Jake Paul consistently wants to face Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and make "the biggest upset in the history of boxing." Canelo has told Paul to "stay in his lane" and is very much at the peak of his career in boxing. A quote from The Full Send podcast reveals that Canelo is open to the idea only when his top-level fighting days are gone.

* * *

Canelo said: “When I’m done with boxing [at the highest level], why not? Yeah, maybe. I think it’s good cause what happens is other people who never watch boxing, they don’t know anything about boxing, they want to watch Jake Paul because he brings fans from other world. Maybe [I’ll take the Paul fight].”

Justin Brownlee, Kai Sotto, and Scottie Thompson led the Gilas offensive to finally end the Tall Blacks’ domination of the Philippines in FIBA competitions.

By beating New Zealand, Gilas stayed undefeated in the FIBA Asia qualifiers with a 3-0 win-loss record in Group B, moving closer to booking a spot in the FIBA Asia Cup 2025.
