Jake Paul addresses speculations about the chances of a potential matchup against Canelo Alvarez

Jake Paul has repeatedly stated his wish to take on boxing icon Canelo Alvarez in the future.

Many would dismiss it as an unrealistic goal given Alvarez is a proven world champion at multiple weight classes and is the reigning undisputed super middleweight champion. However, Paul is not deterred by those accolades and directed the press toward the commercial appeal of a matchup between the two, while also mentioning a viable time frame:

“I think it’s very very realistic. People may think that sounds crazy but Canelo [Alvarez] is a smart businessman and at the end of the day, he just wants to do big fights and make huge entertainment products. And my skillset is improving every single day. And that’s what doing fights like this are about, taking on real professional fighters so that eventually I can take on tougher fighters and I see Canelo vs. Jake Paul happening in the next 24 months.”
