Five days after beating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Paul took to X (formerly Twitter) with a bold message. He wrote, "Canelo is next." This isn't the first time Paul has called out Canelo on social media. He's done it before, unhappy with Canelo's comments and refusal to fight him.
Canelo hasn't responded to Paul's latest post. But in the past, he laughed off Paul's challenges. In a video, Canelo said, "Hey guys don't pay attention to anything, to this YouTuber (Jake Paul), I only fight real boxers, don't mess with Canelo, come on."
Paul keeps pushing for a fight with Canelo. He's beaten Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and thinks he's ready for bigger challenges. But Canelo doesn't seem interested. He's made it clear he only wants to face what he calls "real boxers."
This back-and-forth between Paul and Canelo has been going on for a while. Paul keeps calling Canelo out, and Canelo keeps ignoring him. It's turning into quite the saga in the boxing world.
