Paul, the YouTuber who's now boxing, is coming off a win that got people talking. He beat Mike Tyson last November in a fight that had folks scratching their heads. Before that, he took down Anderson Silva, who used to be a UFC champ.
Chavez Jr's got a good name in boxing. He used to hold the WBC middleweight title. But he's had a rough go of it lately. He lost his belt to Sergio Martinez over ten years ago, and things haven't been the same since. In June 2021, he even lost to Anderson Silva - the same guy Paul beat.
Roy Jones Jr, who used to be a champ in several weight classes, thinks Paul's got this one in the bag. He told Prime Casino:
"I think Jake should probably take him out, mainly because Jake beat Anderson Silva, and Silva beat Chavez."
Jones Jr reckons Paul's got the edge because he's bigger, he's used to fighting at this weight, and he's got more fire in his belly to win.
But Canelo Alvarez, who's fought Chavez Jr before, sees it differently. He thinks Chavez Jr can pull it off if he trains hard.
ESPN broke the news about the fight, and now everyone's waiting to see if Paul can keep his winning streak going or if Chavez Jr can turn things around.
