Jake Paul, a phenomenon on social media, has completely transformed himself into a boxer, and he intends to continue on the same path by competing against Canelo Alvarez, a legendary fighter from around the world.
Paul’s desire to face Alvarez, who holds the title of the only undisputed super middleweight champion in the history of the sport, has been expressed on multiple occasions. Compared to Paul, who has only nine fights under his belt in the professional boxing circuit, the Mexican boxer has a significant amount of experience in the sport.
After directing attention to the commercial possibilities of a potential bout and Canelo Alvarez’s astute business acumen, Paul feels confident in his prospects of landing a matchup. He is confident in his chances of landing a fight at this time.
It was him who said:
On the whole, I believe it to be quite realistic. That may sound odd to some people, but Canelo [Alvarez] is a shrewd businessman, and at the end of the day, all he wants to do is compete in major fights and provide great entertainment products. Um, you know, and people may think that sounds weird. In addition, my skill set is getting better each and every day. I take on actual professional fighters in order to eventually be able to take on more difficult opponents, and I see Canelo against Jake Paul taking place within the next twenty-four months. This is the reason why I engage in fights like this.
Jake Paul explains his fight against Andre August as a shift towards ‘real boxing’
Despite the fact that Jake Paul has spent the most of his time in professional boxing fighting former UFC superstars and champions, he has still been able to achieve commercial and result-based success against them.
On the other hand, Paul is now planning to shift his focus to his ultimate objective of becoming a boxing champion and would like to compete against professional boxers. During a recent interview on The MMA Hour, Jake Paul stated that he had reached a point where he had been financially independent from the sport and would now concentrate on “real boxing.”
On his most recent encounter, which was against Andre August, an American professional boxer, he stated:
“I am putting on an act like a boxer prospect right now. The reason for this is that I am gaining experience in the ring by accepting challenges…Putting in a lot of effort and labor. The time has come for me to be able to reach that level of excellence, where I am considered to be the best in the world.I have my mind fixed on that location, and that is where I intend to be when I find myself there. It is my most important objective, and this is the way I want to achieve it. Getting all of this money and running a business are no longer as important. I have already managed to earn $250 million, with pay-per-view sales amounting to $200 million. That has been accomplished by us. Amazing. You are very welcome. This is about boxing in its purest form now.
