Jake Paul gives Dana White the honor for promoting Canelo vs Crawford without financing it

In what could eventually become one of the most important weekends of White's career, he can promote two huge combat sport events on the same day.
'The Problem Child' wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that as a promoter he has to give himself a credit where it is due to the recent movements of White in the world of boxing where he immediately jumps into the deep.
“Dana White is the promoter for Canelo Crawford and he doesn't have to place 1 $. Fair Play Dana. Fair Play.”

What is the next step for Jake Paul?
After his victory over Mike Tyson last November, Jake Paul will return to the Ring on 28 June, where he meets the son of a boxing legend.
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Has 62 Pro fights under his belt, because they have had to deal with Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs as former WBC Middle Weight champion.
At the age of 39, his recent career saw him on former MMA stars such as Anderson Silva and Uriah Hall, after he had drones opposite the undercard of Paul vs Tyson, until the fight was postponed.
They arrive in the Ring on 28 June in the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
The card is also set to contain former UFC Bantamweight champion Holly Holm, who returns to boxing against Yolanda Vega.
