Jake Paul Accuses Canelo Alvarez of Backing Out of Signed Las Vegas Fight Agreement

Social media personality and boxer Jake Paul has publicly criticized Canelo Alvarez for allegedly breaking a fight agreement. Paul claims that both he and Alvarez had signed a contract for a bout scheduled for May 3 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

To support his assertion, Paul shared a video on social media platform X, displaying what he says are the signatures of both fighters on the contract. The 28-year-old expressed his disappointment with Alvarez’s decision to instead face undefeated boxer Terence Crawford in September.

Paul also voiced his disapproval of Alvarez’s recent four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, a Saudi Arabian entertainment entity. According to reports, Alvarez’s next fight will take place in Riyadh, followed by the September clash with Crawford in Las Vegas.

The YouTube star accused Alvarez of neglecting his Mexican fanbase by choosing to fight in the Middle East. He argued that this move prioritizes financial gain over loyalty to supporters.

Following his controversial exhibition match against 58-year-old Mike Tyson last November, Paul appears to be seeking opponents closer to his own age. His interest in facing Alvarez, a 34-year-old champion, suggests a desire to compete against more established boxers in their prime.

As the situation unfolds, fight fans await further developments and potential responses from Alvarez’s camp regarding Paul’s allegations.
