The probable opponent of the American will be the former world middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (53-6-1, 34 KOs). The last time the Mexican entered the ring was last December in Mexico, when he beat the Peruvian David Zegarra on points.
For Paul, this will be the first fight with an opponent with a fairly successful professional career. His last boxing appearances were against former MMA fighters. This evening in the USA will be broadcast on a paid system on Showtime.
