YouTuber Jake Paul believes he has what it takes to beat pound-for-pound No. 1 Canelo Alvarez at his own game.
Paul is gearing up to face former UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley on Aug. 29 — but the brash 24-year-old is also targeting ‘money fights’ against Alvarez and Conor McGregor.
Paul is confident in his chances against both men but seems hyper-focused on the idea of beating Canelo, who Paul claims is roughly 37 pounds lighter than him.
“I’m very confident,” Paul told Maxim’s Tom Taylor in a recent interview. “He’s a killer at 168 pounds, but people forget that I naturally walk around at about 205, so there’s a big weight difference.
