Last week, for about a day, boxing had what was sure to be a huge pay-per-view draw on the table when ESPN reported that the undisputed super middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez, and Jake Paul were finalizing a deal for a fight in May 2025 in Las Vegas.

The boxing world just got rocked. Fresh off the news that legendary boxer Canelo Alvarez will not fight Terence Crawford in what was a highly anticipated bout expected for September, the 34-year-old native of Guadalajara, Mexico and Jake Paul are finalizing a deal for a May 3 clash, per ESPN's Mike Coppinger.

Jake Paul was focused on Canelo Alvarez, but the Mexican star has continued to insist that he only fights "real fighters." Who will Paul fight next?
