Boxing insider claims Canelo Alvarez is set to fight Jake Paul next: ‘I’m hearing it’s done’

Canelo, the current undisputed super middleweight champion, was linked heavily this week with a massive super fight against current welterweight titleholder, Terence Crawford on a date yet to be disclosed — potentially as soon as this summer.
