Jake Paul again confirmed that he wants to face Canelo Alvarez and defeat Mike Tyson next Friday.

Paul will face Tyson in a controversial but highly anticipated heavyweight bout at AT&T Stadium, streaming live on Netflix.

The YouTuber-turned-boxer has been vocal about his desire to face the Mexican four-weight world champion and believes it could be staged for a cruiserweight world title shot, a weight in which Alvarez has never fought.

Canelo had previously downplayed dealing with the “Problem Kid,” but in May the 34-year-old told reporters he might give him a chance in two years.

Paul claims his fight will break Alvarez’s attendance record of 73,126 beat Billy Joe Saunders at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in May 2021 and believes the unified super middleweight champion will have to fight him to regain his status as the face of boxing.

“It’s Canelo,” Paul said Suga Sean O’Malley.

“This moment will prove that I am the face of boxing.

“The biggest attraction and me vs. Canelo at 200 pounds for the world cruiserweight title is probably even bigger than me vs. Tyson and it makes a lot of sense.

“Canelo is on his way out.

“He will want a payday and I want to show the world that all the bullshit I talked about beating Canelo is true and I will be the most upset in the sport of boxing.

“We will fight over who the real face is because I will be running for it after this event.

“I broke his goalscoring record in Texas. I beat ticket sales and all that.”

Alvarez moved up to delicate heavyweight twice, knocking out Sergei Kovalev to win the WBO title in November 2019, but failed to capture the WBA title in May 2022 against Dmitry Bivol.

The WBC approved Alvarez’s request to fight then-WBC cruiserweight champion Ilunga Makabu in November 2021, and considering that fight never happened, Paul believes the Guadalajara native will still want to win the cruiserweight belt.

When asked if he thought Alvarez would agree to face him, the 27-year-old replied: “He will.

“The reason is that he will want to win his fifth title in the weight division.

“He wanted to win the cruiserweight belt.

“He was going to challenge Makabu to become the cruiserweight champion, so he wants to conquer that division so he can call himself the cruiserweight champion, and that’s where the fight makes sense.

“I can’t make 175 pounds, so this fight should be for the belt and it makes the most sense at cruiserweight.”

Boxing fans spent a fortune buying a staggering £1.5million of VIP tickets for Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson. Six guests will receive incredible access to both fighters and a huge range of benefits over three days.

The package includes a pre-fight locker room visit and a custom-built ringside room to elevate the lucky winners above the rest of the crowd. They will also be on stage during the ceremonial weigh-in and will have private entry to all events.

In total, guests can enjoy 12 benefits, which also include a two-night stay at the luxurious Loews Arlington hotel. It is believed that the exclusive package was purchased by personal injury law firm TorkLaw and they will definitely be seen on Netflix due to the proximity of their suite to the ring.

However, early photos of the stadium suggest that guests won’t actually be able to watch the action unfold in front of them. Instead, there are television screens in the walled area that will show the fighting.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul will fight former undisputed world heavyweight champion Tyson on Saturday morning in Texas. Concerns have been raised over the huge 31-year age difference between the fighters.

Paul is in excellent sports shape at the age of 27, and Tyson is 58. Concerns were raised for the boxing icon’s safety and he revealed he even rejected his wife’s advice that he didn’t need to take the fight.

Both fighters are expected to earn huge amounts of money for this fight. Paul boasted that he could earn around £31 million ($40 million), although Tyson downplayed the figures, saying they would not change his life.

The full list of benefits available on the exclusive £1.5 million package includes:

• (2) ringside seats and (4) front row ringside seats
• Impressions in the ring after the fight with the opportunity to take a photo
• Position on stage during the weigh-in ceremony

Former world champion Tony Bellew was kicked out of Mike Tyson’s press conference with Jake Paul after he went on a tirade against the YouTuber. Bellew is in Texas for Tyson’s heavyweight clash with Paul on Friday and interrupted the press conference to criticize Paul.

However, the stunt backfired when Bellew’s microphone failed and no one could hear the former cruiserweight champion. He was then awkwardly escorted out of the room by security as a confused Paul looked on.

Bellew has consistently criticized Paul, who has built a boxing career since his professional debut in 2020. In his 12th professional fight, he will face 58-year-old Tyson, and his only defeat was last year against Tommy Fury.

Earlier this week, Bellew criticized Paul for the Tyson fight. He said The best books about sports Offsore: “Mike Tyson is a grandfather.

“He is 58 years vintage. He’s approaching 60 and fighting a man who’s not even half his age. Disney Boy is attacking grandparents right now. It’s really scary. We might as well go to the nursing home and start digging out some of them.”

“If Mike shows up and puts his right hand on him, he will fall asleep. So who should he fight? 70 years vintage? If he wins, will he continue to play like this as he gets older? Is he going to come down? Will he face a real boxer?”

Despite a break from Bellew, Tyson remained largely hushed just two days before returning to the ring. The boxing legend last fought four years ago when he and Roy Jones Jr ended in a dull draw after eight rounds.

However, Paul had doubts whether Tyson would keep his promise and knock out the social media sensation. “He says he’s going to kill me, doesn’t he? I want this killer, I want there to be no excuses when I knock him out.”

Asked if Tyson had called him a “fabricated killer”, Paul replied: “Whatever you want to think, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the deadliest weapon in the world being produced is nuclear weapons.

“Someone is put to sleep, it will be a war. We’re both weighty hitters and it doesn’t go the distance.
