Jake Paul the influencer, pro boxer and professional boxing promoter has had his next fight officially confirmed today against a big name boxer.
He’s not an old man or washed up MMA fighter either.
He is however the son of boxing legend from Mexico Julio Cesar Chavez senior — Chavez Jr.
Speaking on X a short time ago Paul said:
“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.”
Boom.
Even live on DAZN as well.
Chavez Jr has won two fights on the trot in recent years and is on a bit of a comeback in the sport.
Many of course will think he will chin Paul in this.
