For the Hispanic community residing in the United States, the interest in Latino boxing and big international fights does not cease, and the scenario may be close to offering a high voltage fight: Jake Paul has hinted that his next opponent could be Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, one of the biggest names in world boxing. This possibility has gained prominence following the cancellation of Paul’s fight against Gervonta Davis, originally scheduled for November 14, 2025, due to a domestic violence lawsuit filed against Davis.
Jake Paul’s entourage reports that the priority is to headline an evening before the end of the year, although the negotiation focus is already directed towards Mexico and beyond. In interviews with media outlets such as ESPN, Paul has stated that his team sees the fight against Canelo as viable and that Arab promoter Turki Alalshikh could play a key role in making it happen. For its part, Canelo’s team has not ruled out the option, although the Mexican is focused on recovering his level after the loss to Terence Crawford.
What is the actual status of the negotiation?
Although Jake Paul insists on the fight, the reality is that there is still no official signing.
Canelo previously signed a four-fight contract with Turki Alalshikh that, in February 2025, left Paul out of the picture immediately.
However, Paul’s promoters are still negotiating “in earnest” and believe the fight can be finalized in 2026.
