Jake Paul responds to Canelo Alvarez defeat with X-rated message to Eddie Hearn

Alvarez was outpointed by Dmitry Bivol as he failed in his attempt to become a two-time light-heavyweight world champion

Jake Paul isn confident he will beat Canelo Alvarez within three years after the Mexican was beaten by Dmitry Bivol.

Alvarez was outpointed by his Russian rival as he fell short in his bid to win a second light-heavyweight world title. And Paul, who has regularly called out the pound-for-pound great, was quick to respond.

“And just like that Canelo Alvarez loses to Dmitry Bivol,” he said in a video posted on social media. “An amazing fight by Bivol. I’m two inches bigger than Bivol and 40lb heavier. Give me three years and I take out Canelo in the same way. He was on the ropes like he won but he only won three rounds in the entire fight.

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE

“Eddie Hearn, f*** you, you can suck my d***. I’m coming and I’m beating Canelo in three f***ing years, I put that on my mama. Congrats to Dmitry Bivol, he showed Canelo is easily beatable by a bigger man which is what I’ve known for a long time. Believe in yourself and don’t listen to those British s***bags like Eddie Hearn.”

Paul has amassed a record of 5-0 as a professional boxer since making his debut in 2020. He stopped fellow YouTuber AnEsonGib before knocking out former NBA star Nate Robinson. Paul then turned his attention to former UFC fighters, stopping Ben Askren before outpointing Tyron Woodley.

Paul then agreed a fight with Tommy Fury, brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson, before the Brit pulled out at two weeks’ notice with a broken rib. Paul instead fought Woodley for a second time, knocking out the former UFC welterweight champion in the sixth round.

Paul will return to the ring on August 13 with Fury and UFC legend Anderson Silva the frontrunners to be his sixth opponent.
