Jake Paul Says Canelo Alvarez Is A ‘Hater,’ Claims He’s Ducking Plant, Benavidez, and Andrade
Jake Paul has blasted Canelo Alvarez.
Paul, who is set for his third professional boxing match against Ben Askren on April 17, isn’t a fan of Alvarez. After the Mexican one his last fight, two fans snuck into the ring with t-shirts with Paul and Askren’s face and Alvarez kicked them out.
For Paul, he believes Alvarez is a hater and he also blasted the Mexican for ducking several fighters.
“A lot has happened in the boxing world in the past couple of days I feel like I need to rant on it because some of it’s funny, it’s hilarious, people are calling me out, etc,” Jake Paul said to Fight Hub Tv (via BadLeft Hook). “So first situation is Canelo’s fight. Two kids break into the fight, sneak onto the stage and the kids are actually wearing a picture of my face and Ben Askren’s face. Canelo sees that they’re on stage, he double-takes, looks, sees the kids wearing a picture of my face and is like ‘oh, get the fuck out of here!’
“Canelo, what’s your problem bro? Why you hate me so much? Canelo’s mad. He has this thing against me, he said I’m bad for the sport, I’m disrespecting it, which doesn’t make sense at all,” Paul added. “I’m actually just bringing more eyeballs, more awareness to the sport of boxing. But since Canelo, you wanted to start this beef, let’s do it.
“Bro, you’re mad because DAZN had to renegotiate your contract because you weren’t selling enough. You’re mad because there’s someone new coming into the sport,” Jake Paul concluded. “You claim you’re the pound-for-pound best fighter but you’re fighting these guys from Turkey that no one’s ever heard of. You were a -5000 favorite. Why not fight Caleb Plant, David Benavidez, ‘Boo Boo’ Andrade? You’re ducking them. You’re ducking them, Canelo. You’re an old hater, that’s what you are.”
Jake Paul has taken shots at several pro fighters and boxers and Canelo Alvarez is now the latest. So far, Alvarez has yet to respond and it is unlikely he will.
