Jake Paul announces fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
Jake Paul has confirmed that on June 28, he will go head to head with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
As we all know by now, Jake Paul is a pretty controversial figure within the world of professional boxing. The man known as ‘The Problem Child’ has certainly been through his fair share of ups and downs in his career thus far but for the most part, he’s been able to make a lot of money – and he’s done it by taking on a variety of different opponents.
One of the big criticisms thrown at Jake Paul is that he doesn’t take on legitimate boxers. Then, when he does, it’s often when they’re far past their prime, which was the case in his clash with Mike Tyson that aired around the world on Netflix. There were plenty of rumors going around regarding who his next opponent would be and in the end, it was confirmed to be Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who has had a career that didn’t quite pan out in the way many had expected.
In the following social media post, Jake Paul spoke candidly about the bout and what fans can expect to see this summer.
Jake Paul reveals next opponent
“Five years ago, I stepped into the ring for my pro debut after 1 amateur fight, and every fight since has been a step towards becoming world champion. I just defeated the baddest man on the planet and broke multiple records, and now I’m going against a former world champion with 54 wins who Canelo could barely beat.
“Chávez Jr. is Mexican, but I, El Gallo De Dorado, mexi-CAN knock him tf out. On Saturday, June 28, live on DAZN pay-per-view, I will defeat Julio and make Chávez Sr. proud in ways Jr. never has. Viva La Puerto Rico.”
