Jake Paul has his sights set on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and it's all going down very, very soon. The self-proclaimed Problem Child will be squaring off against the former WBC middleweight champion on Saturday, June 28. This is the Ohio native's first time back in the ring since his fight against Mike Tyson back in November.
That was billed as one of the most anticipated fights of the year, despite the age gap and experience between the two. However, it wound up being a pretty middling fight overall, with Tyson unfortunately showing his age halfway through. Paul won handily, although he gave Iron Mike all the flowers in the world.
But with Cesar Chavez Jr. being 39 and Jake 28, this match has more potential to really go the distance or end with a shocking K.O. This is a big one for the YouTuber and content creator because he's looking to keep his win streak alive. Jake is 11-1 with 7 KOs, but the respect still isn't entirely there for the newcomer.
This could be his most important fight of his career as Julio Cesar Chavez is 54-6-1 with 34 knockouts. Conversely, though, bettors don't see it the same way. Paul is an overwhelming favorite according to DAZN. He sits at 2/15 odds to win, whereas Chavez Jr. is being given 19/4.
