Jake Paul says Canelo Alvarez should stay awake, scared of him at night

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

And Paul, 27, says that the day the two men come face to face in the squared circle, Jake will be anything but happy to be there… because he’s there to win!

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

“The fight is going to happen and I’m going to win and shock the whole world. And I’m the one making it happen right now.”

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

“People will sit there and listen to this and say, ‘Oh, he’s crazy.’ But I was crazy when I said I’d make the biggest fights when 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 and break his blockage in five weeks.

We asked Jake if he thought, oh shit, I’m fighting “Iron Mike”?

“Definitely. The insecure moments, especially moving up to heavyweight where (Tyson) has the weight advantage and all that. He’s incredibly powerful and I know he takes it seriously.”

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

“It’s Mike Tyson or nothing,” Paul said, “but first and foremost, he’s healthy, he feels good and is doing well in camp.”
