo.”
One fan even expressed support for Paul, stating that they actually believe in him.
One fan speculated that Conor McGregor might step in for the fight.
Another fan voiced their support for Paul.
