ESPN in Latin America are usually a very strong source so the following here on Canelo vs Jake Paul is concerning, and, alarming.
Canelo Alvarez the boxing superstar from Mexico will fight Terence Crawford in a super fight in professional boxing this coming September.
What he does before that, though, in terms of exhibitions or whatever, is not known. ESPN in Latin America on X (Spanish to English translation via X):
“Canelo vs Jake Paul in May? A source very close to the operation informed
@julianisjulius that there is already an agreement for Canelo Álvarez and Jake Paul to face each other in May of this year in an event co-promoted by CaneloPromotions&MVP&PBC”
On first analysis, any sane individual will say this seems like rubbish and obviously to be only taken with a pinch of salt, and they’d be right normally.
Usually we give no time to things like this but the fact it is from ESPN in Latin America warrants further testing and inspection.
We live in interesting times.
