Ilia Topuria wants to fight Canelo Alvarez

Days after claiming his first UFC title, newly minted featherweight champion Ilia Topuria is already eyeing a potential showdown with one of the biggest names in professional boxing — Canelo Alvarez.

On Saturday, February 17, ‘El Matador’ shocked the world with a vicious second-round knockout of Alexander Volkanovski in the UFC 298 main event. Since then, Topuria has been living it up, receiving a hero’s welcome in his return to Spain and calling out some of the biggest names in combat sports. Speaking with Joe Rogan immediately following his title-winning performance, Topuria called for a clash with Irish megastar Conor McGregor inside the Octagon.

On Thursday, the trend continued at a press event where Topuria expressed interest in a boxing match with the multi-time world champion.

Canelo Alvarez is one of the most revered athletes in the history of the sweet science. He has held world championships in four different weight classes from light middleweight to light heavyweight, including unified titles in three of those weight classes and lineal titles in two. He holds an impressive 60-2 record with 39 of his wins via knockout.

This is not the first time Ilia Topuria has expressed an interest in testing out his boxing skills against Alvarez. During a November appearance on the Overdogs Podcast — three months before his earth-shattering KO against Alexander Volkanovski — ‘El Matador’ shared his desire to step inside the squared circle with the Mexican sensation.

“I would love to fight one day with Canelo,” Topuria said. “I have so, so much respect for him. But I wanna fight with him one day. Once I win the belt and become a UFC world champion, I wanna go for him. Because I really think I have a chance with him. I’ve been following him forever. I believe I have the possibility to beat him.

Conor McGregor hits out at Canelo Alvarez I'll stomp your ligaments out of your knees

Appearing to take a dig at undisputed middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez in a bid to land a future rematch with common-foe, former world champion, Floyd Mayweather, former two-division UFC champion, Conor McGregor has claimed he would dispatch the Mexican boxer with ease if they ever fought.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he headlined UFC 264 back in July 2021, fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to former interim champion, Dustin Poirier.

Expected to make his return to active competition in the new year, McGregor has been pegged to fight Michael Chandler at the welterweight limit in 2024, having officially returned to the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) testing pool last week – ahead of the anti-doping agency’s impending exit from the organization. 

This morning, ahead of a planned return to the UFC, McGregor heaped praise on the above-mentioned Mayweather for his victory and performance against Jalisco native, Canelo back in 2013, before noting his hope to land a rematch with the Grand Rapids veteran in the future.

Taking umbrage with the Dubliner’s comments, Canelo hit back at McGregor – which has since led to a lengthy tirade aimed at the super middleweight champion, from the former UFC titleholder.

“Saul [Canelo Alvarez] you uncooked chicken, I’ll stomp the ligaments out of your knee joint,” Conor McGregor posted on his official X account. “I don’t even need hands to end you, I’ll kick you raw pink, leave you looking like you were left out in the sun too long haha freckle arse. I will see you and we weill see. Canelo is a cornflake, no sugar.”

Jake Paul unimpressed by Canelo Álvarez’s dominant win over Jermell Charlo: ‘Wait till [he] gets my power’

Jake Paul

Social media sensation Jake Paul sent a word of warning to Canelo Álvarez following the Mexican boxing superstar’s dominant win on Saturday night.

Returning to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Canelo secured his 60th career win with a decisive unanimous decision victory over Jermell Charlo to retain the undisputed super middleweight world championship. It was the first time that two undisputed titleholders had squared off in men’s boxing history.

The victory appeared to signal a return to form for Canelo who had received a significant amount of criticism following his three prior performances. However, the ‘Problem Child’ was still left unimpressed by what he saw and shared his desire to show the iconic pugilist what real power looks like inside the ring.

“Yeah Charlo is not really giving him anything, not really giving him that power,” Paul said in a clip from IFN Boxing on X. “Yeah, wait till Canelo gets my power, you know? Just wait, brother.”

It’s a rather bold statement from Jake Paul considering his power wasn’t enough to stop, or even earn a win over Tommy Fury in February.

Canelo Álvarez Open to a Fight with Jake Paul

Even with 62 pro fights under his belt, Canelo Álvarez is still just 33 years old, meaning he could have plenty of years left to compete at the highest possible level. But when he does decide to hang up his gloves for good, he’s more than willing to step inside the ring against Jake Paul for what would likely be an exhibition bout.

“When I’m done with boxing, why not? Maybe. Maybe I do it,” Alvarez told Full Send. “Why not? I think it’s good because other people who never watch boxing, they don’t know anything about boxing. They wanna watch Jake Paul because he brings fans from other worlds, not boxing fans. That’s good, because everybody enjoy it. What they do, I think they do for business and you need to respect that.”

Following his win over Charlo in Sin City, Canelo didn’t particularly care to speculate on who he would face next but was confident that his next bout would be during Cinco de Mayo weekend in 2024.
