Jake Paul blows up Canelo Alvarez on Friday.
“Canelo Alvarez covered me, and now a slave owned in light of the pride of the Mexican people who support him in our soil,” Paul wrote on X earlier on Twitter. It’s there. Did nothing for the sport of boxing outside the ring. ”
Co-founded by Paul and business partner Naxa Bidalian, MVP Promotion issued a statement saying Paul was “deep in negotiations” for the fight to hit. ESPN reported that Alvarez has signed a contract and has signed a deal with a Saudi Arabian power broker.
Turki Aralsik, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Bureau, announced that Alvarez has signed the Riyadh season and four fights. Alalshikh said the first battle will take place in Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, in May. No opponents have been announced.
Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) is widely considered boxing’s biggest star. However, Paul (11-1, 7 KOS) declared he was “a new face in boxing,” saying, “I can’t make the biggest fight of 2025 that doesn’t involve my name. When everything tanks and loses money, you will lose everything. Understand who the king of sports is.”
Paul said he is 28 years old and has a victory over Mike Tyson. In “The Greatest Battle in Boxing History,” he writes in X. Not owned. Five years. Your cat wants to see me fail, but God has other plans. It is an age of goodness. Elephant age. That’s the era of MVPs. ”
ESPN reported on Thursday that the two boxers had confirmed the deal, but later reported that Canelo had resolved a future fight. According to MVP Promotion, the match took place in Las Vegas over the weekend of Cinco Daemaiyo.
“We continue to have active discussions with multiple well-known enemies and are committed to working with our biggest battles, the most exciting events, and our shared partners.
The MVP Promotion did not immediately respond to requests for further information regarding negotiations with Alvarez.
Turki Aralshuk, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Bureau, announced that Alvarez has signed the Riyadh season and four fights. Alalshikh said the first battle will take place in Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, in May.
As a result, Paul has been more than two months since he defeated Tyson with the unanimous decision on November 15th.
“Jake Paul is not going anywhere, and there is no MVP,” read the MVP Promotion statement.
