Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez isn’t interested in a fight against Jake Paul amid the former YouTuber’s callouts, but he can see an exhibition match between them down the line.
During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Álvarez was asked if he’d be interested in a fight against Paul and he said, “Yeah, maybe, but not right now. … For me, not right now, because I’m chasing other things in my career.
