A stunning professional boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Jake Paul is close to being finalized to take place on Cindo de Mayo weekend this year — in a cruiserweight pairing of 200lbs according to reports tonight.
Canelo, the current undisputed super middleweight champion, was linked heavily this week with a massive super fight against unbeaten welterweight kingpin, Terence Crawford, until talks regarding a pairing hit the skids — despite a verbal agreement reportedly being reached.
However, according to reports tonight from ESPN reporter, Mike Coppinger, talks are being finalized for a cruiserweight matchup of Canelo Alvarez and Jake Paul on May 3.
