Despite the fact that he did not face any legitimate competition, Jake Paul almost landed in the fight against the United World Champion of the Super-Credit Weight of Canela Alvarez, but unfortunately the deal has gone through, and now 168 kilograms are candidate Steven Nelson (20-1 , 16 Kos) presented to Paulo an interesting offer.
On Saturday, February 8, it was announced that as part of the contract with four fights of Canela Alvarez with Turki Alalshikh, Canelo will face IBF super-medical champions William Scull (23-0, 9 KOS) on May 3 2025. Back in July 2024, and three months later, William Scull picked up an empty IBF belt when he beat Vladimir Shishkin.
Canelo Alvarez was then confiscated because he refused to face William Scull. Now, with a win over Scull, Canelo will regain its undisputed status. If Canelo is successful in May, September against Terrence Crawford will be more intriguing due to the fact that Crawford will have the opportunity to become an indisputable world champion in three divisions.
Crawford’s stable, Steven Nelson, would like to fill the co-music slot paint against Jake Paul. Ever since he started his boxer trip, Jake Paul (11-1, 7 Kos) has been consistently spoke of confronting Canelo, but it’s hard to accept Paul fans who have accepted that kind of possibility because of the competition he has faced.
The best victory in Jake Paul’s resume is the victory over 58-year-old Mike Tyson. The rest of Paul’s victories came against YouTubers, an MMA fighter with excessive boxing and unknown boxers at the club level. If Paul enhances and accepts this recent challenge, they will have the opportunity to beat a credible opponent.
If Canelo can reach Crawford, then Paul’s victory over a credible opponent on the potential of Canelo VS Crawford Card could persuade Canela to make Jake Paul to her dream shot. But before Paul can count on him to lower this route towards Canela, he has to win a win against some stiff competition.
Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Steven Nelson met Terrence “Bud” Crawford on a local playground when Crawford was 11 years old. The two would create a friendship as later in Crawford’s life began his boxer path, and Nelson will serve as an operator of satellite communication in the military.
While serving in the army, Nelson became a member of the army of boxer team. After serving his time in the army, Nelson turned to boxing, and in the age of 27, Steven Nelson made his debut with boxing in March 2016 because he stopped Billy Colon in the first round.
Nelson would continue to reject 19 consecutive victories. On the night of January 25, 2025. Steven Nelson faced the biggest career challenge because he was supposed to take over WBO’s number one candidate, Diego Pacheco.
Nelson started well as he pressed forward and dictated the pace of the fight. In the fourth round, Pacheco was able to take over the fight with his time and his ability to hint from the back foot. As he tried to gather in the 12th round, Nelson injured Pachec when he landed a hard left shot.
Nelson continued to aggressively press forward and go knockout, but unfortunately for Nelson, Diego Pacheco managed to survive the circle. At the end of the competition in 12 rounds, all three judges scored a fight (117-111) in favor of Diego Pachec.
Now Steven is “so cold” Nelson ready to move on and bounce in a big way. Nelson referred to social media and published a promo poster of himself and Jake Paul as he continued to issue an open challenge.
“Aye @jakepaul, since Canelo fights my brother @TERENCECWFORD instead of you, me and you can fight no matter the weight you want. It’s time to fight the right … active … boxer, strong !!! “
The fight of Crawford’s teammate at Canelo VS Crawford Undercard makes a perfect sense if Paul wants to prove that he is worthy of fighting Canel. In this scenario, Steven Nelson would face a high opponent’s opponent, and Jake Paul would finally face a well -educated active boxer.
Steven Nelson against Jake Paul Clash could be useful for both men, but the match against a talented boxer like 36-year-old Steven Nelson risk that Jake Paul is ready to take?
