Will Jake Paul accept the Steven Nelson challenge?

Despite the fact that he has not faced any legitimate competition, Jake Paul almost brought a fight against the unified world champion of super medium cinnamon Álvarez, but unfortunately the agreement fell, and now the 168 pound contender Steven Nelson (20-1 , 16, 16, 16, 16, 16 kos) has presented Paul an interesting offer.

On Saturday, February 8, it was announced that, as part of the Four Fights of Canelo Álvare 2025. Canelo was stripped in July 2024, and three months later, William Scull picked up the IBF vacancy strap when he defeated Vladimir Shishkin.

Canelo Álvarez was stripped at the time because he refused to face William Scull. Now, with a victory over Scull, Canelo will claim his indisputable status. If Canelo is successful in May, a September fight against Terence Crawford will be more intriguing due to the fact that Crawford will have the opportunity to become an undisputed world champion of three divisions.

Crawford’s stable partner, Steven Nelson, would like to fill the main slot with a fight against Jake Paul. Since his boxing trip began, Jake Paul (11-1, 7 kos) has constantly talked about facing Canelo, but it is difficult for fans of the fight to accept that Paul receives that type of opportunity due to the level of competition he faced .

The best victory in Jake Paul’s curriculum is a victory over Mike Tyson, 58. The rest of Paul’s victories have arrived against Youtubers, MMA fighters on the hill and unknown boxers at the club level. If Paul takes a step forward and accepts this recent challenge, he will have the opportunity to defeat a credible opponent.

If Canelo can obtain by Crawford, then Paul’s victory over a credible opponent in the possible Canelo vs Crawford card could persuade Canelo to give Jake Paul his sleep shot. However, before Paul can count on this route to face Canelo, he has to achieve a victory against hard competition.

Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Steven Nelson met Terence “Bud” Crawford in a local recreation patio when Crawford was 11 years old. The two would forge a friendship as later in Crawford life began their professional boxing trip, and Nelson would continue to serve as a satellite communications operator in the army.

While serving in the army, Nelson became a member of the Army boxing team. After fulfilling his time in the army, Nelson turned to boxing, and the age of 27, Steven Nelson made his debut in professional boxing in March 2016, since he arrested Billy Colón in the first round.

Nelson would continue in 19 consecutive victories. On the night of January 25, 2025, Steven Nelson faced the biggest challenge of his career, since he was ready to assume the NBB contender number one, Diego Pacheco.

Nelson had a good start while he was pressing forward and dictating the rhythm of the fight. In the fourth round, Pacheco was able to take care of the fight with his time and his ability to take off his back foot. While trying to gather in round 12, Nelson hurt Pacheco when he landed a hard shot to the left.

Nelson proceeded to press aggressively forward and go for knockout, but unfortunately for Nelson, Diego Pacheco was able to survive the round. At the end of the 12 round contest, the three judges scored the fight (117-111) in favor of Diego Pacheco.

Now Steven “So Cold” Nelson is ready to move forward and recover big. Nelson turned to social networks and published a promotional poster of his and Jake Paul while issued the open challenge.

“Yes @jakepaul, since Canelo is fighting my brother @Tencecrawford instead of you, I and you can fight with the weight you want. It’s time to fight a true … active … Boxer, Jake! “

Celerre to fight Crawford’s teammate in Canelo vs Crawford Underfard makes a lot of sense if Paul wants to prove that he is worthy of a fight against Canelo. In this scenario, Steven Nelson would face a type of high -profile celebrities, and Jake Paul would finally face an active boxer well educated.

A shock of Steven Nelson vs. Jake Paul could be beneficial for both men, but is it a match against a talented boxer like Steven Nelson, 36, a risk that Jake Paul is willing to take?
