Mexican boxing icon Canelo Alvarez is reportedly considering a bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul during Cinco de Mayo weekend in May. While no formal agreement is in place, industry sources suggest the fight is under serious consideration, potentially taking place on May 3rd in Las Vegas. The matchup, which could be either an exhibition or a sanctioned bout, has sparked debate about its potential impact on both boxers' careers and the landscape of the sport.
Would Canelo Alvarez actually fight Jake Paul in a boxing match? Apparently, he’s at least thinking about it., the Mexican icon and YouTuber-turned-boxer have engaged in “some level of discussion” about a fight in May during Cinco de Mayo weekend.
What’s unclear is whether this fight would be an exhibition or a sanctioned bout, as Paul competes at cruiserweight, while Canelo has never fought above light heavyweight. While Paul is not Puerto Rican, he lives in Puerto Rico and goes by the nickname El Gallo Dorado.Trump Tariffs Live Updates: Beijing Criticizes ‘Politicization’ Of Chinese Companies After USPS Halts Incoming Packages From ChinaTrump Says U.S.
However, Paul has consistently generated controversy ahead of his fights—including his November showdown with Mike Tyson. Controversy has proven to be a potent ingredient in Paul’s winning formula and drawing power. That said, Canelo’s decision-making is hard to fault from a business standpoint. If both fights happen, he’ll secure back-to-back paydays likely more lucrative than any other matchups in his illustrious career.
