Jake Paul vs. Canelo Alvarez? Co-promoter says it's 'absolutely possible' after success of Mike Tyson fight

Jake Paul has gone farther in combat sports than anyone anticipated, but in terms of name value, it's likely impossible to top the iconic Mike Tyson, who the former Disney star recently defeated by unanimous decision for his 11th victory in an event that captured the attention of the sporting world.

Paul, 27, has called out many unique names throughout his face-punching journey. Some have been more realistic than others, while others have been pure fantasy — UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira is a perfect example of the latter. However, pound-for-pound boxing great Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has been on Paul's lips after several wins, and that's remained consistent both before and after the Tyson fight.
