Jake Paul is getting ready to face Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in the boxing ring on June 28. This match will put Paul's boxing skills to the test against a former world champion.
Logan Paul, Jake's brother and a WWE figure, talked about the upcoming fight on the Impaulsive podcast. He stressed how important this match is for Jake's boxing career.
"This guy is real, this guy can box, he fought a lot of fights, he has a lot of experience in boxing," Logan said. "This guy (Chavez Jr.) is a real boxer, so it's going to be to prove that Jake is a real boxer."
Jake Paul has been working hard to make a name for himself in boxing. He's faced some trouble finding opponents that boxing fans see as credible. Even Canelo Alvarez turned down a fight with him. But Logan thinks this match will change things.
"He's not fighting tomato cans or taxi drivers. Every person he fought had a chance to beat him and they believed they could do it," Logan added.
Pam Stepnick, the Paul brothers' mom, also shared her thoughts on the fight. At first, she didn't know much about Chavez Jr.
"I really didn't know who he was, so I had to look him up," Pam said. "That guy is a very experienced fighter and he's going to be tough."
She also had a message for Jake's critics:
"If all those haters want to get in the ring, let them do it, then let them talk."
This fight is a big deal for Jake Paul. If he wins, he'll gain more respect in the boxing world. It's his chance to show he's more than just an internet celebrity putting on a show. He wants to prove he's a real boxer.
The match on June 28 will answer a lot of questions about Jake Paul's boxing future. Will he stand up to the challenge of facing a former world champion? The boxing world will be watching closely to find out.
