Jake Paul has accused Canelo Alvarez of ducking him. Fans have reacted to the news after Paul posted an edited picture on X, poking fun at the boxing icon, who has signed a four-fight agreement with Riyadh Season.
The Mexican boxer has held world titles across multiple weight classes and was also the first-ever undisputed super middleweight champion. Meanwhile, 'The Problem Child', who made his professional boxing debut in 2020, holds a record of 11-1. His most recent bout was against former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, which the 28-year-old won by unanimous decision.
Paul and Alvarez were seemingly amidst finalizing a bout for May 3 in Las Vegas. However, the Mexican allegedly backed out and made the Riyadh Season deal instead.
Turki Alalshikh reportedly told Alvarez that if he fights the Youtuber, his deal with the Riyadh Season will be terminated. Hence, instead of fighting Paul, the Mexican will now have four fights on his Riyadh Season agreement, with the first scheduled for May 4.
