Recent reports suggest that Canelo Álvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, is considering a bout against Jake Paul, the YouTuber-turned-boxer, in May 2025. This fight is rumored to serve as a tune-up for Álvarez ahead of his anticipated showdown with Terence Crawford in September.
Jake Paul, boasting a record of 11 wins (7 by knockout) and 1 loss, has made a name for himself by taking on high-profile opponents, including a notable victory over 59-year-old Mike Tyson in November 2024. On the other hand, Canelo Álvarez holds an impressive record of 62 wins (39 by knockout), 2 losses, and 2 draws, solidifying his status as one of boxing's elite.
While neither camp has officially confirmed the matchup, the potential fight has generated significant buzz in the boxing community. The event is expected to be co-promoted by Canelo Promotions, MVP (Most Valuable Promotions), and PBC (Premier Boxing Champions).
Canelo's decision to face Jake Paul before his bout with Terence Crawford could be a strategic move to stay active and maintain peak condition. However, the choice of Paul as an opponent has elicited mixed reactions from fans and boxing analysts alike.
As of now, official announcements and further details are pending. Boxing enthusiasts are advised to stay tuned for updates as the situation develops.
