Jake Paul lashed out at Canelo Alvarez for not pushing through with their fight and signing a different deal. The YouTuber-turned-boxing star even leaked a proof of their signed contract.
An enraged Paul publicly hit out at Alvarez for allegedly ditching their boxing match for a multi-fight deal with Riyadh Season. In a video on Instagram, “The Problem Child” went full-blast in exposing the Mexican boxing champion.
“Oh, Canelo, you p*ta. Time to expose him. So, we had a signed contract to fight,” Paul began.”Here you can see Canelo’s signature and my signature to the right. Claiming he’s not fighting YouTubers. Bulls***. Look at the poster, we were announcing [the fight]… Claiming he’s fighting real fighters, but he’s fighting [Terence] Crawford, a 135-pound fighter, and running from a real fighter like David Benavidez. You b****.”
“The truth is, you can be bought,” he continued. “You’re a money-hungry squirrel chasing your next nut. The truth is, these sports-washing, shady characters are paying you hundreds of millions of dollars to stop our fight from happening because they couldn’t fathom the fact that they can’t create a bigger fight than me and you.”
“You call me a YouTuber, but you’ve never had a boxing match as big as mine,” he added. ” “Remember you told my team that your daughter came home and asked if you were fighting Jake Paul? She was all excited. You said that was the first time your daughter’s ever asked you about a fight. I promise you one thing, Canelo. Any fight that you do this year, mine will be bigger.”
Jake Paul concluded that Canelo Alvarez ducked him
In another post on Instagram, Paul concluded that Canelo “ducked” him. He also reiterated that Alvarez has no gratitude for his Mexican fans, while self-proclaiming that he has already become the “new face of boxing.”
“Breaking news: Canelo Alvarez ducked me, Jake Paul, and is now an owned slave with no regard for the pride of the Mexican people who support him on US soil. it’s not surprising when his whole career he has done nothing for the sport of boxing outside the ring. I’m the new face of boxing. You cannot have the biggest fight of 2025 without my name involved. When all of your events tank and lose money you will all realize who the king of the sport is. 28 years old. Biggest fight in boxing history. My own boss. Not owned. 5 years in. All of you felines want to see me fail, but God has other plans. It’s the era of good. The era of the elephant. It’s the era of MVP. @mostvaluablepromotions,” Paul wrote.

Jake Paul has long been eyeing a super fight with Alvarez and this was perhaps the closest they have gotten to actually making it happen. However, that is not the case now as Alvarez is already expected to face Terence Crawford on September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
