Jake Paul thinks he’s the new face of professional boxing and he’s ready to prove it against the best of the best.

On Friday, November 15, ‘The Problem Child’ will return to the ring for his 12th career fight and his toughest test to date when he meets former undisputed heavyweight champion and ‘Baddest Man on the Planet,’ Mike Tyson.

Paul vs. Tyson will emanate from the 80,000-seat AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and, per multiple reports, is close to selling out. The stacked fight card, which also features the highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, is scheduled to air live on Netflix around the world at no extra charge to the streaming giants’ 280 million active subscribers.

As a result, Paul vs. Tyson is on track to become one of the most-watched combat sports events of all time.

Jake Paul aims to score the ‘biggest upset in the sport of boxing’ against canelo alvarez

That alone is enough for ‘The Problem Child’ to consider himself the new “money magnet” in boxing, but should he get past the 58-year-old icon, he plans on calling out multi-weight world titleholder Canelo Alvarez for a battle over who gets to be boxing’s new figurehead.

“I do [have a callout], it’s Canelo,” Paul replied when O’Malley asked if he had a name in mind. “This moment will prove that I’m the face of boxing, the largest attraction. Me vs Canelo at 200 pounds for the cruiserweight championship of the world is the biggest fight — arguably even bigger than me vs. Tyson. It makes so much sense. You know, Canelo is on his way out, he’s going to want a payday, and I want to show the world that all of the shit I’ve been talking about beating Canelo is actually true.”

“I’ll have the biggest upset in the sport of boxing, and we will fight to see who actually is the face of boxing because, after this event, I’m going to claim it. I beat his gate record in Texas; I’m beating the ticket sales. The numbers and the data show it. I have more followers than him, etc. And this is going to be the most watched fight of this century, so I’m going to be the new money magnet” (h/t BJPenn.com).

Paul is currently 10-1 in his boxing career, his lone loss coming against Tommy Fury in February 2023. His wins are mostly comprised of ex-MMA stars such as Ben Askren, Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silva, and Nate Diaz.

His most recent victory came against the BKFC’s ‘King of Violence’ Mike Perry in July. Paul scored a sixth-round TKO against ‘Platinum’ in Tampa, snapping the former UFC fighter’s five-fight unbeaten streak.

Canelo Alvarez added another dominant decision victory to his resume on Saturday night in ‘Sin City.

Returning to T-Mobile, ‘Canelito’ put his WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight titles on the line against undefeated standout Edgar Berlanga in a fight that delivered the fireworks throughout its 12-round duration.

Berlanga came out looking a little jittery in the opening moments, but eventually found his footing and worked on splitting Avarez’s guard with a series of stiff jabs. Berlanga’s striking finally started to open up in the second stanza as the challenger landed some nice body shots and connected on multiple combinations.

Perhaps tired of playing with his food, Alvarez picked it up in the third and caught Berlanga in the corner with a lightning-fast left hand that sent his undefeated challenger crashing to the canvas. Berlanga answered the referee’s count prompting Alvarez to swarm and unleash of flurry of strikes. To Berlanga’s credit, he managed to survive the onslaught and made it out of the round.

Berlanga attempted to turn it on again in the later rounds, but an apparent injury to his right hand kept him from offering much in the way of offense until the final 10 seconds of the 12th when the two fighters decided to slug it out.

In the end, it was Alvarez who came out on top with a fairly dominant victory, taking the win on all three judge’s scorecards by a landslide.

Official Result: Canelo Alvarez def. Edgar Berlanga via unanimous decision (117-110, 118-109, 118-109)

Canelo Alvarez may have loads of talent, but legendary pugilist ‘Iron’ Mike Tyson doesn’t think he has much of a heart.

Bursting onto the boxing scene in the mid-80s, Tyson was one of the most fearsome heavyweights in the sport’s history, dispatching his first 19 opponents via knockout with none of them making it farther than the sixth round. Tyson was a fighter who prided himself on facing the next man up, no matter how big of a threat they posed.

In recent years, boxing has become more of a business than a sport with some of the biggest stars frequently holding out to try and secure a bigger bag and/or preserve their precious record rather than giving fans the fights they want to see.

As is the case with multi-weight world champion Canelo Alvarez who has routinely turned down a scrap with David Benavidez, the biggest threat to his status as the reigning WBA, WBC and WBO super middleweight champion, despite being offered a whopping $60 million to step in the ring with him.

“I can’t believe what I just heard,” Tyson told Marca in response to Alvarez turning down the fight with Benavidez. “What’s wrong with Canelo? Is he afraid of losing? Doesn’t he want to give the fans the fight they want to see? Don’t you want to give the fans the fight they want to see? Do you not respect the legacy of the great Mexican champions who faced the best regardless of the money?

This is a shame for boxing and for Mexico. If I were him, I would accept the fight with Benavidez and show the world that he is the best. But it seems he doesn’t have the courage to do it; It is a shame because he has a lot of talent but he lacks heart” (h/t Seconds Out).
