Although the four-division champion has said he has other professional aspirations, Jake Paul is determined to take on serious challenges and he wouldn’t completely rule out a fight with Canelo. It is worth noting that 26-year-old Jake is seven years younger than the Mexican.

“I think the path I’m on right now is preparing me to fight Canelo in the future. I’m even showing him that I can fight ten or 12 rounds and I’ve done it with real legit professional boxers and I’ve beaten them. So, “when I beat these guys in a year or two and I continue to raise the level of competition, I think against Canelo it becomes a really interesting fight,” Paul added.
