Jake Paul returns to the boxing ring for the first time since his unanimous decision victory over Mike Tyson in November 2024. On Saturday, June 28, Paul will face former WBC middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. The American content creator entered the boxing world by generating a spectacle and, in turn, generating controversy by not being a professional boxer and facing boxing/MMA figures such as Tyron Woodley, Mike Tyson, Tommy Fury, among others.
The younger of the Paul brothers continues to make great strides, where last year he signed a historic victory, the biggest of his career so far, winning the fight against Mike Tyson in Texas, a very controversial fight when facing a 58-year-old ‘Iron’ Mike, who was exhausted after an authentic battle in the first rounds of the fight.
What’s next for Jake Paul?
The young influencer and boxer will now face the former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a fight to further cement his legacy, while the veteran boxer will look to put an end to the American’s trash-talk once and for all. It promises to be a fight that will not leave anyone unhappy, with two boxers who stand out for their great punching power and who promise to finish the fight before reaching the decision
However, this card not only features the fight between Paul and Chavez, but also includes other interesting duels such as the co-main event between Gilberto ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez against Yuniel Dorticos, two fighters who will seek to snatch the title from their rival in a high-level duel for an event of this caliber, all this on DAZN on its PPV.
