    The face of boxing dominated and dropped his middleweight counterpart on his way to earning a unanimous decision victory.
    YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, however, was far from impressed by the Mexican’s display and claimed he’d have difficulty dealing with his power if they ever fought.
    He said: “Yeah Charlo is not really giving him anything, not really giving him that power.
    “Yeah, wait till Canelo gets my power, you know? Just wait, brother.”

    Paul has been publicly campaigning for a showdown with boxing’s former pound-for-pound king for the best part of two years.
    Four-weight champion Canelo recently revealed he doesn’t respect the former Disney actor as a fighter.
    But he’s not opposed to sharing the ring with him, telling The Nelk Boys: “I think it’s good because other people who never watch boxing, they don’t know anything about boxing.
    “They want to watch Jake Paul because he brings fans from other worlds, not boxing fans.
    “That’s good because everybody enjoys it. What they do, I think they do for business, and you need to respect that.”
    Paul, 26, hasn’t set foot inside the ring since his August showdown with UFC legend Nate Diaz, whom he defeated via unanimous decision.

    Despite KSI not revealing her identity, he does have a girlfriend.
    The boxer often mentions his partner in interviews – but her identity is still a complete mystery.
    KSI – who shot to fame as one of the Sidemen – refuses to tell people her name, leaving fans wondering who his mysterious girl really is.
    In his 2023 Amazon documentary, the streamer revealed that he got back with his girlfriend after splitting up in 2021.
    Ahead of his fight with Tommy Fury, the YouTuber also revealed in September 2023, how his partner was “f***ing terrified” about seeing him take on the Love Island star – that was until she watched him sparring.

    KSI told streamer Adin Ross: “I’ll tell you this – my girlfriend was very, very nervous, very, very nervous.
    “She was like, ‘I don’t know about this Tommy fight, I’m f***ing terrified, Tommy’s a big guy, I saw what he did to Jake. I’m not sure about this fight, can I see you spar?’
    “She saw me spar – I sparred terribly – and she was like, ‘Oh my f***ing God I get it. Oh my f***ing God, you’re going to f***ing annihilate him.’
    “I sparred terribly, mum’s life I sparred terribly. This week I sparred terribly and she was like, ‘Yeah, I f***ing understand.'”

    KSI also brought up his mystery woman during an interview with Good Morning Britain in August 2023.
    He said: “For me, I keep my private things very, very private. I have a girlfriend and she’s very private, we keep things quiet.
    “Whenever I spend time with her, it’s all about her. Even with my family, I like to do things privately and it’s just making sure that whenever I need to be out in the public eye.”
    Also in November 2019, just ahead of his match against Logan Paul, KSI paid tribute to his family and gave a mention to his ‘beautiful girlfriend’.
    The YouTuber revealed on Instagram: “My body has been pushed to a point I never knew I had. I came to Vegas to be trained by the best with no distractions and I have come out an absolute beast.

    Who has he been previously linked with?
    Seana Cuthbert

    The pair were in a relationship from 2012 to 2014.
    The vlogger, who goes by the user name Seanyyy, previously opened up on her time with the boxer, revealing that he was “too busy online” to dedicate time to a serious relationship.
    Seana told followers: “We were very young, only 17 and lived miles apart.
    “He was also really busy with YouTube and did not have enough time for a relationship. We were quite young and he just wanted to go out and enjoy himself – like every lad does.
    “I’ve moved on and so has he now.”
    Anne Marie
    In early 2023, it was rumoured that KSI and singer Anne-Marie were dating after working on songs together.
    The rumour-mill went into overdrive, with fans thinking that she could be the secret girlfriend.
    But the pair soon shut down speculation, and KSI confirmed in a YouTube video that they weren’t an item. More
