Jake Paul Vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr: Confirmed - Update

Jake Paul's Next Opponent: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Confirmed for DAZN PPV Event

This article reflects updates since the official announcement.

Get ready for a DAZN pay-per-view showdown! Jake Paul, fresh off his unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson in November 2024 (11-1 record, 7 KOs), will face former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Chavez Jr., at 39 years old, boasts a 54-6-1 professional record with 34 KOs. His recent win against Uriah Hall in July 2024 solidified his standing.

Following Paul's fight with Tyson, Chavez Jr. publicly challenged Paul. While initial responses were muted, with proposed bouts against Canelo Alvarez and Tommy Fury falling through, Chavez Jr. has emerged as the next opponent.

This matchup, while not a significant age disparity compared to the Tyson fight (only an 11-year difference), presents an interesting challenge for Paul. BoxRec ratings place Chavez Jr. as a two-star fighter, versus Paul's one-and-a-half stars. This suggests a less lopsided contest than the Paul-Tyson match.

Paul's promotional team, MVP Promotions, has already begun the pre-fight hype, acknowledging past attempts to secure bigger names.

While the video offers no direct confirmation, reports confirm Chavez Jr. as the opponent. Expect Paul to be heavily favored in betting odds, a point arguably unfair to Chavez Jr., considering his past performance against Canelo Alvarez and his former world champion status.

Chavez Jr.'s career has often been hampered by conditioning and discipline issues. Despite inherent talent – a strong chin, impressive size, and powerful body punches – he hasn't reached his full potential. This fight, however, promises a substantial payday.

The undercard will feature a cruiserweight title bout between WBA and WBO champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez and Yuniel Dorticós, potentially setting the stage for future Paul matchups.

Stay tuned for further updates.
