It’s not been finalized, but ‘The Problem Child’ is already in the works. A potential clash with Canelo Alvarez appears to have eclipsed the much-sought-after Terence Crawford duel that met with a discomforting end after several reports suggested that the September showdown has been called off. A past master when it comes to hyping up his fights, Jake Paul kicked off with a neatly aimed swipe.
The mock follows close associate Nakisa Bidarian’s hold your horses message. Unlike Paul, the target of his jab was Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn. Perhaps inadvertently, the Englishman stirred the pot, blurting out, “The Jake Paul fight is done.” Till a few days ago, to most fans, it seemed certain; after a long wait, Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford will join a dance. But to no avail. Hopes crashed when it emerged that the fight will not happen. On the other hand, ‘Lady Luck’ seems to have blessed Jake Paul. For long the YouTuber-turned-boxer has been a member of the Canelo Alvarez call-out team. Now his prayers may have been answered.
“A-Side in every fight I’ve been in, and that’s not changing for this one,” stated Jake Paul through his Twitter handle. Perhaps he understands that he is facing a ‘face of boxing.’ Nevertheless, given how he has proved himself to be one of the sport’s biggest draws, confidence in himself to surpass even a P4P great and a future Hall of Famer appears imperative.
