1xBet’s Odds at 5 predict a 20% chance that Saul Alvarez will be Jake Paul’s next opponent in a boxing match ::: Discover the current Odds now HERE

Saul Alvarez

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is the bookies’ favorite to fight Jake Paul next.

The bout is sure to secure the interest of avid boxing fans, as the Mexican professional boxer was the first and only fighter in the sport’s history to become an undisputed super middleweight champion, and he held this status until July 2024.

As Jake Paul has been criticized for fighting inactive professional boxers, a boxing match against Canelo, who is an active boxer, may help the YouTuber prove he deserves to fight in a professional ring.

It is, however, a risky move for Jake Paul, as Canelo Alvarez is regarded by many as one of the best boxers in the sport, which could cut the YouTuber’s sporting career short.

Jake Paul might believe he has size on his side during the bout, as he’s naturally much bigger than Canelo. However, he might lack the skills and experience Alvarez has in the ring.

It is important to note that Canelo recently stated his current focus is to fight against world-class professionals in the ring, but he might be open to a boxing match with Jake Paul toward the end of his career.

Artur Beterbiev

Artur Beterbiev inflated Jake Paul’s ego an inch more by publicly challenging the YouTuber to a fight.

After Paul’s win by unanimous decision against Mike Tyson, Beterbiev tagged the influencer on Instagram and wrote, “What can you do in the ring against the current undisputed champ?”

Jake Paul was quick to share Beterbiev’s interest in the fight, writing, “Just seen this… top 5 for pound fighter in the world calling me out. Hahahahahaha. 4 years in and I run this sport.”

Eager to embark on the fight, Beterbiev replied, “After four years, it’s time to have serious challenges. Didn’t notice your acceptance or rejection. So what are we gonna do?”

If Jake Paul is serious about winning a major world title at a fast rate, Artur Beterbiev could be his best path to boxing glory.

Claressa Shields

Claressa Shields, a previous undisputed female middleweight champion, recently called out Jake Paul for a fight.

The two-time Olympic gold medallist is often nicknamed the GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time), as she is one of four boxers in history to hold all major world titles, and her professional record is 15-0.

If Jake Paul accepts her offer, the fight will likely be a battle of the sexes, and a victory for Claressa Shields could help eliminate sexism in the sport. If Paul wins, it could prove he has the skills to beat a respected professional boxer in the ring.

Claressa Shields recently told USA Today Sports, “Those who oppose this are simply sexist and lack an understanding of boxing. It’s quite strange to me that they believe a YouTuber could defeat a woman boxer who has achieved two Olympic gold medals, multiple world titles and has competed as a heavyweight.”

Other possible opponents may include Connor McGregor, Jorge Masvidal, Gervonta Davis, KSI, or a rematch against Tommy Fury or Mike Tyson.

If you believe Tommy Fury will be Jake Paul’s next opponent in a boxing match, you could win $1100 by betting $100 at 1xBet if it happens.
