Canelo Alvarez has been called out by Jake PaulCredit: APBut Paul is thinking ahead and revealed he will call out Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez if he wins and wants to fight for the world title.

He said on Sean O’Malley’s podcast: “I mean, this moment will prove that I’m the face of boxing.

“The largest attraction, and me versus Canelo at 200lbs for the cruiserweight championship of the world is the biggest fight arguably even bigger than me versus Tyson and it makes so much sense.

“You know, Canelo’s on his way out, he’s gonna want a payday and I want to show the world that all the s*** I’ve been talking about beating Canelo is true.

“And I’ll have the biggest upset in the sport of boxing and we’ll fight to see who really is the face of boxing, I’m gonna be the new money man.”

Canelo is the current 168lb super-middleweight world champion.

But he has considered a move up to cruiserweight in the past in a bid to become a FIVE-division world champ.

And despite no belts being vacant at cruiserweight, Paul, 27, believes the allure of fighting him will convince Canelo, 34, up in weight.

“If everyone remembers, he was gonna challenge (Ilunga) Makabu to become cruiserweight champion.”

Canelo is coming off victory over victory over Edgar Berlanga, 27, in September to defend his super-middleweight belts.

Meanwhile Tyson, 58, comes out of retirement for his first pro fight in 20 YEARS to face 10-1 Paul.
