'That's a massive attraction' - Frank Warren reacts to possible Canelo Alvarez vs Jake Paul fight

There is no doubt a potential fight between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Jake Paul would be a massive event. 

This was an opinion echoed by veteran boxing promoter Frank Warren who was speaking ahead of Derek Chisora's fight with Otto Wallin this Saturday live on DAZN (excluding the UK). 

Warren is no stranger in playing a part in some of boxing's biggest events with the two showdowns between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson being recent examples.

Speaking to The Stomping Ground in Manchester, Warren gave his thoughts on a contest which is likely to generate a mixed response from boxing fans. 

"That’s a massive attraction," Warren said. 

"All the indications are that it’s the fight that is going to happen. I saw this morning on The Ring social media site that the Crawford fight’s off.

"It will be a huge fight, there will be a lot of response to that."

As mentioned by Warren, it appears that the mega-fight between Alvarez and Terence Crawford is not happening according to The Ring. 

Last week, it was reported by the same publication that a deal had been struck for Alvarez and Crawford to fight in September, and now reports of the contest falling off have emerged following the rumours that the Mexican will now face Paul in May.
