Jake Paul says Canelo Alvarez ducking fighters by taking Bivol fight

Forward of this weekend’s large battle for ladies’s boxing, when Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano collide, MVP promoter Jake Paul took a while to speak to Struggle Hub TV about his ideas on some potential fights on the market for him, and even touched on Canelo Alvarez’s subsequent scheduled battle in opposition to Dmitry Bivol.

This will get a bit of fascinating as a result of there was a little bit of a social media dust-up prior to now couple of days when Canelo was criticized by the supervisor of UFC champion Kamaru Usman, who claimed Canelo is ducking good fights by taking over Bivol.

Now it’s clearly ridiculous to conflate Bivol’s boxing capacity along with his social media following, however so far as stirring up the pot this tweet even managed to get the eye of Canelo himself. And maybe simply as fittingly, social media star Jake Paul agrees with the premise of Canelo ducking the very best opponents on the market for him.

“I feel Kamaru Usman’s supervisor is true in a way,” Paul says. “Regardless that he’s a rat, everyone knows he’s a bit of scumbag prison, liar, received kicked out of a rustic — so I feel his supervisor’s a bit of shit, don’t get me mistaken — however I feel he’s proper within the sense that Canelo is ducking lots of people. You understand, battle Benavidez, battle Charlo, why aren’t these fights taking place? And, you realize, he’s not combating any actually large names. These guys are comparatively unprecedented.

“And that’s why I wish to get my palms on Canelo as nicely. I feel that might be a large, huge pay-per-view, huge, huge leisure spectacle.”

I believe that the majority studying this wouldn’t give a lot credence to the concept of Canelo ducking, notably with this battle, however apparently that is an precise narrative being floated round. Is it potential {that a} battle in opposition to Bivol will be construed as duck of David Benavidez or Jermall Charlo? I’m skeptical, however let’s focus on under.
