Jake Paul is confident he will beat Canelo Alvarez within three years after the Mexican was defeated by Dmitry Bivol.
Alvarez was outpointed by his Russian rival as he fell short in his bid to win a second light-heavyweight world title. And Paul, who has regularly called out the pound-for-pound great, was quick to respond, taking particular aim at Eddie Hearn with whom he shared promotional responsibilities for Katie Taylor's win over Amanda Serrano last weekend.
"And just like that Canelo Alvarez loses to Dmitry Bivol," he said in a video posted on social media. "An amazing fight by Bivol. I'm two inches bigger than Bivol and 40lb heavier. Give me three years and I take out Canelo in the same way. He was up on the ropes like he won but he only won three rounds in the entire fight.
