Jake Paul is getting back in the ring, and this time, he's squaring off against Julio César Chávez Jr. on June 28th at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
After his recent victory over Mike Tyson—a fight that, love or hate him, we all watched on Netflix—Paul is now stepping up to face a former world champion.
But this upcoming fight is a pay-per-view event. So, the big question is, are we willing to pay extra for this one?
Julio César Chávez Jr. is the son of boxing legend Julio César Chávez Sr., one of Mexico’s greatest fighters.
My parents would always buy his fights growing up. I have so many memories of watching him box when I was kid and my parents throwing big watch parties at my house.
Chávez Jr. used to be a world champ, but he’s almost 40…and hasn’t looked sharp in a long time. Lately, fans think he looks sloppy and unmotivated.
Jake Paul’s feeling pretty confident right now—he’s won 11 out of 12 fights, with 7 knockouts. And he’s not shy about his goals—he wants to take on big-name fighters.
So, whether you're a fan or a critic, the question remains: After watching Paul vs. Tyson on Netflix... will you pay to see him take on Chávez Jr.?
