Canelo Alvarez Calls Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Fight An ‘Injustice’

Photo: Instagram   Canelo Alvarez has shared his thoughts on the recent fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson , calling it an “injustice.” The Mexican boxing star admitted he considered stepping into the ring with Paul to defend Tyson’s honor but denied any current talks about a fight with Terence Crawford . Last month, fans watched as Jake Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, defeated 58-year-old Tyson in a fight that many called a “sad” event. Tyson, a heavyweight boxing legend, appeared to struggle after just a couple of two-minute rounds, while Paul held back and didn’t go for a knockout . Speaking about the fight, Canelo said, “I feel sad about what I saw from Mike Tyson. But it’s business for them, and it’s fine, whatever.” Photo: Instagram   When asked if the fight made him consider taking on Paul, Canelo replied, “I did think about it when I saw the fight, when I see that injustice. But it’s business for them, and it’s fine.” Canelo’s future plans in boxing ar...

Photo: Jake Paul, Mike Tyson / Instagram   Jake Paul and Mike Tyson recently fought in what is now the most-watched boxing match in modern history. The fight, held at AT&T Stadium, was streamed live by over 108 million people worldwide, breaking records since Muhammad Ali ’s era. Despite the buzz, the event drew controversy due to Tyson’s return to the ring at 58 years old and the 31-year age gap between the fighters. Rumors swirled that Jake Paul made $90 million from the fight, but he has denied this. In an episode of his brother Logan Paul's podcast IMPAULSIVE , Jake addressed the rumors. “No, who said that? It’s not true. I made a lot of money, the most I’ve ever made, but not $90 million,” Jake said. Photo: Jake Paul, Mike Tyson / Instagram   When asked what he planned to do with his earnings, Jake revealed he might buy a ranch. “Probably a ranch, like a big piece of property, and I’m gonna pimp it out,” he added.

Canelo Alvarez Might Skip Benavidez And Crawford For Toughest Opponent

Photo: Canelo Alvarez (Instagram) Boxing fans are excited as Canelo Alvarez prepares for another fight, this time against Edgar Berlanga. The fight will take place soon, and Berlanga has been talking a lot to try to shake Alvarez's confidence. In May, Canelo had a big win against fellow Mexican fighter Jaime Munguia. Many fans were hoping that Canelo would fight David Benavidez next, but it looks like he has other plans. Some have even mentioned the idea of Canelo facing Terence Crawford . However, in a recent interview, Alvarez hinted that he might be more interested in a rematch against Dmitry Bivol. Photo: Canelo Alvarez (Instagram) Bivol defeated Alvarez in May 2022, when Canelo moved up to the light heavyweight division. Although Canelo has fought at that weight before, Bivol proved to be a tough challenge. Bivol is scheduled to fight Artur Beterbiev in October. If Bivol wins, it could set the stage for a rematch with Canelo. For now, Canelo is focused on his upcoming fight ...

This victory made him the first undisputed champion in two weight divisions during the four-belt era. Now, Crawford has his eyes on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez , the super-middleweight champion.

Manny Pacquiao Delivers Stern Verdict On Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford

Photo: Instagram/Manny Pacquiao   Fans were surprised when Terence Crawford , fresh off his win to become the undisputed welterweight champion, called out Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez , who fights at super-middleweight.  Crawford’s victory over Errol Spence , earning him all four belts, was impressive. Yet, a jump of three weight classes to fight Canelo seemed like a huge stretch. Manny Pacquiao , a former welterweight champion, weighed in on the topic. While he didn’t predict a winner, he warned Crawford about the challenge of moving up in weight during an interview with Fight Hub TV. “Man, it’s not easy. It’s not easy moving up to bigger weight divisions,” said Pacquiao.

Canelo Alvarez Finally Agrees To Fight Terence Crawford, But With One Condition

Photo: Instagram/Canelo Alvarez Terence Crawford , at 36 years old, is focused on legacy-defining fights. None could be bigger than a showdown with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez . Crawford made history by becoming the first male fighter to be undisputed in two weight divisions during the four-belt era. He’s fresh off a dominant win against Errol Spence Jr. , stopping him in the ninth round.  Since then, Crawford has set his sights on Canelo, another undisputed champion who fights three weight classes above Crawford's last bout. Photo: Instagram/Canelo Alvarez Despite previously dismissing the idea, Canelo, 33, is now open to the fight—if the money is right. Speaking at a No Golf, No Life event, Canelo stated: “Crawford is a great fighter, obviously, three divisions below.

Canelo Alvarez Wants Big Payday To Fight Terence Crawford

Photo: Instagram/Canelo Alvarez Mexican boxing star Canelo Alvarez is open to fighting Terence Crawford , but he has one key condition: a massive payday.  Canelo, who has many potential challengers for a fight in September, sees Crawford as a standout contender due to his impressive career and reputation.  A bout between Canelo and Crawford would thrill fans worldwide.  Canelo acknowledges Crawford's skill but emphasizes the need for the fight to be financially beneficial.

Keyshawn Davis Predicts Terence Crawford's Path To Victory Against Canelo Alvarez at 168 Pounds

Photo: Instagram/Terence Crawford In Keyshawn Davis' estimation, Terence Crawford stands a good chance of defeating Canelo Alvarez in a potential showdown at 168 pounds, provided he can handle Canelo's power. Crawford, with a record of 40-0 and 31 knockouts, is not a young fighter at 36, but he would be making a significant 21-pound leap to challenge the formidable Canelo, who boasts a record of 60-2-2 with 39 KOs, for the undisputed super middleweight crown. However, Davis expresses concerns that if Crawford were to secure victory over Canelo, he might opt to retreat to the safety of the 147 or 154-pound divisions rather than face the formidable challenges of fighters like David Benavidez and David Morrell, who are both formidable forces in the 168-pound division. Photo: Instagram/Terence Crawford These fighters, known for their power and skill, could pose a serious threat to Crawford's undefeated record, pushing him back to welterweight or junior middleweight. To demon...

Tim Bradley Assesses Terence Crawford Chances Against Canelo Alvarez A 30-40% Shot at Super Middleweight Showdown

Photo: Instagram/Tim Bradley Tim Bradley has offered his assessment of Terence Crawford 's chances against Canelo Alvarez in a super middleweight clash for Canelo's four belts, giving Crawford a 30-40% chance of victory. This estimation is somewhat more optimistic than Chris Williams, who only grants Crawford a 10% chance, contingent on Canelo fighting while injured. Bradley acknowledges Crawford's superior skill set and his ability to set traps and exploit Canelo's high guard. However, Bradley's skepticism stems from the considerable size advantage that Canelo holds over Crawford. He expresses uncertainty about Crawford's ability to withstand Canelo's power, as Crawford has faced few heavy punchers in his career, with the most notable being Errol Spence , who was weight-drained during their bout. Photo: Instagram/Tim Bradley The question arises: Is Canelo simply too big for Crawford to handle? Crawford may need to initiate contact and attempt to persuade ...
