Jake Paulo believes that his next boxing fight against Mike Tyson it could be the “greatest fight the world has ever seen”… but Canelo Álvarez definitely won’t be tuning in – because the superstar boxer says TMZ Sports he has ZERO interest in the event.
There’s a bit of history between the Problem Child and the multi-time champion – Paul has constantly called Canelo out for a fight …and although the latter has softened his stance on the internet sensation’s presence in the sport, he has made it clear that the two will not meet in the ring.
With Paulo x Tyson scheduled to release in July, we had to ask Canelo if he was interested in checking it out… and sorry, Jake — it’s a big, fat “no.”
“No way, no way,” Canelo told us. “No, nothing.”
Canelo admitted that there is a (sort of) silver lining to the event – Netflix hosting the event on its platform – but he believes the streaming giant that made Paul vs. Tyson his first card was a big one.
“I think it’s more of a show than a fight,” said Canelo.

Speaking of fights, one that Canelo certainly approves of is his upcoming clash with the undefeated Jaime Munguia …and explained why it’s such an important fight – especially since it takes place on Cinco de Mayo weekend.
Canelo praised his opponent… saying that they both have similar mentalities and will give it their all.
He added that he is even more motivated to get the win, considering that Munguia has an unblemished record… and like every fight, he will try to knock him out.
There’s more – since it’s Mexican vs. Mexican… Canelo teased that something is already in the works to ensure it will be a night his fans won’t forget.
