It looks like the highly anticipated match between American YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and Mexican professional boxer Canelo Alvarez might no longer be happening. Instead of finalizing a deal with Paul for a May fight, Alvarez has signed a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, as revealed in a recent press conference. In light of this development, an old video of Paul has resurfaced online, stirring up quite the buzz.
The 2022 video of Jake Paul showed him confidently swearing to his mother that within three years, he would fight and defeat Canelo Alvarez. And with the fight now unlikely to happen, fans are amused that Paul's bold promise might not be fulfilled after all.

Well, now that the highly anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Canelo Alvarez seems off the table due to Alvarez signing another deal, it debunks the promise Paul made in his 2022 video, as this user believes.
Another Tommy Fury fight (via @frankie0819 / X)
Maybe Jake Paul should prove his mettle first in a rematch against Tommy Fury, who previously defeated him, before even thinking about taking on Canelo Alvarez, as this user suggests. But that mocking laughter GIF has got to sting!
Rigged or not rigged? (via @freebranddon / X)
Ah, a true non-believer in Jake Paul’s fighting abilities! This user is so skeptical that if Paul somehow manages to beat Canelo Alvarez, he'll be convinced that the fight was rigged.

Woah! Looks like Jake Paul blocked this user from his profile! Did he also back out of a deal to fight the YouTuber and sign another one instead?

Could it be that Jake Paul actually paid Canelo Alvarez to back out of the fight because he wasn’t ready to face him yet? It seems this user is really trying to get under Paul’s skin!
Jake Paul's 2022 promise to himself seems to be on hold now that Canelo Alvarez reportedly won’t be signing a deal to fight him. But that certainly hasn’t wavered the hopes of Paul’s fans, as they’re still eager to see the fight happen this year!
