Alvarez was reportedly in talks to face Paul in May, but will now turn his attention elsewhere, including a September showdown with Terence Crawford

Alvarez signed a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season, nixing the Jake Paul bout which was being finalized for May 3 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and expected to stream on Netflix.
