Last week Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez was asked about the recent trend of circus fights involving celebrities and retired athletes. The WBC super middleweight champ, and many people’s pick for best boxer on the planet, wasn’t kind when discussing these spectacles.

Alvarez did offer to spar with both Logan Paul and Jake Paul, the YouTubers who are at the centre of this trend, to show them what boxing is truly all about.
