Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is the right opponent for Jake Paul

Paul’s opponents have to strike a delicate balance between a quality name that can sell tickets and a broader appeal, and an experience level and/or current ability that matches his. What ends up happening is that we get Paul against either inexperienced fighters who lack skill or over-the-hill fighters with deteriorating ability. However, Chavez’s power has been undeniable, even when his dedication to training has been questionable, at best. Even as he closes in on 40, Chavez still can fight and has a solid chin and has a punishing left hook. Paul’s superstar status has allowed him to take away the power from boxing promoters to dictate fights, something US media personality Stephen A. Smith called a “beautiful thing for the sport”. Dana White is the final name on the list, only adding fire to the feud between the pair after Paul called the UFC boss out for how he treats his fighters.

Jake Paul vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

The Mexican became a world champion back in 2011, when Jake Paul was just 14-years-old. Julio Cesar Chavez Sr also took to the microphone, to both acknowledge Paul’s work promoting boxing among the new generations and sharing his confidence in his son’s ability despite his advanced age. The YouTuber and former world champion will clash over 10-rounds at cruiserweight, live on DAZN PPV. For Paul’s sake, he better hope that a motivated Chavez shows up in the ring on June 28 and gives him a fight. It may not silence all of the naysayers, but it will help him grow as a fighter. If not, and Chavez shows up visibly out of shape, the criticism will deservedly rain from all angles.

Some will groan over the idea that Paul is facing another former champion well out of his prime. However, this is a logical step in Paul’s boxing career, who turned pro in 2020 with only one amateur fight. What I bring to the table and my name, I have 61 fights already and yes I haven’t looked the same in my last two fights, but I fought with serious injuries in my body that I will tell you about later on. That could be about to change with conversations underway and an offer made to see Paul fight former middleweight world champion Julio César Chávez Jr. We acknowledge and pay respect to the land and the traditional families of the Yugambeh region of South East Queensland, and their Elders past, present and emerging.

Paul’s popularity has been the yin and yang of his boxing career, and it puts him under public scrutiny every time he announces a fight. The expectations of him fighting a “real boxer” are often illogical, considering that the term “real boxer” actually means an experienced fighter who would defeat him. Coming off a record-breaking boxing event where Paul defeated 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson by unanimous decision, the YouTuber-turned-prizefighter sought Canelo, one of the biggest names in the sport.

“Jake Paul and his people contacted me regarding a fight with Paul,” he said. Smith though did add that Paul calling out Alvarez was an “insult” and you can only imagine how he would react to the YouTuber adding Tyson in particular to that list. Jake Paul has named his five-fight bucket list while developments bubble away in the background, with the YouTube star’s potential next opponent revealed. “It’s super exciting. There was nothing like this when I was starting out fighting,” the 33-year-old said. “I will tell you, there is a line but Jake is committed to boxing. You see what he’s doing in that sport, but he also continues to train in MMA.
