BOXING superstar Canelo Alvarez has refused to rule out a fight with YouTuber Jake Paul.

The unified super-middleweight champion of the world has been the subject of a number of callouts from the social media star turned boxer.

Mexican mauler Canelo initially shut down the prospect of fighting the younger Paul brother by slamming YouTube fights.

But the pound-for-pound king has seemingly performed a U-turn by leaving the door open to facing The Problem Child.

When asked what he thinks of a potential fight with Paul, the 31-year-old said: “Not right now.”

The Guadalajara gladiator then said: “He’s not ready.”

When asked if he thinks the fight ‘might be a good option’, Canelo replied: “If he wants someone to fight, we have this guy right here [Points to a friend].”

He added: “He needs to keep improving. Good luck.”
