Jake Paul believes he will eventually fight Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and even his own brother Logan Paul – but has closed the door on facing Tommy Fury.
The YouTube superstar-turned-boxer returns to the ring on Saturday night in a rematch with Tyron Woodley, who replaced the injured and unwell Fury.
Paul said to Showtime ahead of his fifth pro fight: “I will fight Canelo 100 per cent. Look at this guy Avni Yildirim [who Canelo beat earlier this year]. His nickname was ‘The Turkish Warrior’. He got to fight Canelo.
“He sat down in the corner and quit. He didn’t throw a punch.
“Why can he get the fight but I can’t?
“I’m bigger than that guy. I’m stronger.
“It’s not about how long you’ve been doing something. It’s about how right you have been doing it.”
Canelo is a four-weight world champion, currently the undisputed super-middleweight title-holder, renowned as boxing’s top fighter.
