Logan Paul rejects offer to fight Manny Pacquiao in boxing return

However, Logan Paul, who has also been linked to a fight against controversial former kickboxing champion, Andrew Tate, claimed he had received an offer to box the veteran, Pacquiao – which he ultimately decided to turn down.

“It was on the table,” Logan Paul said of a fight with Manny Pacquiao during an interview with Fight Hub TV. “On the table, like, ‘Do you want this fight (with Manny Pacquiao)?’ I said, ‘No’, because I will not be the guy that just fights retired boxers. I did that once, now I’m going to fight a wrestler in his prime, let’s see what happens.”

Featuring under the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) banner since last year, Paul is expected to face champion, Roman Reigns at a WWE Crown Jewel pay-per-view event on November 5. from the Mrsool Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

As for Pacquaio, the former eight-division world champion last featured atop an August card against Cuban puncher, Yordenis Ugas, suffering a unanimous decision loss in a WBA super welterweight title offing over the course of 12 rounds in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Canelo Alvarez put a decisive end to his rivalry with Gennady Golovkin with a dominant win in the trilogy bout.

Going into the bout off a loss to Dmitry Bivol, Canelo was looking to turn his fortunes back to winning ways against Golovkin at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. After two close-fought controversial matches, the pair returned for what looked like the final outing between the two.

Canelo got off to a strong start early on in the fight and had a commanding first eight rounds before Bivol picked up the pace. However, it was a bit too late for GGG as he could not do enough. He lost out on the judges’ scorecards unanimously in what many would consider a shockingly close result.

Canelo Alvarez reveals he needs surgery for his left hand

During the post-fight interview, Canelo Alvarez shared his thoughts on the trilogy win over Golovkin.

“I’ve gone through some very difficult things in my life,” Canelo said. “The only thing you can do is try and continue to move forward. I’ve gone through difficult times recently with my defeats to comeback and show humility. He’s a really good fighter. I know he’s strong. We are here, I’m glad to share the ring with him. I’m going to keep moving forward to keep my legacy strong. I know he’s a tough fighter but I’m glad I learned from everything. I’m not good from my left hand so I need surgery but I’m good. I’m a warrior. It bothered me a lot. I can’t hold a glass.”

Canelo is looking to avenge his loss to Dmitry Bivol

Canelo also talked about his defeat to Bivol and declared that he would seek redemption next.

“It’s very important for my legacy and for me (to avenge the loss to Bivol), for my country, for my family, and for everything, it’s very important. I will beat him.”

Canelo Alvarez handily defeats Gennadiy Golovkin in trilogy bout – Canelo vs. GGG 3 Highlights

On Saturday night, live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Canelo Alvarez and ‘Triple G’ Gennadiy Golovkin met for their highly anticipated trilogy bout with the Super Middleweight World Championship on the line. After a draw in their first meeting and Alvarez’s closely-contested victory in the rematch, the pair came together once again to […]

In the opening round, Alvarez came out putting pressure on Golovkin, but ‘Triple G’ held his ground and worked to establish his jab. Golovkin implemented a fairly slow pace that followed in the second round as Canelo Alvarez landed a nice hook on Golovkin. Just under a minute to go in the second, Alvarez lands another solid right hook and an overhand right as ‘Triple G’ struggles to find his target. Alvarez began to open up in the third, being more aggressive and beginning to target the body. After three rounds, Alvarez appeared to be in control, landing with the jab, controlling the pace and rendering Golovkin’s offense ineffective thus far.

Coming out for the fourth, Alvarez remains a step ahead of Golovkin and continues to bring an aggressive pace over the 40-year-old challenger. Canelo Alvarez clearly has the speed advantage as ‘Triple G’ is unable to land anything beyond the occasional jab. 25-seconds to go in the round, Alvarez throws a thunderous right that Golovkin partially blocks, but is unable to answer as the fourth comes to a close. More of the same in the fifth round as Alvarez closes it with a big overhand right followed by a left hook that gets the attention of Golovkin.

As the sixth round closes, ‘Triple G’ is still hesitant to pull the trigger and the crowd is beginning to get a bit restless with the lack of activity from the challenger. The seventh round comes and goes with Canelo Alvarez continuing his control. ‘Triple G’ is beginning to look a bit dejected and it’s clear that Golovkin can’t keep up with the speed of Alvarez as the bell sounds indicating the end of the eighth round.

In the ninth, ‘Triple G’ came out, likely sensing time was running out and began to let his hands go, backing up Alvarez briefly. Golovkin began to stalk Alvarez, pushing him to the ropes as the chamipon returned fire. It was the first round where Golovkin appeared to have the advantage. As the competitive tenth round closes, an accidental headbutt opens up a small cut on the right eye of Alvarez. After another competitive round in the eleventh, both fighters come out swinging in the twelvth and final round.

Alvarez continues moving forward while Golovkin appears content to counterstrike and simply cross the finish line. Each time the fighters get close, ‘Triple G’ clinches, hoping to avoid any additional damage as the final seconds tick away. As the final bell sounds, the two fighters embrace in the middle of the ring and await the official decision.

Official Result: Canelo Alvarez def. Gennadiy Golovkin via unanimous decision (116-112, 115-113, 115-113)
