Canelo Alvarez and Jake Paul are in the process of finalizing a deal for a May 3 cruiserweight fight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, sources told ESPN on Thursday. The fight would be contested at the cruiserweight limit of 200 pounds, sources said, and was expected to be streamed on Netflix.
This fight is being made possible thanks to the Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez fight falling apart after being agreed on. But Canelo was already going to fight on May 3 as Crawford was planning on prepping his body for the increase in weight.
