After a fight against Canelo Alvarez fell apart, Jake Paul will step into the ring for the first time on June 28, facing former world champion Julio César Chávez Jr. at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.
The social media influencer-turned-boxer, Paul, has a record of 11 wins and one loss, including seven knockouts. His most notable victory was a unanimous decision over Mike Tyson in November 2024, a fight that became the most-streamed sporting event on Netflix, attracting a staggering 65 million viewers. Currently, he is exploring the possibility of a match with Alvarez, a deal that fell through when Alvarez surprisingly opted for a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season instead.
Chávez Jr. enters the ring with a record of 54 wins, six losses, and one draw, including 34 knockouts. Throughout his career, he has experienced many ups and downs, having last held a major world title in 2012. He faced a challenging loss to former MMA champion Anderson Silva in 2021, but he has since bounced back and is currently on a two-fight win streak.
