Canelo<\/a> Alvarez is just months away from his highly anticipated battle with Terence Crawford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old from Guadalajara, Mexico will face Crawford at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday September 13.<\/p>\n

Canelo will make the first defence of his undisputed super-middleweight championship against the unbeaten American star, having achieved this feat at 168lbs for the second time in his career last month when he defeated William Scull.<\/p>\n

Before it was confirmed that the Mexican star would do battle with \u2018Bud\u2019, there had been reports that the 34-year-old was in negotiations for a controversial match-up against Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Carl Froch<\/a>, Canelo was asked if he has any interest in a potential showdown with \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 in the near future.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNot right now, I talked about it but not right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Paul\u2019s transition into boxing has been met with mixed reviews, with the majority of the boxing community expressing their frustration towards the 28-year-old since his debut back in 2020.<\/p>\n

His last outing came against heavyweight legend Mike Tyson, outpointing the now retired 58-year-old via unanimous decision at the AT&T Stadium in Texas on November 15.<\/p>\n

Paul makes his long-awaited return to the ring against Mexico\u2019s former WBC world middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on Saturday June 28<\/a>, as he bids to move a step closer to securing himself a dream world title shot.<\/p>\n

Another option for \u2018The Problem Child\u2019 could be a shock catchweight bout against reigning WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis, with a fight reportedly being targeted to take place before the end of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canelo Alvarez is just months away from his highly anticipated battle with Terence Crawford.
