The highly anticipated fight between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul concluded with Paul emerging victorious by unanimous decision. After the bout, Paul seized the opportunity to send a bold message to Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez.

Using the media spotlight to his advantage, Paul took aim at Álvarez, regarded by many as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world: "Canelo needs me more than I need him. He knows it, and he knows where the money is," Paul declared following his win over the veteran Iron Mike in Arlington, Texas.

This isn't the first time the YouTuber-turned-boxer has mentioned Álvarez. Before the fight, Paul suggested that a matchup with the Mexican star would be an exciting prospect.

So far, Álvarez has not responded to Paul’s post-fight remarks. It’s worth noting that the 34-year-old Mexican fighter has previously stated his plans to retire at 37.

"From age 28 or 29 until now, I’ve felt my best. I’ve always said 37 is a good age to enjoy what I’ve achieved with my family and explore other things in my career," Álvarez said in an interview with Hugo Sánchez.
