When Kamaru Usman shared his thoughts on a potential Canelo Alvarez vs. Jake Paul fight
Last year, Kamaru Usman shared his two cents on Jake Paul potentially fighting Canelo Alvarez and opined that the former Disney star should stay away from the boxing icon unless he's looking to retire. Paul has notably expressed his desire to fight Alvarez and has called out the Mexican legend several times.
In an episode of the Pound 4 Pound podcast with Henry Cejudo, Usman shared his thoughts on the two boxing entities clashing in the ring and said:
"Canelo will hurt him. No, I don't think [Jake Paul wants to fight Canelo]. I don't think so, unless he's done with his career. Unless he doesn't care. Unless he wants to grab the cash, maybe 100 million, and walk away."
He continued:
"Yes, then I agree. Jake Paul, more power to you, go ahead and do it. But, if you really care about having a boxing career and continuing that career, why would you want to fight a guy like Canelo?"
