Fans have reacted to Jake Paul sharing a confidentiality agreement signed by Canelo Alvarez and trying to pass it off as a fight contract. Paul has accused Alvarez of ducking him after the Mexican boxing icon signed a four-fight agreement with Riyadh Season.
'The Problem Child' and Alvarez were rumored to be squaring off on May 3 in Las Vegas. However, the latter instead made a deal with Turki Alalshikh, leaving Paul without an opponent.
Paul then uploaded a short clip on Instagram captioned "Exposing Canelo." In the video, the Youtuber-turned-boxer said:
"We had a signed contract to fight. Here you could see Canelo’s signature and my signature to the right claiming he is not fighting Youtubers. Bull*hit! Look at the poster. We were announcing Tuesday, February 11.”
