Jake Paul says Canelo Alvarez must lie awake at night afraid of him

Jake Paul is hyper-focused on his mega-fight with Mike Tyson …but the Problem Child also has an eye on the future and an inevitable confrontation with the big ones Canelo Alvarez!

And 27-year-old Paul says that when the day comes for the two men to come face to face in the squared circle, Jake will be anything but content to just be there… because he’s in it to win!

“Everything I said came true and why Canelo, you know, should be up at night because I’m coming after him,” Paul said Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV program (broadcast every evening FS1).

“The fight is going to happen and I’m going to win and shock the whole world. And this is me right now speaking it into existence.”

For the people who will no doubt mock Jake for the previous statement, he had a message.

“People will sit there and listen to it and say, ‘Oh, he’s crazy.’ But I was crazy when I said I would do the biggest fights if I beat Tyron Woodley, Anderson Silvaall these things. So you’re crazy until you’re not.”

But first things first… Paul has a determined Tyson coming to try to clear his block in five weeks.

We asked Jake if he thinks to himself, oh well, I’m fighting “Iron Mike”?

“Absolute. The moments of uncertainty, especially the transition to heavyweight [Tyson] has the weight advantage and all. He is insanely powerful and I know he takes it seriously.”

As for Mike’s health status (remember, the big fight was originally scheduled for this summer, but… was postponed after MT had a medical problem), Paul says Tyson is healthy and ready to go.

“It’s Mike Tyson or nothing,” Paul said, “but first and foremost he’s healthy and feeling great and doing great in camp.”
