Tony Bellew doesn't believe Jake Paul's claim that he could beat Canelo Alvarez within three years - and thinks the YouTube star is just searching for a reaction.
Paul has frequently called out the undisputed 168lb ruler and is confident he can beat the Mexican and become world champion in the sport. Bellew has recently feuded with Paul over his presence in boxing, with the pair coming face-to-face during Katie Taylor's victory over Amanda Serrano.
Despite their previous words, Bellew believes Paul is "bright and intelligent" which is why he has claimed he wants to share the ring with Alvarez. "He doesn't think he can beat Canelo. Stop, please stop," Bellew said during an interview with iFL TV.
