However, in February of 2025, rumors began to emerge concerning a fight between Alvarez and Paul. Although, it has been confirmed that the bout will not happen.
In response to the news that the pair will not compete, Paul expressed his frustrations online.

Among his tweets, Paul made comments such as, “No matter how much money they spend, they won’t be able to make a bigger fight than me and Canelito.

Canelo Alvarez signs four-fight deal with Turki Alalshikh
It has been confirmed that Alvarez has signed an exclusive four-fight deal with Saudi Arabian advisor Turki Alalshikh by ESPN.
Although the fights involved in the deal have not yet been confirmed, Alalshikh has said that the Mexican will fight in Saudi Arabia in May, as well as a fight between Terence Crawford and Alvarez in September.
The deal with Alalshikh may have been the final nail in the coffin of a fight between Paul and Alvarez, as the Saudi Arabain is seemingly not interested in the bout.
Despite their relationship being tense in the past, a meeting between Alalshikh and Alvarez has seemingly led to the pair settling on terms with one another.
It is unclear now as to who the ‘Problem Child’ will face in his next boxing match, however, Paul was called out by former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz, but has not publically responded to the offer.
